Disciplining the “Second World”: the relationship between transnational and local forces in contemporary Hungarian women's social movements.
Fábián, Katalin
During the past 20 years, Hungarian women's movements have been increasingly reaching out to their transnational counterparts for inspiration and support. The activists' growing exposure at the transnational level has profoundly affected the thematic foci that they select for mobilization. Generational and information-technology changes have both added to the increasing focus of Hungarian women's organizations on domestic violence. Such a shift has channeled attention away from welfare-related issues for the sake of resonance and transnational support. This article investigates these trends and changes, suggests reasons for their emergence, and addresses their implications.
