Leading specialists analyze the manifestations of the current political regime in Hungary from twenty-five angles. Topics discussed include the ideology, constitutional issues, social policy, the judiciary, foreign relations, nationalism, media, memory politics, corruption, civil society, education, culture and so on. Beyond the basic features of the economy the domains of taxation, banking system, energy policies and the agriculture are treated in dedicated studies. The essays are based on detailed empirical investigation about conditions in today's Hungary. They nevertheless contribute to the exploration of the characteristic features of post-communist authoritarian regimes, shared by an increasing number of countries in Europe and Central Asia. 517 0 $a25 sides of a post-communist mafia state 606 $aDictatorship$zHungary$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aOrganized crime$zHungary$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aPolitical corruption$zHungary$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aPost-communism$zHungary$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aHungary$xPolitics and government$y1989- 610 $aConstitutions, Corruption, Political economy, Political philosophy, Political studies, Postcommunism. 615 0$aDictatorship$xHistory 615 0$aOrganized crime$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical corruption$xHistory 615 0$aPost-communism$xHistory 676 $a943.9054 702 $aVa?sa?rhelyi$b Ju?lia 702 $aMagyar$b Ba?lint 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812810703321 996 $aTwenty-five sides of a post-communist mafia state$93949473 997 $aUNINA
