Two new volumes of our researchers available for pre-order

The Evangelical Movement in the United States edited by our director, Balázs Mártonffy, and our researcher, Gábor Csizmazia is available at the Ludovika Press' website for pre-order.

"This volume explores the social, political, cultural, and theological aspects of the diverse and distinctive American evangelical movement, which is characterized by an extraordinary capacity for renewal and therefore remains the dominant and influential group of worldviews in America today. Its influence in shaping the political and social system, as well as the history and global relations of the United States is undeniable. Without it, the West in its current form would certainly not exist, while its role in the persistence of the Judeo-Christian value system remains crucial."

Moreover, Collision Courses: Hungary's Room for Manouvre amid the US-Chinese Hegemonic Competition edited by Balázs Mártonffy and our senior researcher, Tamás Magyarics is also available at Ludovika Press's dedicated site.

"The most important question of our time is no longer when the United States of America will find a competitor, as China has clearly grown into this role. Rather, it is how the rivalry between the two giants will develop. The rules of the post-WWII international order set by America seem to change, yet it is by no means inevitable that China will overtake the US. The latter still dominates as a nuclear superpower, and although its leadership and the indisputability of the “liberal world order” it promotes are increasingly questioned, America still has the greatest innovative and “soft” power along with much more allies and considerable experience in the international great power game. The aim of our book is to offer insight into the rivalry between these two giants. What are the drivers that could turn the competition between China and the United States into a conflict, and what can influence the outcome of such a contest? Complex questions demand complex answers. Through their analysis of aspects determining the trajectories of great power conflict, the authors attempt to draw conclusions that will also help understand Hungary’s room for maneuver in foreign policy.
