Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS 323 and human rights in Transylvania. In chapter 6, he shows how the popular dance- house movement, which featured "genuine" Hungarian dances from Transylvania, not only forced the state to recognize the authenticity of Hungarian traditions in Tran- sylvania, but also became a form of anti-Communist protest leading to the 1990 elec- toral victory of the populist Hungarian Democratic Forum. Kiirti believes that policymakers overlook the way ideas of freedom, democracy, human rights, territories, minorities, and national aspirations are intertwined in Cen- tral and Eastern Europe, but his work falls short of doing any more than illustrating the specific Hungarian case. His enlightening study of Hungarian attachment to Transylvania and his emphasis in chapter 7 on how the intense nationalist conflicts between Hungary and Romania in the early 1990s gave way to more conciliatory policies in the latter 1990s may inform European policymakers, but it will likely do little to alter integrationists' debates. He ignores the successes that nations such as France and Germany have had in subordinating regional conflicts to greater Euro- pean goals, and thus cannot address more fully the problems he envisions for the new reconfiguration of Europe.
