“…Our analysis has revealed that the main sources of external financing in CEE are closely related to the EU. 15 Hungary (Szabó and Márkus 2015) and Poland greatly benefited from pre-accession funds, and EU funds available after the accession boosted the SE field. Right after the accession of ten new EU member states, 16 in 2004, SE initiatives were rapidly integrated into the ongoing EQUAL Community Initiative (2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008).…”

In the last two decades, the quest for a widely accepted definition of social enterprise has been a central issue in a great number of publications.The main objective of the International Comparative Social Enterprise Models (ICSEM) Project (on which this book is based) was to show that the social enterprise field would benefit much more from linking conceptualisation efforts to the huge diversity of social enterprises than from an additional and ambitious attempt at providing an encompassing definition. Starting from a hypothesis that could be termed "the impossibility of a unified definition", the ICSEM research strategy relied on bottom-up approaches to capture the social enterprise phenomenon in its local and national contexts. This strategy made it possible to take into account and give legitimacy to locally embedded approaches, while simultaneously allowing for the identification of major social enterprise models to delineate the field on common grounds at the international level.Social Enterprise in Central and Eastern Europe-the last volume in a series of four ICSEM-based books on social enterprise worldwide-will serve as a key reference and resource for teachers, researchers, students, experts, policymakers, journalists and others who want to acquire a broad understanding of the social enterprise and social entrepreneurship phenomena as they emerge and develop in this region.

“…Analysing the present situation and the effects of the hybrid regime on the civil sphere in Hungary, Szabó proposes the application of Ekiert and Kubik's framework, where the Hungarian civil society can be described by a corporatist, top-bottom structure, with low levels of organizational pluralism and participation (Szabó, 2015). On an organizational level elements of the Hungarian civil sphere according to Szabó and Márkus are etatism, a dependence on international grants and low levels of grassroots activity (Szabó & Márkus, 2015). Analysing the dynamics of protest activities, Ekiert and Kubik differentiate between contentious and accommodating types (Ekiert & Kubik, 2014).…”
