title = "Re-building the polity: A comparative study of mayors in the Hungarian, Czech and Slovakian Republics",
abstract = "The political changes that are going on in East Europe since 1989 have incited a wide interest in several fields of political science. Comparative studies on transitions to democracy are popular and numerous, and fit into a wide, already existing literature. In this tradition, the emphasis is laid, almost exclusively, on studies of the central organs and institutions of government: the role of political leadership, the establishment of the new party systems, the working of the parliament, the performance of the new government, and so on. There is much less interest in the re-organisation of local political or public life. ",
