Summary/Abstract: Hungary has undergone a radical structural change following the collapse of the socialist bloc in Central and Eastern Europe. Two basic processes dominated the transition: privatization and decentralization. The Hungarian experience has shown that political decentralization of the state sector can make a significant contribution to efficient economic adjustments in a recession, in transition. Local governments under fiscal pressure, enjoying a wide autonomy of expenditure, have chosen the level and form of public service provision that resulted in major advantages at the macro level, as well as at the micro level.
