The Transition to Democracy in Hungary: Árpád Göncz and the Post-Communist Hungarian Presidency

Dae Soon Kim

4.9/5 (21903 ratings)

Description:Unlike in other countries of Eastern Europe where the opposition to communism came in the form of single mass movements led by charismatic leaders such as V�clav Havel and Lech Walęsa, in Hungary the opposition was very fragmented, brought together and made effective only by the authoritative, significant but relatively unknown �rp�d G�ncz, who subsequently became Hungary's first post-communist president.This book charts the political career of �rp�d G�ncz, outlining the outstanding contribution he made to Hungary's transition to democracy. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including archives and interviews with G�ncz himself and others, it shows how G�ncz, unlike Havel who was a playwright and whose political role was largely symbolic, was a campaigning politician all his life, consistently advocating social democratic, but not communist, values. Imprisoned from 1956 for his participation in the 1956 uprising, G�ncz was a highly-effective political operator in the transition period around 1989, and as president wielded real power effectively. As politics in Hungary are again marred by deep division and fragmentation, G�ncz's success in bringing rival groups together is even more pronounced.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
