Exclusionary Mechanisms of Social Policy Redistribution in Hungary
In this study the authors examine the impact of social incomes on social inequalities and social integration in the post-2010 populist welfare system in Hungary. A detailed quantitative analysis reveals the structure and distribution of social incomes among different groups in contemporary Hungarian society. This analysis includes factors such educational attainment, demographic structure and income of households, number of children, and deprivat…
After a Long March
This paper aims to show the main processes of rural restructuring of Hungary after the change of political system and EU integration. It describes the changes of agricultural land-use, new dynamics of urban rural relations and rural devel- opment of the last 25 years. In the paper, we argue that the most dynamic changes happened in the era of post-communism, ended by EU-accession and the era of consolidation. A characteristic phenomenon of these …
The New Dimension of Social Inequality
The structure of land ownership and land use changed significantly after the fall of the communist regime in most CEE countries. The goal of this paper is to present a unique analysis of the highly concentrated Hungarian land system and model spatial differences. Using settlements as observation units, this research proposes a methodology to include data on land of all individual and corporate farms. First, according to the dominant farm size, we…
Motivations of Subsistence Farming in Hungary
Our paper aims to explore the role of subsistence farming in Hungary by reviewing the literature, analyzing the primary data from a representative survey conducted in 2018 in Hungary and presenting two case-studies. According to European and national-level policy analysis, subsistence farming is a cornerstone of European agriculture, as it is a central element of a positive rural image. The paper is based on earlier theories on subsistence farmin…
Dynamics of an Authoritarian System
A települési egyenlőtlenségek új dimenziója
Tanulmányunk célja a magyarországi települések földhasználat-szerkezet szerinti csoportjainak kimutatása, és annak vizsgálata, hogy van-e összefüggés a települések fejlettségi mutatói és a földhasználat szerkezete között. Annak ellenére, hogy a földhasználat széles körben kutatott, kevés olyan elemzést találunk, amely települési szintű adatokra épül. Kutatásunk hozzáadott értékét az adja, hogy – eltérve a szakirodalom adathasználatától – megfigye…
State Populism in Rural Hungary
Our concern in this contribution is to ask what the special features of populism in Hungary are, where government and the largest opposition party can be considered populist. The study aims at analyzing motivations, interests, benefits, and profits of populism in fragile Hungarian regions. The main part examines three peculiar features of state populism: the rural support for stabile political and social structures; early-born conservative social…
Az örök falu – hanyatlás és fentmaradás. A községi népesség számának a változása
A tanulmány célja a községi népességszám változásának elemzése a rendszerváltozástól 2016-ig terjedő időszakban. A kutatás céljának megvalósításához új települési szintű adatbázisba rendeztük a KSH és a TEIR adatait. Az elemzés a községi népesség abszolút számának alakulását, valamint a változatlan közigazgatási besorolású községek adatait is magában foglalja, valamint röviden bemutatja a városi státuszt elnyerő települések népességének változásá…
Embourgeoisement
The term “embourgeoisement” has become a scientific term used regularly in research related to the postindustrial transformation period, and it is also applied to the era of capitalist transformation in later industrialized and postsocialist societies. Through universal welfare provision, rising real income, and redistributive justice, the working class is viewed as converging toward a middle‐class lifestyle, values, opinions, and modes of conduc…
Az integrációs modell érvényessége
By examining the integrative processes of the Hungarian society we developed two models grouping the members of the Hungarian society based on dimensions of social integration: the Integration model and the Integrative-normative functionalist model. In our study we aim to examine the construction-validity of these two models and to compare their validity to the validity of other well-known models used in the Hungarian research on social stratific…
Governing Social Innovation
Despite the extensive areas of under-used green and brownfield land that remain in public ownership, little academic attention has thus far been given to the role of the public sector in utilising this resource for shared forms of community food growing. Building upon recent calls for more research targeted towards the governance of social innovation, but also the spaces and places in which it occurs, this article presents an in-depth qualitative…
Knowledge, Power and Sustainability in Contemporary Rural Europe
This article looks at the evidence employed in the CORASON (the cognitive approach to rural sustainable development: the dynamics of expert and lay knowledge) research project of changing rural power relations in the context of sustainability and knowledge use in Europe. It explores what kinds of knowledge contribute to sustainable development in rural development projects and how they are created or empowered, according to the interest and capac…
The Project Class in Central Europe
This article examines the rise of the ‘project class’ in Central and Eastern Europe, linking it to the emerging rural development agenda, driven principally by the demands of EU accession. The emphasis on ‘projects’ in rural development, the demand for local expertise and the mobilisation of social capital are, it is argued, contributing to a restructuring of local power and the emergence of a new ‘project class’. Drawing upon fieldwork in Hungar…
Leader, a New Social Order, and the Central- and East-European Countries
The paper considers the relevance of leader to the context of the ceecs and, in particular, to Hungary. The main argument is that the leader approach represents one of the most likely paths for socio-economic development. The theoretical approach of paper adopts political economy and actor network theory to conceptualize leader as a move from direct intervention towards a new indirect regime of market relations interpreting leader as participativ…
