Hungary and the transition assignment

The theme of this assignment has been the subject of in depth analysis in the region, as witnessed also by a variety of NHDRs and regional reports. It is suggested that, in order to cope with as vast a subject as the one of this NHDR, you provide an overview of the process of transition and then focus in particular on the characteristics of the Hungarian transition and their impact on HD in a comparative perspective.

Discussing a framework to look at the transition might represent a useful starting point for the planning process of your team work. You might also find that making a schedule of what you would like to prepare and when might help you planning your team assignment as well as coordinating it with your individual assignments.

The materials provided should enable you to gather information on the general situation of the country, as well as on the specific elements of the transition, in the country and elsewhere, with which your report is concerned. The selection of materials covered does not aim however at being exhaustive, rather at providing you with pointers on the kind of issues discussed, the kind of actors involved, the processes taking place in the country.

You might use any other source of information from global reports and materials available in the reference unit to web resources to enrich your understanding of the different issues you chose to tackle. You might also want to visit QEH library. Remember also that you can do a search on ELDIS at http://www.eldis.org/ if you need more inspiration!

Please remember however to time your efforts appropriately. It is more important to deliver all the output you are required, even if based on a narrow informational basis whose shortfalls you might want to point to, than to collect vast amounts of new materials which you will not have the time to process.
