The Political Economy of State-Society Relations in Hungary and Poland

Beschreibung

Hungary and Poland led the transformations that brought down Communism: Hungary through economic reform, Poland through political struggle. Seleny shows how these changes were possible in authoritarian regimes as, over time, state and society became mutually vulnerable, neither fully able to dictate the terms of engagement. For Poland this meant principled confrontation; for Hungary, innovative accommodation. Different conceptual frameworks and strategies of persuasion, Seleny argues, account for these divergences in virtually identical institutional settings.
