From the supplier: A set of models and suggestions for the training of local government personnel in Hungary were presented. Private US foundations, international organizations and foreign countries are actively involved in technical assistance programs for local government training and development in Hungary. The models are concerned with problem solving, revised Fulbright scholarships and demonstration cities. Among the important suggestions discussed were that training should consider the Hungarian context and that American technical and economic models should not be used in training programs.

Product Description
E-Government in Hungary has been driven by the overarching national goal to integrate Hungary in the European Union. Strong political leadership has lead to results in a short space of time, including the online availability of 20 core e-government services benchmarked by the EU, as well as other transactional services. The review draws several important lessons from the Hungarian experience: Hungary has moved forward by adopting international good practices, rather than re-inventing the wheel. In order to continue progress, however, Hungary needs to focus on the bigger picture which means using e-government to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the public sector, i.e. better government, not more government. This review also identifies the challenges that Hungary will face in order to meet these new objectives.Table of Content :Assessments and proposals for action Chapter 1. Introduction Chapter 2.

From the supplier: The transition of Hungary from a socialist to a capitalist nation involves extensive privatization and decentralization of state-owned property. However, the government's tradition fiscal policy cannot cope with the changing demand of the public. US managerial techniques such as real estate taxation formulas and service delivery methods are cited as possible models for fiscal management in Hungary with the requisite adaptations performed.

From the author: According to reports on international competitiveness prepared by the Swiss-based International Institute for Management Development (IMD), since the year 2000, Taiwan has posted a less-than-ideal government efficiency ranking. While Taiwan was ranked 14 in 2000, that dropped to 24 in 2002 and had only improved to 18 by the end of 2004. As a country subject to intense competitive pressure, Taiwan is now fully committed to the processes of governmental reform that are sweeping the world.

Excerpt: This article is part of the series:Politics and government ofHungary The Constitution of the Republic of Hungary (A Magyar Köztársaság Alkotmánya), its fundamental law, was adopted on 20 August 1949, and heavily amended on 23 October 1989. It is the country's first and only permanent written constitution, and Hungary is the only former Eastern Bloc nation that did not adopt an entirely new constitution after the fall of Communism. The document contains a preamble and is divided into fifteen chapters with 79 articles. For centuries, the Hungarian constitution was unwritten, based upon customary law. There was no civil code either; lawyers worked with the Corpus Iuris Hungarici. Among the laws that acquired constitutional force were a series of liberal statutes enacted during the 1848 Revolution; Statute XII of 1867 (enacting the Ausgleich); and further guarantees for constitutionalism, such as Statute IV of 1869, separating the executive and the judiciary; or the post-1870 statutes regulating local self-government and state administration. Following the advent of the Hungarian Soviet Republic, the Revolutionary Governing Council adopted a Provisional Constitution on 2 April 1919, providing for a Soviet-style political system. On 23 June, the National Assembly of Allied Councils adopted Hungary's first charter-like constitution, the Constitution of the Socialist Allied Council Republic of Hungary. However, that regime was crushed two months later...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5602839 ... Read more

Product Description
The relatively peaceful and rapid collapse of Communism came as a great surprise to most, and the varied paths followed by the countries emerging from Communism has puzzled many. Ró:na-Tas argues that, under Communism, the central institution organizing society was universal state employment. Over time, universal state employment eroded and a weak private sector evolved, before Communism collapsed. This erosion is what the book calls the "Small Transformation." The Small Transformation was a process of fragmentation that slowly undid the concentration created in these societies by the process of socialist industrialization, the Great Transformation. The way the Small Transformation proceeded in different states is crucial in explaining differences in the way Communism collapsed and in the course the market economy is taking.
The book draws on an unusually wide array of sources including archival materials, statistical surveys, newspapers, and ethnographic materials, to demonstrate the unfolding of the Small Transformation in Hungary. Róna-Tas argues that the fall of Hungarian Communism took a negotiated course because Hungary's Small Transformation was sufficiently advanced to induce elite defection well before 1989. The book documents nomenklatura privatization and the social continuities and discontinuities of post-Communist Hungary. Its overall arguments are useful in understanding what has happened in other states.
This book will be of interest to scholars studying transformation in Communist societies, political economy, social change, revolutions and economic and social history, as well as to students of the politics and society of Eastern Europe.
Ákos Róna-Tas is Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of California at San Diego.
