Magyarism: A Bland Cult of Nationality?

Among other factors, the collapse of Soviet hegemony in Eastern Europe and growth of supra-national structures in Western Europe have led to a rise in ethnic nationalism. This has created keen interest in the nature and causes of nationalism not only in the West, but among Central European scholars and policymakers as well, who foresaw as early as 1985 that the beginnings of liberalization and reform in the Soviet Union might entail heightened national conflicts in East Central Europe (Glatz, xii). Two prominent Hungarian scholars, Ferenc Glatz, director of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and Gyorgy Csepeli, professor of social psychology at Eotvos Lorand University, have each produced books that should be required reading for policymakers and citizens alike in NATO countries of the West largely ignorant of Hungarian history, especially in the wake of the ethnic conflict in Kosovo and Hungary's recent entrance into the western alliance. These two books complement each other well and should be read consecutively, since Glatz provides a history of Hungary's nationality question (roughly from 1848 to 1948), while Csepeli's book is a sociological study of Hungarians' present-day views on nationalism. Both volumes are part of the Atlantic Studies on Society in Change series of books by Columbia University Press, which surveys many aspects of East Central European society. Most edited volumes tend to be somewhat uneven in their treatment of subject matter. Glatz's The Hungarians and Their Neighbors in Modem Times is a welcome exception. It contains 29 short essays tightly connected around four main themes: the ethnic composition and demographic trends in the Habsburg Empire; voluntary and involuntary assimilation; the relation of social classes to the nationality question; and changes in Hungarian nationalism over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Almost all the contributors are senior historians living in Hungary who have conducted multi-archive research. Glatz himself wrote six of the essays. Other scholars from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences include: Laszlo Katus, "Hungarians and National Minorities, a
