RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Hungría y la Unión Europea (1989- 2019). En torno de un proceso de treinta años A1 Szilágyi, István A2 Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid AB On May 2004, eight post-socialist countries (the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary and Latvia) became full members of the European Union. The negotiations for accession to the European Union of these countries –and with them, the Hungarian accession– started in 1998 in Brussels and ended in December 2002 in Copenhagen with the signing of the Act Relative to the Conditions of Accession and the Adjustments of the Treaties of the European Union. The fifth enlargement of the European Union, this time to the East, became a priority in the agenda of the Union on the second half of the nineties, but its system of more general political conditions was conditioned by the changes in international relations generated by the disappearance of the bipolar world system and the collapse of real socialism. This article will examine the background and the external and internal conditions of the accession of Hungary to the European Union; will address the political and constitutional implications of accession for Hungary; will analyze the country's global integration into the European Union institutions and policies; will try to explain the Hungarian contribution to the strengthening of European integration; and will finally address issues of democratic deficit and the role played by Hungary in the European Union.
