- 요약Foreign foundations and democracy-promoting organizations from the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) played a crucial role in ending the one-party socialist state in Hungary, and in shaping the country's transition to democracy and capitalism. Organizations like the political party foundations from the FRG, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) of the US, and the privately funded Soros Foundation-Hungary were significant sources of funding for political, social and economic initiatives in socialist Hungary's later years and in the 1990s. They were foundational in the development of Hungary's political and civil society. My dissertation demonstrates how democracy promotion and aid for civil society contributed to the development of an anti-democratic civil society which would eventually undergird the authoritarian neoliberal regime of Viktor Orban and his Fidesz party. With some exceptions, aid from the US and FRG promoted elite and professional associations at the expense of larger member-based organizations that were viewed with suspicion as special interests, and in many cases aided groups with questionable democratic credentials. Furthermore, my study of the Soros Foundation-Hungary shows how its early approach of wide, ecumenical grant making helped establish the "polgari" organizations and think-tanks such as the Szazadveg Foundation which would later become cornerstones of Orban's regime. I argue that that recipients of Western aid did no so much drift away from democracy, than did Western aid organizations misapprehend Hungarian "polgari" politics and the relationship between civil society and democracy.
