Abstract

Twenty years after the political turn we could assume that the Hungarian cultural policy has changed a lot as more and more arm’s length aspects are being implemented into the system. The establishment of cultural funds and the decentralization of the resource allocation from the central government to the local governments are examples of this transition. But has this transition finished? Is there a transition by the roots or only at the peak of the iceberg? The paper’s aim is to try to find an answer for these questions through an analysis of Hungarian cultural policy, primarily the economic and social aspects. The paper concludes that the Hungarian cultural sector is too eclectic to be sustainable
