{"product_id":"hungary-and-nato","title":"Hungary and NATO","description":"Since the revolutions of 1989-1990, most Central and Eastern European states have been striving to adhere to Euro-Atlantic institutions; and when NATO developed its own \"criteria\" for membership, democratic control of the military was considered an essential precondition. Based on firsthand participatory and observational insight, \u003ci\u003eHungary and NATO: Problems in Civil-Military Relations\u003c\/i\u003e closely follows Hungary's early work to secure an invitation to join the Alliance in July 1997, preparations for accession in March 1999, and its first four years as a NATO ally. While charting the successes, shortcomings, and continuing challenges faced in its quest to become a full NATO member, Jeffrey Simon presents a comprehensive and original study of civil-military relations in Hungary and simultaneously provides a conceptual framework of civil-military relations that draws upon the lessons of post-communist transition in the entire Central and East European region.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236336587096,"sku":"9780742528512","price":52.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780742528512_84a806a9-27f9-4542-af59-1298b43e8ecb.jpg?v=1769806832","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/hungary-and-nato","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
