Oszkar Jaszi and the Cause of Nationalities
Institution:
Faculty of Letters "1 December 1918" University, Alba Iulia
Abstract:
The study deals with the specific role that the Hungarian democratic thinker Oszkar Jaszi's work had in the social, national and nationality policy of the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy in the first decade of the 20th century. After his sociological and political studies Jaszi also wrote about the nationality question which had to be reformed. His book, The Formation of Nation-States and the Nationality Question raised the sympathy of Romanians and other nationalities because Jaszi placed the nationality question in the context of human rights.
