Abstract

Regions are an old concept in geography but new in common parlance in Hungary. Like districts, they are contiguous areas of land, but the basis of them is often not natural or historical, but provided by the administration of state. The official, legal division of Hungary into regions took place in the 1990s. The expression became widely known in Hungary because intra-state regions play a very strong role in the European Union (EU), where mention is often made of a ‘Europe of regions’ and efforts made to even the regional economic inequalities, including sizeable financial ones. In Hungary there have been debates about the concept and employment of regions, due to poor definition and uncertainty about the existence, borders and intra-state role of regions.
