States are the result of cultural evolution. With this in mind, the book summarises
the research of five university professors on the development of European states,
with a special emphasis on the Hungarian state. The authors justify the thesis that
group and individual political interests have been and continue to be the driving
force behind the development of states, which are not independent of each other. According
to this view, in different historical periods, the assertion of interests by political
interest groups with similar patterns became a force that shaped public power and
the state. Exploring the group interests behind state development demystifies the
reference to “state interests” or “great power interests”, ideological, economic or
political values. The thesis of the research and the essays in this volume can shed
a different light on historical phenomena such as the transatlantic alliance, Europe,
the European Union or Central Europe. Further reflection on the book may also reveal
to the reader the real drivers of the political sovereignty disputes that are still
taking place today between international organisations and nation states.
