130 Years of Catching up with the West: A Comparative Perspective of Hungarian Science and Technology Policy-Making since Industrialization

Biegelbauer (Institute for Advanced Studies, Vienna, Austria) analyzes the history and development of Hungarian science and technology systems, with comparison to Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. His approach is interdisciplinary and is based on the secondary analysis of existing quantitative data derived from research. The volume begins with discussion of the theoretical background, followed by the foundations and history of Hungary's science and technology, the first transition to the Soviet system, the second transition to the 1968 New Economic Mechanism, the third transition to capitalism, and present and future systems.
