Posted by For those less familiar with the state of things in Hungary, a range of items from Gábor Halmai, one of the national collaborators in this project, is collected here to provide context for the project interest in this case.

Gábor’s earlier writing on this is highlighted by entries on Verfassungsblog and EUI Blogs: Constitutionalism and Politics in relation to Hungary. So, for further background reading, see:
