This collection is the most comprehensive account of the Fundamental Law and its underlying principles. The objective is to analyze this constitutional transition from the perspectives of comparative ...constitutional law, legal theory and political philosophy. The authors outline and analyze how the current constitutional changes are altering the basic structure of the Hungarian State. The key concepts of the theoretical inquiry are sociological and normative legitimacy, majoritarian and partnership approach to democracy, procedural and substantive elements of constitutionalism. Changes are also examined in the field of human rights, focusing on the principles of equality, dignity, and civil liberties.
Zaradi velike koncentracije ljudi, podjetij, trgovine in borznih trgov so mesta najpomembnejša središča gospodarskih dejavnosti po svetu. Zaradi hitro spreminjajočih se razmer, ki so posledica ...dejavnikov, kot so globalizacija, industrija 4.0, umetna inteligenca, pandemije in rusko-ukrajinska vojna, se mesta danes spopadajo z novim izzivi, za katere so potrebne inovativne in pametne rešitve za ohranjanje trajnostnosti in konkurenčnosti. Avtorja sta v članku analizirala uspešnost madžarskih mest z županijskimi pravicami z vidika pametnega razvoja, pri čemer sta se osredotočila zlasti na okoljsko in gospodarsko trajnostnost. Domnevala sta, da so gospodarsko razvitejša mesta (z vidika dohodka na prebivalca) zaradi razpoložljivih finančnih in kadrovskih virov po navadi bolj trajnostna, ni pa nujno, da so med njimi tudi največja mesta po številu prebivalcev (zaradi ekonomije obsega, manjše privlačnosti za bivanje in drugih razlogov). Analizirala sta tri od sedemnajstih ciljev trajnostnega razvoja, ki jih je opredelila Organizacija združenih narodov (OZN), pri tem pa sta uporabila kazalnike madžarskega centralnega statističnega urada in OZN ter jih prilagodila značilnostim madžarskega urbanega omrežja. Z normalizacijo minmax in izračunom povprečnih vrednosti sta oblikovala sestavljeni indeks ciljev trajnostnega razvoja. Mesta sta razvrstila v pet skupin, ki so se razlikovale predvsem po stopnji razvojne dinamike in privlačnosti mest za bivanje. Skupine, ki sta jih določila, izražajo prostorske značilnosti madžarskega urbanega omrežja, najbolj trajnostna pa so dinamična mesta na zahodu in severozahodu države.
By providing a survey of consumption and lifestyle in Hungary during the second half of the twentieth century, this book shows how common people lived during and after tumultuous regime changes. ...After an introduction covering the late 1930s, the study centers on the communist era, and goes on to describe changes in the post-communist period with its legacy of state socialism. Tibor Valuch poses a series of questions. Who could be called rich or poor and how did they live in the various periods? How did living, furnishings, clothing, income, and consumption mirror the structure of the society and its transformations? How could people accommodate their lifestyles to the political and social system? How specific to the regime was consumption after the communist takeover, and how did consumption habits change after the demise of state socialism? The answers, based on micro-histories, statistical data, population censuses and surveys help to understand the complexities of daily life, not only in Hungary, but also in other communist regimes in east-central Europe, with insights on their antecedents and afterlives.
Inventing the Needyoffers a powerful, innovative analysis of welfare policies and practices in Hungary from 1948 to the last decade of the twentieth century. Using a compelling mix of archival, ...interview, and ethnographic data, Lynne Haney shows that three distinct welfare regimes succeeded one another during that period and that they were based on divergent conceptions of need. The welfare society of 1948-1968 targeted social institutions, the maternalist welfare state of 1968-1985 targeted social groups, and the liberal welfare state of 1985-1996 targeted impoverished individuals. Because they reflected contrasting conceptions of gender and of state-recognized identities, these three regimes resulted in dramatically different lived experiences of welfare. Haney's approach bridges the gaps in scholarship that frequently separate past and present, ideology and reality, and state policies and local practices. A wealth of case histories gleaned from the archives of welfare institutions brings to life the interactions between caseworkers and clients and the ways they changed over time. In one of her most provocative findings, Haney argues that female clients' ability to use the state to protect themselves in everyday life diminished over the fifty-year period. As the welfare system moved away from linking entitlement to clients' social contributions and toward their material deprivation, the welfare system, and those associated with it, became increasingly stigmatized and pathologized. With its focus on shifting inventions of the needy, this broad historical ethnography brings new insights to the study of welfare state theory and politics.
Reflecting 25 years of archival research and presented here in English for the first time, Hungary between Two Empires 1526-1711 offers a fresh and thorough exploration of this key moment in ...Hungarian history and, in turn, the creation of a modern Europe.

Drawing from the ideas of critical geography and based on extensive archival research, Cole brilliantly reconstructs the formation of the Jewish ghetto during the Holocaust, focusing primarily on the ...ghetto in Budapest, Hungary--one of the largest created during the war, but rarely examined. Cole maps the city illustrating how spaces--cafes, theaters, bars, bathhouses--became divided in two. Throughout the book, Cole discusses how the creation of this Jewish ghetto, just like the others being built across occupied Europe, tells us a great deal about the nature of Nazism, what life was like under Nazi-occupation, and the role the ghetto actually played in the Final Solution.
Prispevek je nastal na podlagi analize kvantitativne raziskave z naslovom Stališča staršev v Porabju do slovenskega jezika oziroma dvo- in večjezičnosti ter tudi preteklih raziskav, strokovne ...literature in terenskih izkušenj. Študija prikazuje stališča porabskih Slovencev (staršev otrok, ki obiskujejo narodnostne vrtce) do slovenskega jezika (in drugih jezikov) in na drugi strani išče odgovore na vprašanje, zakaj je prišlo do prekinitve prenosa slovenske materinščine na anketirane – starše in posledično na najmlajše. Podatki kažejo, da si stališča in raba jezika v družini ter rezultati pri vprašanju, zakaj se vprašanim staršem zdi znanje slovenskega jezika pomembno za otroka, nasprotujejo. Med odgovori na vprašanje, zakaj se starši z otroki doma ne pogovarjajo porabsko/slovensko, izstopa mnenje, da starši in mladi ne znajo jezika in da ni medgeneracijskega prenosa. Pozitivna stališča staršev do slovenskega jezika so lahko dobra podlaga za revitalizacijo porabščine/slovenskega jezika v Porabju.
V prispevku so predstavljene poglavitne značilnosti potovanj turistov iz Slovenije na Madžarsko. Uvodoma je podan pregled ključnih turističnih kazalcev te države, ki se v nadaljevanju podrobneje ...osredotoči na turiste iz Slovenije in njihovo vlogo v strukturi tujih obiskovalcev. Drugi del prispevka povzema glavne izsledke analize spletne ponudbe organiziranih turističnih potovanj, ki jo oglašujejo slovenske turistične agencije. Ponudba je bila predmet prostorske in vsebinske (pogostost pojavljanja oglaševanih destinacij, vrsta storitev, trajanje in cena) analize.
In this original and provocative study, Zsuzsa Gille examines three scandals that have shaken Hungary since it joined the European Union: the 2004 ban on paprika due to contamination, the 2008 ...boycott of Hungarian foie gras by Austrian animal rights activists, and the "red mud" spill of 2010, Hungary's worst environmental disaster. In each case, Gille analyzes how practices of production and consumption were affected by the proliferation of new standards and regulations that came with entry into the EU. She identifies a new modality of power-the materialization of politics, or achieving political goals with the seemingly apolitical tools of tinkering with technology and infrastructure-and elucidates a new approach to understanding globalization, materiality, and transnational politics.
