An analysis of the changing aims, concepts, & methods of regional policy in post-WWII Hungary. Different phases of regional policy express the transition of the economic management system of the country from the centralized planning directives toward a decentralized mixed economy. In the 1950s, there was no regional policy; in the 1960s, it aimed at industrial decentralization; & in the 1970s, regional leveling of living conditions became the central target. In the 1980s, regional policy contributes to managing regional tensions resulting from the structural & technological changes of economy. Local (Ur & Ru) councils, as well as groups of citizens & individuals, play important roles in initiating & executing regional policy. 2 Photographs. AA
