Summary

This lively collection of essays is a fine blend of political, social and cultural history, setting Hungary's development within the context of Central Europe as a whole and thus providing an important comparison with the development of other countries in the region. At the same time, through his exploration of historical trends, Professor Gero sheds valuable light on the processes of contemporary political and social thought.
