Washington, DC \u2013 The \u201cHungarian Review\u201d, the English-language affiliate of the bi-monthly journal Magyar Szemle, edited by Gyula Kodol\u00e1nyi and John O`Sullivan, has published its fifth 2014 issue.<\/p>\n

As the editors write in the editorial note,\u00a0\u201cthere is more than a touch of the political science seminar about this issue<\/em>.\u201d \u00a0The periodical discusses important topics as the nature of human rights in current international relations or the emerging dispute over the character of \u2018liberal democracy\u2019 in European politics. \u00a0Recently, the interpretation of liberal democracies got relevant in Hungarian politics, especially after Viktor Orb\u00e1n\u2019s speech in which he proposed the controversial concept of \u2018illiberal democracy\u2019 and caused furor, according to O\u2019Sullivan.\u00a0 In his introductory article,\u00a0Orb\u00e1n\u2019s Hungary: Image and Reality \u2013 Whose Democracy? Which Liberalism?\u00a0<\/em>he explains:<\/p>\n

“For the moment, however, all attention has been diverted from other questions to the Prime Minister\u2019s recent speech in which he seemingly repudiated liberal democracy and embraced what he called \u201cilliberal democracy\u201d as his favoured political system. \u00a0Those remarks were interpreted, not unreasonably, as a justification for a more authoritarian form of government. \u00a0They seemed to confirm the hostile critique of Orb\u00e1n that is current in the European Left. \u00a0And they added weight and force to all the other criticisms of him, his government and Hungary. \u00a0My own feeling when I read the speech was slightly different. \u00a0I was overcome by a feeling of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. \u00a0For I was an advisor to Margaret Thatcher when she made her famous remark \u2013 \u201cThere is no such thing as society\u201d \u2013 to a women\u2019s magazine. \u00a0I recall thinking that she would never escape from that remark or, rather, from a grotesque misunderstanding of that remark. \u00a0For that sentence meant the opposite of what it seemingly said when it was wrenched from context. \u00a0What she was saying was that society was not a \u201cthing\u201d \u2013 an abstract independent entity out there \u2013 but that it was composed of the ordinary men and women, and their families, and their various associations from churches to tennis clubs. \u00a0If \u201csociety\u201d was to take collective action, therefore, it would have to come ultimately from ordinary people, herself included, who would have to provide resources or themselves and for those less fortunate than themselves. \u00a0These explanatory thoughts were not the implications of her remark on society. \u00a0They were said quite clearly in the few sentences that followed it. But they were never quoted.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Referring to the economic evolution of the last two decades, this Review features P\u00e9ter \u00c1kos Bod, the economist\u2019s analysis, entitled Why There Was No Marshall Aid after 1990. \u00a0Quoting the author:<\/p>\n

\u201cTextbooks at the University of Economics in Budapest referred to East Germany (GDR) as one of the ten most powerful industrial nations of the world, on a par with South Korea. \u00a0Western analysts generally concurred. \u00a0The Soviet Union was considered, right up to its disintegration, as a highly industrialized country; although whether it was termed an advanced nation is another matter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As the editors write in the editorial note,\u00a0\u201cthere is more than a touch of the political science seminar about this issue.\u201d \u00a0The periodical discusses important topics as the nature of human rights in current international relations or the emerging dispute over the character of \u2018liberal democracy\u2019 in European politics. \u00a0Recently, the interpretation of liberal democracies got relevant in Hungarian politics, especially after Viktor Orb\u00e1n\u2019s speech in which he proposed the controversial concept of \u2018illiberal democracy\u2019 and caused furor, according to O\u2019Sullivan.\u00a0 In his introductory article,\u00a0Orb\u00e1n\u2019s Hungary: Image and Reality \u2013 Whose Democracy? Which Liberalism?\u00a0he explains: \"For the moment, however, all attention has been diverted from other questions to the Prime Minister\u2019s recent speech in which he seemingly repudiated liberal democracy and embraced what he called \u201cilliberal democracy\u201d as his favoured political system. \u00a0Those remarks were interpreted, not unreasonably, as a justification for a more authoritarian form of government. \u00a0They seemed to confirm the hostile critique of Orb\u00e1n that is current in the European Left. \u00a0And they added weight and force to all the other criticisms of him, his government and Hungary. \u00a0My own feeling when I read the speech was slightly different. \u00a0I was overcome by a feeling of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. \u00a0For I was an advisor to Margaret Thatcher when she made her famous remark \u2013 \u201cThere is no such thing as society\u201d \u2013 to a women\u2019s magazine. \u00a0I recall thinking that she would never escape from that remark or, rather, from a grotesque misunderstanding of that remark. \u00a0For that sentence meant the opposite of what it seemingly said when it was wrenched from context. \u00a0What she was saying was that society was not a \u201cthing\u201d \u2013 an abstract independent entity out there \u2013 but that it was composed of the ordinary men and women, and their families, and their various associations from churches to tennis clubs. \u00a0If \u201csociety\u201d was to take collective action, therefore, it would have to come ultimately from ordinary people, herself included, who would have to provide resources or themselves and for those less fortunate than themselves. \u00a0These explanatory thoughts were not the implications of her remark on society. \u00a0They were said quite clearly in the few sentences that followed it. But they were never quoted.\" The \u2018Current\u2019 section is continued by Christiaan Alting von Geusau\u2019s article,\u00a0Human Rights, History and Anthropology: Reorienting the Debate,\u00a0which is raising a similarly serious issue: \u201cIn the history of mankind, by far the most human rights abuses were and are in fact perpetrated by ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances \u2013 not by monsters, and despite international treaties.\u201d Referring to the economic evolution of the last two decades, this Review features P\u00e9ter \u00c1kos Bod, the economist\u2019s analysis, entitled Why There Was No Marshall Aid after 1990. \u00a0Quoting the author: \u201cTextbooks at the University of Economics in Budapest referred to East Germany (GDR) as one of the ten most powerful industrial nations of the world, on a par with South Korea. \u00a0Western analysts generally concurred. \u00a0The Soviet Union was considered, right up to its disintegration, as a highly industrialized country; although whether it was termed an advanced nation is another matter.\u201d G\u00e9za Jeszenszky\u2019s discussion on\u00a0Hungary, NATO and the War in Ukraine\u00a0completes the first section. Nicholas T. Parsons\u2019 essay on\u00a0Populism and the Failures of Democracy\u00a0is an interesting addition to the previous issues. The \u2018Histories\u2019 section comprises the article of Gyula Kodol\u00e1nyi:\u00a0August-September 1944 \u2013 A mosaic selected from diaries, memoirs and histories III.;\u00a0Attila Bal\u00e1zs:\u00a0Socks on the Chandelier, Lives by a Thread \u2013 (On Tibor V\u00e1rady\u2019s book by the same title, and a little about myself)\u00a0and Tibor V\u00e1rady:\u00a0Socks on the Chandelier, Lives by a Thread \u2013 File No. 12\u00a0198.\u00a0 And finally, this \u2018Arts and Letters\u2019 section is written by Clayton Eshleman and D\u00e1vid B\u00e1n.
