(Jyväskylä Studies in Humanities ISSN 1459-4331; 165) ISBN 978-951-39-4560-2 (nid) ISBN 978-951-39-4561-9 (PDF) This doctoral dissertation explores the so-called ’liberation exhibitions’ (felszabadulási kiállítások) of state-socialist Hungary. The study focuses on six exhibitions in different museums of Budapest between the years 1960–1985, thus scrutinizing the ways in which the beginning of the state-socialist period was commemorated, and how the recent past, socialist present and the ultimate communist future were envisioned. In terms of theory, the study draws primar- ily on museum studies. The research material comprises heterogeneous exhibi- tion documentation: scripts, photos, memos, reports by party organs and con- temporary museological publications. Methodologically, the approach is crys- tallized in the notion of ’visiting the scripts’, which means the kind of reading that aims at re-creating an exhibitionary space that no longer exists. Further, the exhibitions are approached through the notion of the commemorative mem- brane, designated to explore the multiple tensions inherent in the public repre- sentations of the past, especially in a totalitarian context. The aforementioned tensions are conceived of in terms of narrative, mimetic and discursive tensions. Accordingly, the exhibitions are approached as (heritage) narratives that pro- jected “the road of socialism”, as mimetic fragments embodying specific truth claims and as discursive formations embedded in the context of ‘socialist muse- ology’. The study shows that while the original role of the exhibitions remained the same, their contents manifested a shift in focus from political history to as- pects of culture and lifestyle. The exhibition narratives became looser and more aware of their multiple layers of meaning. In their visual appearance, the exhi- bitions often reflected the dividedness informed by the Cold War and colonial power relations. In terms of commemorative genre, the study reveals that the exhibitions had to reconcile numerous, often contradictory expectations. This study suggests that the liberation exhibitions of state-socialist Hungary may be regarded as a paradigmatic case of ’socialist museology’. The exhibitions reflect the ways a ‘soft dictatorship’ sought to represent itself as a modern socialist welfare state. At the same time, the research setting prompts further questions regarding the role of changing interpretative contexts. Keywords: commemorative genre, commemorative membrane, exhibition, Hungary, ideology, liberation, mimesis, museology, narrative, socialism.

It has been touching to witness the good will of the numerous people and institutions that have shown an interest towards my work and guided and supported my study. This is especially true of the staff of several museums in Budapest: the National Museum, the Museum of Ethnography, Kunsthalle (MĬcsarnok), Budapest History Museum and the Museum of Mili- tary History. This study would have not been possible without the persistent advice and insights of Anna Bartó Halmi at the Historical Documentation De- partment of the National Museum. I am grateful to Zsófia Frazon and Anna Czékmány for stimulating discussions and the way they consistently involved me in their networks of museum discourse. My study has several academic homes, the most important of them being Hungarian Studies, The Research Centre for Contemporary Culture, and Muse- um Studies all at the University of Jyväskylä. I thank my supervisor Tuomo Lahdelma for his advice and support, and my colleague Kristóf Fenyvesi for being a sidekick in virtually everything. I also thank Erkki Vainikkala and Janne Vilkuna for providing discussion forums in their seminars. I am grateful to Anssi Halmesvirta, Tuija Saresma, Katalin Miklóssy and the members of the “Cult, Community, Identity” research group for their valuable comments and exchange of thoughts. The constructive criticism my reviewers Gábor Gyáni and Urpo Kovala provided my work, has been plentiful. I cordially thank all those institutions that have provided financial support. Apart from working in the “Cult, Community, Identity” project funded by the Academy of Finland, I have received grants from the Finnish Cultural Founda- tion, The Kone Foundation, Hungarian Studies and the Department of Art and Culture Studies of the University of Jyväskylä. Several study and conference visits to Hungary have been enabled with the support by the Hungarian Acad- emy of Sciences. My “inmates” Eeva Rohas, Tuulia Toivanen and Anna Pehkoranta have shared with me the everyday excitement and absurdities of doing research and I thank them for that. I thank Anna-Leena Toivanen, not only for her insightful comments on my texts, but also for her being there. To Markku Nivalainen I am grateful for his ruthless criticism of each and every order (existing and non- existent). I thank Katri Kluukeri and Ágnes Pasztercsák for keeping me sane. I am fortunate to have a family and friends who firmly believe in me. I want to thank my mother for sharing her lucid dreams, my father for his fa- mous “flexible solutions” and my sister for all the “sisterhood things” imagined and realized. My husband, Béla, I thank for his productive leaps of faith and his infinite patience; my daughters Léda and Lia I thank for their leaps of fantasy and infinite impatience. I dedicate this dissertation to the memory of my grandparents.

This policy aims at the strengthening and development of the state system and the protection of the national interests of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan builds its foreign policy on the principle of respect to the international legal standards and norms, the state sovereignty and territorial integrity and the principles of nonintervention into the internal affairs. The foreign policy of Azerbaijan, adhering to these principles and speaking on behalf of the national interests targets such urgent issues as the risks and challenges to the national security and territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of the republic and the prevention of the intervention of the Republic of Armenia. The major priorities of the foreign policy of Azerbaijan are the establishment of the regional peace and stability, the implementation of large transport and cooperation projects. The attraction of the foreign capital to the implementation of different projects on the development of the country's economics for more effective protection of the national interests plays a great role in the foreign policy of Azerbaijan in the present-day world.

  • Italy's Atlanticism Between Foreign and Internal
    UNISCI Discussion Papers, Nº 25 (January / Enero 2011) ISSN 1696-2206 ITALY’S ATLANTICISM BETWEEN FOREIGN AND INTERNAL POLITICS Massimo de Leonardis 1 Catholic University of the Sacred Heart Abstract: In spite of being a defeated country in the Second World War, Italy was a founding member of the Atlantic Alliance, because the USA highly valued her strategic importance and wished to assure her political stability. After 1955, Italy tried to advocate the Alliance’s role in the Near East and in Mediterranean Africa. The Suez crisis offered Italy the opportunity to forge closer ties with Washington at the same time appearing progressive and friendly to the Arabs in the Mediterranean, where she tried to be a protagonist vis a vis the so called neo- Atlanticism. This link with Washington was also instrumental to neutralize General De Gaulle’s ambitions of an Anglo-French-American directorate. The main issues of Italy’s Atlantic policy in the first years of “centre-left” coalitions, between 1962 and 1968, were the removal of the Jupiter missiles from Italy as a result of the Cuban missile crisis, French policy towards NATO and the EEC, Multilateral [nuclear] Force [MLF] and the revision of the Alliance’ strategy from “massive retaliation” to “flexible response”. On all these issues the Italian government was consonant with the United States. After the period of the late Sixties and Seventies when political instability, terrorism and high inflation undermined the Italian role in international relations, the decision in 1979 to accept the Euromissiles was a landmark in the history of Italian participation to NATO.

It compares and contrasts the politics of debt accumulation in Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, and Japan since the 1970s to identify factors that differentiate coun- tries that accumulated dangerous amounts of debt from those that kept their debt under control. It challenges the received wisdom that per- sistent borrowing reflects the recklessness of governments who indebt their countries in order to please their voters in the short term. The book documents that policy makers invariably initiate painful adjust- ment measures to correct budgetary imbalances when debt grows at an alarming rate for several years in a row, but the success of adjustment attempts depends on the degree of social support for the spending cuts and/or tax increases proposed. In countries where existing fiscal policies generate intense conflicts of vested interests, mustering the necessary social consensus
