Rendszervlts / Mink Andrs (Osiris Kiad, 2018) /HardcoverUPC:9789632763002MPN:OSI-2018-RENDSZERVBrand Name:Osiris KiadOverviewMink Andrs:Rendszervlts(Regime Change) is a major historical study of the political, social, and intellectual transformations that took place inCentral and Eastern Europe between 1987 and 1990 years that ended four decades of communist rule and ushered in the era of democratic pluralism.Drawing on extensive archival research, contemporary political writings, and human rights discourse, Mink shows how the communist regimesmoral and ideological exhaustionbecame the catalyst for peaceful transitions. The book illuminates howthe Helsinki human rights frameworkundermined the legitimacy of the totalitarian state by exposing its inability to fulfill its own promises of justice, welfare, and equality.More than a narrative of political collapse,Rendszervltsis an intellectual history of freedom: the story of how Eastern Europes dissidents from Budapest to Warsaw and Prague redefined opposition through human rights, civic activism, and moral renewal.Published byOsiris Kiad, this 724-page scholarly volume offers one of the most comprehensive Hungarian analyses of the post-communist transformation, combining historical rigor with a nuanced grasp of political philosophy and ethics.ttekints (Hungarian Translation)Mink Andrsmonumentlis ktete,Rendszervlts, akelet- s kzp-eurpai rendszervltozsoktrtnett, intellektulis s erklcsi httert vizsglja.
