| Title | Unsustainable future-unsustainable past?: How Environmental Advocacy Prevails in the Hungarian Legislation After 1990 |
| Summary | One of the greatest challenges of today’s societies is to face the environmental crisis; and in order to advocate green interests, environmental issues have to be presented on many levels. The aim of this thesis is, to find out, how environmental advocacy is prevailed in the levels of the Hungarian public sphere, and how effective it was in the environmental policy making and the green civil society’s work from 1990 until the present days. While the current Hungarian Government has demolished the institutions of environment, green issues are still represented in the legislation as well as in the Hungarian green movement. The goal of thesis is to reveal, whether the retrogression of environmental advocacy is due to the current government’s policy or rather a part of the historical processes of Hungary. Due to the lack of literature of the Hungarian green advocacy after the period of 1990, the thesis is based on experimental researches and qualitative interview findings in order find out, whether the representation of environmental interests have always been unsustainable, or is it a new tendency in the history of Hungary. |
