摘要:My study provides a preliminary review on the process of social transition in Hungary as reflected through changes in social stratification and social mobility, according to theoretical and empirical research published in Szociol¨®giai Szemle (Review of Sociology), the journal of the Hungarian Sociological Association. I consider that the stratification studies show several very specific dimensions of social transition, presenting the evolution of these processes in transitional societies as well as its effects. The main aim of this study is to present the conceptualizations and results of the research and studies which contributed to a better understanding of the transitional processes in Central and Eastern Europe. In my opinion, Hungarian sociology was better prepared to reflect and analyze the social aspects of the transition than the social sciences of the other countries in this part of Europe. The main argument of this statement is that the starting theory of the market transition elaborated by Nee (1989) builds its conceptual framework on the findings and results of Hungarian social scientists like Pol¨¢nyi, Szel¨¦nyi and Kornai
