Research Abstract |
Generally in the East European countries the medieval system of the local self-government was reformed to the modern one in the mid-19th century. The central authorities wanted to introduce centralized local administrations instead of the former decentralized systems. The regions resisted and tried to hold their traditional autonomies. These autonomies were eroded, when the local authorities could not control a variety of popular movements. In such a way the local self-government systems were closely conected with the popular movements based on the daily life of the local people. Therefore, in case of Studying the national, labor or peasants' movements in Eastern Europe, we should pay attention to their relations with the local self-governments. The local self-government systems introduced in the 19th century are now restoring in the East European countries after the collapse of the socialistic ex-systems. Noticing such a situation of the local self-governments, especially in view of an autonomy of the local people themselves, we should investigate the future of the reforms in Eastern Europe.
