In Hungary, the Party Politburo decided as of January 1st, 1982, to legalize independent small business organizations. International factors with internal socio-economic effects contributed to a hastening in the decision-making process in favour of economic pragma-tism, and contrary to ideological principles. The current Hungarian experience constitutes a model for reformist changes proposed by Michael Gorbatchev in the Soviet Union. The socio-political effects of the Hungarian experience appear also in changes to the political culture. These changes, like the appearance of multiple candidates and political pluralism in elections raise the following question : without the reform of the soviet-type political regime, is it possible to reform the socio-economic System ?

The transition to a modem economy which promotes the transformation of the economic structure is necessary for Hungary to overcome its present crisis. The object of this article is to present the context in which the rapid evolution of the SMB sector is forcing the Hungarian economy toward an economic decentralization, both regional and political. The author presents the regional dimensions of the crisis by describing the principal elements which have influenced this crisis as well as the general economic context which makes economic reorganization difficult.Following a historical summary of the circumstances which lead to the formation of the entrepreneurial system, the author presents the different laws adopted by the state thus showing how the Hungarian economy rapidly changed its political and economic system to an industrial structure in which SMBs have become very important. Finally, the author explains how the localisation and territorial expansion of businesses is taking place in a way which is not equal from one region to the other.

ABSTRACTThe author describes changes in fertility in Hungary since the beginning of the century, in bringing out national particularities that have influenced variations in fertility indicators. He highlights the short- and long-term effects of certain government measures intended to modify behaviours related to fertility. In linking the main fertility trends to social changes, he focuses especially on the dernographic effects of the economic problems that followed the change of political regime. Based on the results of surveys, he then looks at changes in birth control practices and explores the relationship between contraception and fertility among young people. He goes on to present Hungarians' opinions, values and preferences in regard to children, marriage and the family. Finally, he examines the effectiveness of family policies in Europe in the context of a market economy.

The article highlights three historical turning points of particular relevance to Hungary. During the period between the two World Wars, Hungarian theaters endeavor to stage the local national ambitions through productions marked by strong political overtones. By the turn of the 1950s, the country adopted the Soviet political, economic and cultural model. The regime ideology then leads to reforms affecting the Hungarian theater life. Some years later (1954), theaters abandon the dictatorial power, hence during these years can we see that the theatrical life adapts to the political decisions guiding the country's domestic and foreign policies. In general, art associations are also granted more freedom, so authors and their drama, long neglected, are finding their way back to the stage.
