Utilizing a new and original framework for examining the role of
intellectuals in countries transitioning to democracy, Bozoki
analyses the rise and fall of dissident intellectuals in Hungary in
the late 20th century. He shows how that framework is applicable to
other countries too as he forensically examines their activities.
Bozoki argues that the Hungarian intellectuals did not become a
'New Class'. By rolling transition, he means an incremental,
non-violent, elite driven political transformation which is based
on the rotation of agency, and it results in a new regime. This is
led mainly by different groups of intellectuals who do not
construct a vanguard movement but create an open network which
might transform itself into different political parties. Their
roles changed from dissidents to reformers, to movement organizers
and negotiators through the periods of dissidence, open network
building, roundtable negotiations, parliamentary activities, and
new movement politics. Through the prism of political sociology,
the author focuses on the following questions: Who were the
dissident intellectuals and what did they want? Under what
conditions do intellectuals rebel and what are the patterns of
their protest? This book will be of interest to students,
researchers, and public intellectuals around the world aiming to
promote human rights and democracy.
