ABSTRACT
Hungary therefore, seems a very suitable case for detailed study. On the one hand it offers an example of the problems of political change common to much of eastern Europe, while on the other hand it offers a specific example of what has so far been a relatively successful transformation. The contributions to this volume offer discussion both of the general problems that Hungary has shared with its neighbours and of the particular conditions that shaped the specific features of Hungary’s experience. Furthermore, they offer detailed examination of key institutions and groups in Hungarian politics and highlight the problems that Hungary has experienced in the course of its changes so far.
