The Hungarian city has set itself up to attract innovative companies, creating new urban values such as education-based innovation, a high-quality urban environment and a lively cultural sphere. Here’s how a “secondary city” builds on its industrial past even as it breaks away from its dependence on it. Győr is a Hungarian “secondary city” close to Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest. These three capital cities attract most of the development potential in the area, making it difficult for smaller cities such as Győr to attract the headquarters of international companies or to develop large-scale new urban areas. Győr’s response has been to focus on “smart specialisation” in line with its broader innovation-based development concept.

  • Adrienn Marschal Labor Camps in Komárom-Esztergom County Csolnok, Oroszlány, Tatabánya Theses 2016
    Pázmány Péter Catholic University Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Doctoral School of History Science Leader of Doctoral School: dr. Ida Fröhlich Dsc. Economic, - Region and Political history workshop, Leader of workshop: dr. István Berényi Dsc. Consultant: dr. Sándor M. Kiss professor emeritus Adrienn Marschal Labor camps in Komárom-Esztergom County Csolnok, Oroszlány, Tatabánya Theses 2016. Adrienn Marschal – Labor camps in Komárom-Esztergom County Theses I. Research assignment, topic choosing I have chosen the history of the Hungarian labor camps between 1952 and 1956 as the topic of my thesis work, because the Hungarian labor camps are not well known after 1953, yet most of the people think these camps were closed in 1953. I have focused on the history of the three camps existed in Komárom- Esztergom county: Csolnok, Oroszlány and Tatabánya. This choice was reasoned not only by their geographic location, but by their intertwined history as well: all the three camps served mining and they often exchanged prisoners whose fate strongly connected in the events of the 1956 revolution, especially in the actions of the so-called miner brigade. Among the four types of camps established in Hungary, books were published primarily about the internment camps, Recsk and Tiszalök: firstly reminiscences and later scientific works as well. Namely, the history of Recsk appears in the reminiscences of Sándor Erdey, Zoltán Sztáray, Zoltán Nyeste, György Faludy, and summarized in the works of Géza Böszörményi and Barbara Bank. Whereas, the camp in Tiszalök was explored by Miklós Görbedi. Several books investigated the other two types of the camps, the displaced persons camp, and the prisoner-of-war camp, written by Zsuzsa Hantó, Kinga Széhenyi, József Saád, Zalán Bognár and others, including reminiscences and a book of interviews as well.

  • Social and Economic Relationships in the History of the Central- -European Region
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ELECTRA - Electronic Archive of the Institute for Regional Studies, Centre for Economic and Regional Studies, Hungarian Academy of Sciences Andrea USZKAI Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Institute for Regional Studies Centre for Economic and Regional Studies, Pécs, HUNGARY No. 12 SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIPS IN THE HISTORY OF THE CENTRAL- -EUROPEAN REGION 1. INTRODUCTION The main objective of this paper is to overview the history of more border- lands in the core region of Central Europe. This topic is obviously a very wide one, therefore some restrictions need to be applied. The focus is on those 20th century historical events, which could determine the current situation in social and economic relationships between the several border regions in Central Europe. The paper highlights the most typical features of the given border regions in the past and today. It is not an attempt at deep analysis, as its aim is to overview the 20th-century history of the borders in question and investigate the social and economic processes, including those factors which describe the cross-border interactions and relationships. The first part highlights the difficulty in delineation of ‘Central Europe’ and discusses two different approaches to doing this. The first one is based on an empirical research; the second one comes from a concept of a European cross- border project. The second part summarises the main characteristics of several historical and present-day relationships at the borders of the Centrope region, with a special regard to the everyday movements, such as cross-border com- muting and other labour market processes.
