Government and Politics in Hungary [Hardcover]

Andras Koroseny (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1999

This text provides both a historical overview and an analysis of the main political actors, constitution, electoral system, parliament and political parties of Hungary. It contains data intended to serve two purposes. The first is to survey the most important institutions of the political and governmental systems and the cultural and behavioural characteristics of Hungarian politics. The second is to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the two-way relationship between cultural-behavioural and constitutional-institutional levels of politics in Hungary. The text challenges many stereotypes of post-communist political literature and reveals why Hungarian politics does not fit into many of the generalizations and "pigeon holes" of contemporary political science.
