Märksõnad:

While the literature of hybrid regimes has given up the presumption that post-communist countries must democratize, its language and concepts still mostly relate to Western democracies. Magyar and Madlovics strongly argue for a vocabulary and grammar tailored to the specifics of the region. In 120 theses they unfold a conceptual framework with (1) a typology of post-communist regimes and (2) a detailed presentation of ideal-type actors and the political, economic, and social phenomena in these regimes. The book is a more digestible companion to the 800-page The Anatomy of Post-Communist Regimes (CEU Press, 2020), which was a detailed theoretical study with plenty of empirical illustrations.

Each of the 120 theses contains a statement and its concise discussion supported by illustrative tables, figures, and QR-codes that connect the interested reader to the more detailed analysis in the Anatomy. In a condensed variety, this book has kept the holistic approach of the Anatomy and treats the spheres of political, market, and communal action as parts of a single, coherent whole. The endeavor to synthesize a vast range of ideas does not, however, result in a too complicated text. On the contrary, freed from the implicit presumptions of democracy theory, the new terminology yields a readily usable toolkit of unambiguous means of expression to speak about post-communism.

'The basic hypothesis of the authors is that the post-communist political trajectory after the fall of communism is leading to informal patronal systems of rule, and by no means to the establishment of Western-style legal-rational liberal democracy.' Die zentrale Institution jenes dritten Paradigmas wird als 'Mafia-Staat' bezeichnet. Dieses Konzept stützt sich auf Erkenntnisse über die historische Mafia, in der traditionelle Familienbeziehungen bestimmend sind und ein Patron die zentrale Figur darstellt. 'In essence, the mafia state is the business venture of the adopted political family managed through the instruments of public authority: the privatized form of a parasite state.'
