Civic and Uncivic Values in Hungary : Value Transformation, Politics, and Religion, Hardback Book

Civic and Uncivic Values in Hungary : Value Transformation, Politics, and Religion Hardback

Edited by Sabrina P. (Norwegian University of Science & Technology, Norway) Ramet, Laszlo (University of Miskolc, Hungary) Kurti

Part of the Routledge Advances in European Politics series

Hardback

Description

This book offers an analysis of values in Hungary. Following the proposition that civic values are crucial to liberal democracy and conducive to international peace, this book examines the extent to which these values are respected and practised in a number of policy spheres, with chapters devoted to the political system, the media, religion, relations with the European Union, history textbooks, cinema, Roma, and the attitudes of Hungarian women voters.

The book also charts how, under Prime Minister Orbán, Hungary has gravitated away from the civic values spelled out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Charter of the European Union. This book will prove to be of great use to scholars and students of democracy, East Central Europe, minorities, Hungarian contemporary history and politics, civic culture, gender studies, nationalism, human rights and more broadly the social sciences.
