Post-Communist Transition : Emerging Pluralism in Hungary PDF
Edited by Andras Bozoki, Andras Korosenyi, George Schopflin
Part of the History and Politics in the 20th Century: Bloomsbury Academic series
Description
The transition from communist dictatorship to multi-party democracy has proved a long and painful process for the countries of Eastern Europe, and has met with varying degrees of success.
In Hungary, the radical opposition was uniquely successful in fighting off attempts by the old-guard communist elite to hijack reform programmes, by forcing free elections and creating a multi-party system.
This volume focuses on the Hungarian experience, analysing in detail the process of transition from dictatorship to pluralist democracy.
Some of Hungary's leading political scientists examine issues such as the legitimation crisis of communist rule, resulting struggles within the ruling elite and the forces behind transition.
Constitutional reform, party formation and voting behaviour at the first free elections are also taken into account.
The concluding section places the Hungarian experience in comparative perspective, within the context of other Central and Western European states.
