Metamorphoses of Power

In the present article the author aims to describe the characteristics and transformations of Hungary’s power structures from the actually existing socialism to our present days on the one hand, and to provide a brief analysis of the supremacy referred to as international ecofinancial superstructure, along with an insight into its most recent evolution and the consequences of the latter, on the other. The main idea of this article is that transformations of both nation states and of the global power structure are primarily catalysed by geo-political and geo-economic relations and changes. In light of the presence and influence of large, monopolistic commercial organisations, these power structures can be perceived as status groups disposing of class-like traits. After the global economic crisis breaking out in 2008, the status group like traits have become even more dominant. We can expect no change in this tendency in the foreseeable future.
