Ivan Szelenyi : Regional Management and Social Class : The Case of Eastern Europe.
This article concerns urbanization problems in Eastern Europe and the accompanying social conflicts. The social history of this process completes the binary typology proposed by Max Weber (who contrasted Western and Asiatic modes of urban and regional administration) by setting up Eastern Europe as an autonomous and intermediate type which is marked by underurbanization, the partial maintenance of industrial manpower in the countryside and the concentration in the state of the power to redistribute surpluses for investment in the infrastructure. The Russian revolution and the installation of socialist regimes have only continued and often reinforced these historical tendencies. Founding his argument on a series of empirical surveys that he made in Hungary during the last ten years, the author shows how the socialist administration of localities and regions engenders new social inequalities at the expense of underprivileged classes, localities and regions. These inequalities are measured by the unequal chances for getting housing or by variations of investments in the infrastructure ; they contribute toward forming a « new working class » with half-rural, half- industrialties.
