Political correctness
Civilian control
Illegal tank purchase
Recently the Hungarian ministry of defence bought one hundred tanks from the government of Belarus. The deal violated several items of the law. This is, however, not an isolated case, i.e. the citizens have no guarantees that similar violations do not happen in other areas.
The Euro-Atlantic package
The six-party agreement in the Hungarian parliament assumes that integration into the European Union and into NATO are the two sides of the same coin. The author claims, however, that regional specificities tell us to deconstruct this package, and deal separately not only with the two institutions but also with various components of the EU i.e. the common market, redistribution, and monetary union.
No. 28 | (Winter 1995)
The world of labour has many complex questions for social researchers. How persistent is the mass unemployment developed during the "economic transition"? Whether trade unions can play a role in forming the economic policy? What is the role of women labour in catching-up? Whether physical work will lose its relevance and so the traditional contradiction between capital and labour? Questions of popular interest but not properly answered from a scientific point of view can be listed for long. The current issue of Eszmélet cannot promise that its articles will answer the above questions thoroughly but at least will show reference points and the main lines of research that can lead to possible answers.
