Description
The term „democracy” is getting more and more important both in political discussions and in the
case of scientific research. The aim of the course is to introduce Lipset’s sociological analysis
which had a determinative effect on democracy research in the 1960’s. It examined the
institutional, social and structural requirements of stable democracy.

examined how new democracies evolve. The course deals with the transition of post-communist

the changes in the social order and culture. Democratic institutions make citizens able to make up
and speak out their preferences and have effect on political decisions.

Description
The course objective is to discuss Hungarian foreign policy strategies from 1990 until the
present day, both in terms of national and European aspirations. The 20th
century saw the birth
of numerous “small states” in Eastern and Southern regions of Europe. The numbers of
sovereign actors increased significantly in 1990s: 23 new states were born, while the German
state was reunified. The mosaic type, new political map a series of states were born out of what
were previously halted or delayed national identification efforts. The resulting structure meant
that earlier conflicts and differences of opinion between smaller nations were now elevated to
the level of foreign policy. As a result of the situation of Hungary, following 1989 we can
speak of a sort of “dual” foreign policy, in the sense that the incumbent government did not
only bear responsibility for Hungarians living within, but also those living beyond the borders.
The course will also discuss the important milestones of Hungary’s EU integration as well as
the role it plays within NATO.
