| Tartalmi kivonat: | Seymour Lipset and Stein Rokkan's theory of ”political thresholds” has received unfairly little attention in the Hungarian literature. In the study, I point out the possibility of misinterpretations inherent in the few receptions, and I reinterpret the original theory with particular regard to the Hungarian case after the postcommunist regime change. The authors originally distinguish four thresholds: legitimation threshold, incorporation threshold, representation threshold, majority power threshold. In my study, I argue that Lipset and Rokkan's ”threshold theory” needs to be modified according to the empirical political reality, and that legitimacy issues can be defined not only for the first threshold, but also for all other thresholds. Accordingly, I insert a fifth threshold between the threshold of representation and the majority power, the threshold of rising to power, and reinterpret the five thresholds in the context of election and legitimacy. The threshold for rising to power should be introduced because there may be legal and/or political-ideological obstacles that do not allow access to power for parties that have won representation. (See mainly the pariah parties and the parties placed in political quarantine, with the paradigmatic case of Jörg Haider’s FPÖ in Austria.) In Hungary, due to the two-thirds majority required to amend the constitution, the threshold of the qualified majority (or supermajority) must also be distinguished within the threshold of majority power. |
