The present study attempts to define and outline the international and the Hungarian meaning of the concept of the phenomenon populism, which has been researched extensively in contemporary political science, jurisprudence and other social sciences. The primary method to approach the topic is by reviewing the international and specifically Hungarian specialist literature. We intend to define the relevant scientific problems, create our own definition and prepare a catalogue of practical problems, specifically for current Hungarian issues regarding the topic. Twelve areas (aspects) are presented, revealing their impact on civil society and confirming that some revealed special features continue to exist in Hungarian history, and especially in the current illiberal democracy in Hungary.
