I will participate at INDI 2021 Conference in Graz 18 June, 2021.
My paper is: The climate and ecological emergency in the era of state of exceptions
We live in an era of overlapping states of exceptions:
the climate and ecological emergency, the permanent crisis of global
capitalism, the migration crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic. Relying on the
Hungarian political system, this paper investigates how and why exceptional
measures restructure our life. Against the background of the current Hungarian
authoritarian populist regime, municipal experiences, and other contemporary
tendencies, three main forms of states of exceptions are investigated: (1) the
exceptionality of the migration crisis of 2015; (2) the climate emergencies
declared by local governments, which are rather political declarations and not
legally accepted versions of exceptional measures; (3) the overlapping forms of
COVID-19-related emergencies. It can be argued that the main outcome of the
exceptional measures is the rise of a new executive power and it is
demonstrated how heavily authoritarian regimes rely on the state of exception.
Amplifying the authoritarian tendencies and the abusive application of the
exceptional legal order, the COVID-19 crisis basically proved that it is worth
considering institutionalizing the climate and ecological emergency as a tool
in the struggle of resolving the planetary crisis of our time.
