Hungary and Austria in the “Third World”
This article examines globalization in Hungary and Austria, two equal-sized, landlocked Central European countries without an overseas colonial past, and their relationship with the Global South from the 1960s until the 1990s. Recent literature assumes that belonging to the Eastern Bloc gave the socialist countries an advantage in terms of their presence in the Global South. However, a comparison of their relations with the Global South shows tha…
Opening Up to the “Third World” or Taking a Detour to the “West”? The Hungarian Presence in Algeria from the 1960s to the 1980s
Alternative Paths of Globalization and the Technocratic Way to the Future
This article examines how the leadership of the Hungarian socialist state assessed its global position at the turn of the 1950s and responded to perceived challenges. The main problem identified was the technological lag behind the West. No further investment of capital and labour at the existing technological level could bring about any significant progress without an increase in efficiency. Thus, the import of technology from the West was seen …
Entanglements and Transfers in Socio-Economic Globalization Processes in Socialist East Central Europe
A World Lifted off Its Hinges
As was true virtually everywhere, World War I brought about significant social changes in Hungary. As a consequence of the wartime mobilization of the economy, the relationship between employers and workers in industry was transformed, as was the relationship between owners of different sizes of estates and farms and agricultural workers in rural areas. In both spheres, groups emerged which were much better organized than before. Some of them wer…
Actors, Ruptures, and Continuity
This article investigates the formation of a Hungarian socialist enterprise in the vehicle industry. After giving an overview of the legacy of World War II in a (nationalized) vehicle industry plant, it explores political, production, and wage conflicts on the basis of company and party archives and considers the kinds of resources which workers and engineers could use in their efforts to assert their interests. It also considers how these effort…
A delay in the emancipation of labour
In most countries in early twentieth-century Europe, labour, which had merged into privacy in the liberal configuration of the nineteenth century, distinguished itself as an independent area struct
La formation du groupe social des « magántisztviselö » en Hongrie 1890-1930
Cet article étudie comment, en Hongrie, les employés du secteur privé ont réussi à se regrouper pour former une « catégorie socioprofessionnelle » reconnue par l’État. À la fin du xixe siècle, la révolution industrielle et les progrès de la culture écrite entraînent un important développement du nombre des employés. Ceux-ci se mobilisent pour que la spécificité de leur fonction soit reconnue. Néanmoins, les associations regroupant les employés s’…
