FROM HUNGARIAN REVIEW, MAY 2011:
The real problems in the Arab world have little to do with Israel. Lack of education, of participation, of job perspectives, the profoundly unjust treatment of women and a general educational deficit that has nothing to do with Islam but rather with autocratic regimes fearful of an educated population — those have been the real problems all along,
BORIS KALNOKY
In the opinion of the present author ifin 1991 the European Community had adopted the principle of „special status" for the national minorities in the eastern half of Europe as one of the preconditions for European integration, most of the later conflicts, from Slovak-Hungarian tensions to the war in Georgia, could have been avoided.
GÉZA JESZENSZKY
It is not the Germans who are the problem. The problem is the mechanism of totalitarianism, in Germany and wherever such systems existed: the mechanism that is built upon the fragility of human convictions and behaviors.

AMBRUS MISKOLCZY
The two-thirds parliamentary majority gave the government an unusual responsibility, inevitably raising the question of amending the constitutional framework, a possibility created by the attainment of a two-thirds majority. The reform of the constitutional framework also figured in the political programme and vision for the future of the governing coalition. It must now use the power with which it has been invested.
FERENC MÁDL
Now, the problems with Greece in 2009 make it obvious that the Stability and Growth Pact, the Maastricht criteria of entry into Euro zone, and similar institutions have not worked sufficiently to fend off serious domestic policy failures within the EU.
PÉTER ÁKOS BOD
Professional economic policies, mobilizing the hard and the equally important soft factors of growth, such as trust, transparency, rule of law and innovative behavior, which is a function of the former, may work miracles. But they never come without a price, and never come quasi-automatically, without strategic management by the government.
