About

Many changes involving the Hungarian legal system have occurred—the most apparent being the new Basic Law.

The constitutional framework of Hungary has become an important and  topical issue  throughout Europe and the European Union. Several institutional solutions of the new constitution have been debated by international organisations and although such interest from foreign jurisdictions in a national constitution is unusual the  new Basic Law of Hungary does provide for some unusual solutions in its own right.

This book attempts to give a general overview on the state of Hungarian constitutional law with special regard to the Basic Law

This book  will be useful for theorists both abroad and in Hungary, and for everybody seeking information on Hungarian constitutionalism.
