He shows how that framework is applicable to other countries too as he forensically examines their activities. Bozóki argues that the Hungarian intellectuals did not become a ‘New Class’. By rolling transition, he means an incremental, non-violent, elite driven political transformation which is based on the rotation of agency, and it results in a new regime. This is led mainly by different groups of intellectuals who do not construct a vanguard movement but create an open network which might transform itself into different political parties. Their roles changed from dissidents to reformers, to movement organizers and negotiators through the periods of dissidence, open network building, roundtable negotiations, parliamentary activities, and new movement politics. Through the prism of political sociology, the author focuses on the following questions: Who were the dissident intellectuals and what did they want? Under what conditions do intellectuals rebel and what are the patterns of their protest? This book will be of interest to students, researchers, and public intellectuals around the world aiming to promote human rights and democracy. 2022-10-25T05:31:16Z 2022-10-25T05:31:16Z 2022 book 9789633864791 9789633864784 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/59036 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International external_content.pdf Central European University Press Central European University Press 10.7829/9789633864791 10.7829/9789633864791 5427f84f-0815-48ff-aac8-56f6200fccab CEU Press - Opening the future 9789633864791 9789633864784 Central European University Press open access
