Description: There has been much discussion of changing attitudes in Eastern Europe with the universal rejection of Stalinist inefficiencies and an apparent willingness to embrace market-led capitalist economies. However, the debate has not always focussed in detail on the nature of political ideologies in these countries. This volume presents a sociological perspective on varying ideological beliefs in Hungary, including liberalism, socialism and nationalism, and assesses the extent to which current ideologies represent a break with the past. This key study also highlights the enormous emotional and intellectual shifts which people in Eastern Europe are having to undertake as they adapt to a radically altered political environment. The book will appeal to academics in Politics, International Relations and Sociology and those involved in research in these areas.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 119-120) and index.
