| Title | Cultural Policy in a Changing Regime. Characteristics of the Hungarian cultural policy leading up to the post-communist transition |
| Summary | The present thesis work looks at the post-communist transition through the lens of cultural policy. Building on the international context of a global turn towards neoliberal tendencies and marketisation in cultural policy, and the domestic context of concurrent directions argued by Fabry (2019), the present research aims to observe if the creative industries-focused cultural policies in the early 1980s in Hungary manifest characteristics that support the presence of market-oriented objectives. Following the archival research of a key sub-ministerial body within the Ministry of Culture, there is some evidence to suggest that major cultural policy decisions emphasised market-oriented approaches through Hungary’s presence in the international structure of film-making and distribution, and through an aim to reconfigure the Ministry’s role in domestic production and distribution. Crucially, the potential wider relevance of the present work is its support of the notion that ideas held about the 1989 change of regime and the post-communist transformation deserve to be revisited and questioned further. |
