The Fall and Rise of the State in Rural Romania and Hungary
Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2014, Vol 19, Issue 19
Abstract
This article argues that whilst demographic fluctuations and land privatisation raised concerns that the state had little influence over rural affairs in Central and Eastern Europe, recently, there have been signs of a more assertive and interventionist state. Focusing on policies that address the realities of an aging farming and rural population, this paper argues that the return of the state recognizes that land no longer ofers the same degree of security and that the transformation into a mixed and prosperous rural sector would require more direct action than suggested by the EU policy.
