内容简介

This volume provides deep insight into the Hungarians based on a detailed description of their history through more than a thousand years. The volume reaches the conclusion that, despite the national feelings of the Hungarians towards themselves and their heritage, they have recently carried out an internal process of transition over Hungarian sovereignty, having decided to grant the EU and its institutions sovereignty in Hungary over the supreme institutions of the Hungarian state, including the Parliament and the Constitutional Court. They attributed themselves to the broad European group that is in the process of crystallizing within the European Union - perhaps very much - the formation of a Pan-European nation linked to its homeland, which is Europe. The Hungarians channeled their pride as Hungarians towards standing on the path they had built within the EU's domestic politics. The volume describes that during the period of the existence of the Soviet bloc in Eastern Europe, their Prime Minister, Kádár, the Communist-Hungarian leader who led them, was viewed by them as a person who protected Hungarian interests and character. Such preservation of Hungarian interests and character also existed during the Austro-Hungarian Empire period. For hundreds of years before the Turkish-Ottoman occupation, which lasted for 150 years, the Hungarians had been ruled by their own monarchy, of which the Hungarians were proud. Since their arrival in the Carpathian Basin at the end of the 9th century under the leadership of Árpád and the acceptance of Christianity by them towards the year 1000, the Hungarians experienced major national events, including the Mongol invasion of Hungary in 1241, in which half of all Hungarians were killed. Following this invasion and the devastating loss of life that took place, the Hungarians absorbed many Europeans, mainly from Germany, who then became Hungarians. The Hungarian peasantry's involvement in political events of the Hungarians began before the peasants' rebellion led by Dózsa in 1514. This created a Hungarian folk nationality - more than 300 years before the idea of ​​nationality emerged in Europe. This volume is authored by Dr. Yehuda Cohen, who has intensively studied 10 European groups in two series dealing with nationality and post-nationality in Europe; he presents the novel notion that one pan-European nationality may take the place of a national vacuum that has been created in Europe after national groups in continental Europe have become post-nationalities. The ten groups investigated by Dr. Cohen are the Germans, the French, the Spanish, the Italians, the British, the Dutch, the Poles, the Hungarians, the Bulgarians and the Swedes. Of all these, the British alone were found to keep their nationality and prefer it over their European affiliation; the British alone were thus expected to leave the EU (the volume on the British coming to that conclusion had been published in 2014, more than a year before the referendum about the Brexit). Dr. Cohen also recently published a book on Islam and Muslims in Europe.
