Unorthodoxy
is
a
term
frequently
used
by
the
current
Hungarian
government
to
describe
its
approach
to
policy
making
and,
more
generally,
to
transforming
governance.
The
?strong
state?
vision
underlying
their
ambition
has,
since
their
getting
into
power
in
2010,
manifested
in
a
lengthy
series
of
sweeping
institutional
and
policy
reforms,
and
of
domestic
and
international
conflicts.
Attention
has
so
far
been
focused
on
the
indeed
radically
changing
institutional
landscape,
the
constitutional
reforms
and
their
possibly
adverse
effects
on
such
fundamental
features
of
the
polity
as
the
functioning
of
checks
and
balances,
individual
rights,
democracy
and
rule
of
law,
and
social
inclusion.
The
broad
ambition
of
this
paper
is
to
move
beyond
this
institutional
level
of
analysis
and
to
examine
whether,
and
if
yes
to
what
extent
and
in
what
sense,
this
transformative
vision
of
unorthodoxy
reached
the
day-to-day
making
and
management
of
policies.
The
research
takes
a
comparative
perspective
both
in
time
and
across
countries,
relying
on
a
questionnaire
survey
of
senior
executives
in
16
European
countries.
Quantitative
evidence
is
supplemented
by
and
contrasted
with
qualitative data gained from key stakeholders of public sector reforms in Hungary.
