Summary/Abstract: As illiberalism is rising globally, it is not surprising that not just the scholars of political science want to understand the phenomenon. Authoritarian regimes and politicians have become frequent guests of the covers of weekly magazines, and an article about illiberal governance can generate endless discussion threads on the internet. In many cases, however, the explanations of such articles and cover stories differ largely from the academic discourse. Nevertheless, they demonstrate that there is an increasing interest when it comes to illiberalism.
