Title Transforming Hungarian Kin-minority in Transylvania
Summary The thesis explores the impact of the Hungarian government on the Transylvanian civil and political actors. The paper investigates four organizations: the Hungarian National Council of Transylvania (EMNT), the Hungarian People’s Party of Transylvania (EMNP), the Eurotrans Foundation and the Hungarian Democratic Alliance of Romania (RMDSZ).
The research examines the shift in the Transylvanian politics from being the members of the Romanian political community towards the extended Hungarian political community. The thesis argues that the autonomous claim-making of the civil and political organizations in Transylvania gradually decreases by the influence of the Hungarian government.
Relying on previous literature and the experiences of ethnographic observation the thesis builds up a framework which helps in deeper understanding of this mechanism. Analysis of the discursive shift in the politics of Transylvanian actors supports the argumentation.
