Sommario/riassunto

Based on a qualitative study of Hungary and its changing relationship to the 3 million ethnic Hungarians in neighbouring states, this book argues that it is not the ties of ethnicity, but the political interests of



kin-state elites that drives states in Eastern Europe to take action on behalf of ethnic kin in neighboring states.
