  • The Political Economy of Illiberalism
    The Political Economy of Illiberalism: A Relational Class Analysis of the Tensions between Capitalism and Democracy in Hungary Gabor Scheiring Abstract Using the strategic case of Hungary the article presents a relational political economy of illiberalism. Reorienting the scholarship on democracy and capitalism the article focuses on how the post-socialist dependent capitalism institutionalised in Hungary affected the chance of reaching democratic consolidation. Using a mixed method process tracing framework, analysing macro-social data on the erosion of the social base of democratic legitimacy, presenting a quantitative content analysis of policy elite members’ biographies as well as three case studies the article analyses two interrelated dimensions of the exhaustion of dependent development. First, the study analyses how the collapse of the social structures of legitimation in the liberal transition regime led to the rightward turn of the working middle class as a necessary but not sufficient condition of the illiberal break-through. Second, the article demonstrates how the polarisation of the economic elite and the growing frustration of the national capitalist class contributed to the illiberal breakthrough. The results demonstrate the different class composition of left and right wing governments as well as how the national bourgeoisie uses the illiberal state to further its own accelerated capital accumulation. The most important theoretical implication of the article is that the social theory of illiberalism has to account both for the tensions among the working middle class and among the economic elites as interrelated processes. Ultimately the paper contributes to re-evaluating the relationship between capitalism and democracy pointing out structural tensions conducive to illiberalism.

Th e analysis and interpretations contained in the report are those o f the author . ti . EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The study assesses Hungary's 25-year experience (1965-1989) with economic an d political reforms ; analyzes the country's early experience (April 1990-April 1991) wit h political and economic transformation; attempts to predict how further transformation wil l proceed to the year 2000; draws lessons from Hungary's systemic changes ; and notes th e implications of the research findings for public policy . Despite more than 20 years of reforms, in the late 1980s Hungary found itself on the brink of an economic and political crisis. What factors explain this ? Although reforms yielded certain positive achievements, the fundamental and mutually reinforcing problems that remained were these: Ill-defined ownership, no market for the factors of production, weak financial discipline on enterprises and for the state budget, n o clear criteria for investment decisions other than the interests of the lobbies (partly a consequence of the ill-defined ownership structure), exceedingly heavy taxation, and a n incredibly complex and continually changing system of administrative and financial regulation that tried, unsuccessfully, to reconcile a series of incompatible objectives, strategies, an d system features .

  • Cohesion Policy and Perceptions of the European Union in Hungary
    CELINE CANTAT Cohesion Policy and Perceptions of the European Union in Hungary A Cultural Political Economy Approach 2017/8 WORKING PAPER SERIES ABOUT THE PROJECT This study was prepared in the framework of the project “The Impact of Cohesion Policy on EU Identification - COHESIFY” (http://www.cohesify.eu). COHESIFY is a research project funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 Program (Grant Agreement nº 693427), running from February 2016 through April 2018. The project investigates whether the performance of the EU’s flagship development policy – Cohesion Policy - influences how people see the EU. The project compares regions in ten countries in the EU to test the importance of the visibility in spending, the extent of local control over selecting priorities and beneficiaries, the significance of political affiliations and the impact of weak performance such as the low absorption rates. The project compares the positions of insiders, such as program designers and administrators, with applicants and beneficiaries, such as local authorities, private companies and civic groups. These attitudes are compared with the views of the general public in the respective regions. These views are gathered through analysis of national and local media reports, social media discussions, and complemented with representative surveys, interviews and focus groups. This paper explores the ways in which a range of actors became involved in negotiating and implementing cohesion funds in Hungary during the two project periods of 2007-13 and 2014-20. ABOUT THE PAPER SERIES Working Papers reflect the on-going work of academic staff members and researchers associated with the Center for Policy Studies/CEU.

  • Export and Import Products Groups' Shares of Turkey
    Asian Economic and Financial Review, 2013, 3(11):1419-1438 Asian Economic and Financial Review journal homepage: http://aessweb.com/journal-detail.php?id=5002 EXPORT AND IMPORT PRODUCTS GROUPS’ SHARES OF TURKEY WITH CEE COUNTRIES AFTER THEIRS ACCESSIONS TO EU AND BEFORE Selim Inançlı Department of Economics, Sakarya University, Adapazarı, Turkey Mustafa Akal Department of Economics, Sakarya University, Adapazarı, Turkey ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze export and import shares of main products of CEE countries with Turkey before their membership to EU and then, starting from the year of 2000. After accession to EU, these countries’ export and import shares mostly increased with Turkey and EU, implying existence of trade diversion and specialization in production. It is analyzed that the largest share of Turkish export product groups in trading with CEE countries are “manufactured industrial products” and “machinery, transport equipments” within both periods. Turkey’s largest share of import products groups from these countries are “manufactured industrial product”, “chemicals and chemical products” and “crude materials, inedible, except fuels”. Because of producing similar goods at different qualities, intra-industry trade exists largely between CEE countries and Turkey. These countries usually produce industrial products accounting for more than 50% of total trade with Turkey. Keywords: CEE countries, Turkey, EU membership, Group products’ foreign trade.

HUNGARIAN-TURKISH RELATIONS AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR Ali Sarikaya Abstract: This article tries to reveal political and economic relations between Hungary and Turkey after 1990. In terms of geography, Hungary lies in the heart of Europe and Turkey is located in Anatolia, where it connects Africa, Europe and Middle East to each other. That’s why both countries are the balance between Europe and Asia. Both countries have a common, deep-rooted history. The relationship of Turkish and Hungarian people is based on a long and traditional friendship. The Hungarian and Turkish states came face to face with each other many times in the different periods of history. In different periods, both countries suffered the same fate politically and economically. After a regime change in 1989 in Hungary, the political and economic relations between both countries developed rapidly.

  • The Economic Contribution of Copyright-Based Industries in Hungary
    The Economic Contribution of Copyright-Based Industries in Hungary Creative Industries Series No. 1 WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ORGANIZATION The Economic Contribution of Copyright-Based Industries in Hungary THE 2005 REPORT COPYRIGHTS INDUSTRIES THE HUNGARIAN REPORT November 2005 Budapest THE HUNGARIAN REPORT COPYRIGHTS INDUSTRIES Authors Dr. Krisztina Penyigey, Hungarian Patent Office, Chapter I, III, IV, V, VI, VII. Dr. Péter Munkácsi, Hungarian Patent Office, Chapter II. I. Introduction 1. International surveys Being the first researcher to study the economic aspects of copyright law in detail, it was Arnold Plant1 who laid down the foundations of the economics of copyright law. In addition to theoretical arguments2 addressing the relationship between copyright and economics, the studies and researches launched in the second half of the 20th century also focused on quantifying the economic contribution and significance of copyright based industries. The first studies were published in Canada and Sweden in the 1970s to be followed by further research works from the USA, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Holland, Germany, and Austria in the 1980s.3 These analyses allowed for plenty of methodological considerations due to a lack of standard applicable methodology. Ever since the 1990s new countries (Finland, Japan, the MERCOSUR countries – Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay – and Chile)4 have been arriving on the scene preparing comprehensive studies and using an increasingly integrated standardised methodology to study the economic roles of copyright based industries. The analysis of the EU countries was prepared with the coordination and under the guidance of Robert Picard, Timo Toivonen, and Mikko Grönlund in 2003.5 Consistently adopting the methodology defined by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the Singapore, Canada, and USA reports were published in 2004, as well as the Latvian report6 in early 2005, prepared by renowned experts like Robert Picard and Timo Toivonen.
