The Hungarian Model for Multiculturalism

Abstract

This paper focuses on two developments in post-2010 Hungary’s legal framework accommodating, or rather targeting multiculturalism: first, the adoption of a new citizenship law, which opens the door for all ethnic kins and provides non-resident voting rights, and second, following the path of an earlier controversial legislation and rhetoric on multiculturalism, the reconceptualization of the Roma as a national (and not an ethnic) minority community.
