The aim of this article is to present an outline of Péter Koháry’s life (1564–1632) and his correspondence, as well as other sources of his life and with the help of them to show his role in Habsburg–Ottoman diplomatic affairs and in the Hungarian military administration. More precisely, this article aims at summarising the main steps of his life and showing the partial results of the collection of his correspondence (e.g. elaboration of these letters and their quantitative analysis, the most important parts of Koháry’s network of relations).

Reflecting to the article of Péter Juhász concerning the Kabar–Hungarian relations this study deals with the connection of these people from the aspect of the concept of prestige. Although I consider the topic relevant, I debate some statements of Juhász, with which he wants to prove the greater prestige of the Kabars and their higher position in the Hungarian tribal union than so far attributed to them by former research regarding them as military auxiliary people. I also criticize the conclusions of Juhász in terms of content and methodology. I doubt his arguments as well about the critical interpretation of Jenő Szűcs on the bilingualism of the Hungarians and Kabars. I would like to make a contribution to the idea of “prestige” with this study and as well as to the use of the work (De administrando imperio) of Emperor Constantine Por-phyrogennate as a source. In my summary I also emphasize the importance of scholarly debates in the research of Hungarian prehistory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study deals with the problem of the prestige and bilingualism presented through the Hungarian-Kabar cohabitation. The interpretation of the role of the Kabars as an auxiliary people of the 9-10th centuries Hungarian Tribal Alliance is generally accepted in Hungarian research. Therefore researchers did not calculate with the significant role of the language of Kabars in the loaning of the Turkish elements of the Hungarian language. It seems contradict this the 39th chapters of the 10th century De Administrando Imperio, which tells about the mutual bilingualism of the Turks (Magyars) and the Kabars. This is the single written source of the probable Turkish-Hungarian bilingualism, which is presumed by the Hungarian language history. So, the subordinated position of the Kabars in the Hungarian Tribal Alliance cannot be considered a certain fact. The establishment of the Hungarian Nomadic State was initiated by the Khazar khagan, by nominating the first Hungarian prince. This process is connected with the joining of the powerful Kabars, who seceded from the Khazars. After the joining of the Kabars, the double kingship was established among the Hungarians. The titles of the princes of the Hungarians, K.nd.h (kündü) and the G.l.h (gyula) are probably of Khazar origin. In addition to these, in the 10th century Hungarian terminology of the state and the conception of state life, a serious Khazar influence can be observed. All these phenomena could be a result of nearly a century long Hungarian-Kabar cohabitation, but not the result of the just three years long Khazar-Hungarian cooperation. Therefore, it is necessary to accept the story of DAI presenting the significance of the Kabars among the Hungarians. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Differences may be observed between the levels of development in the HR practices of different Eastern European countries. In these countries; the characteristics of modern HR within the framework of their previous systems were only present in traces. Typically; approaches similar to the school of scientific management were predominant. In the transition states of Eastern Europe; HR - similarly to other management fields - has either been transformed already or is in the process of transformation. Head-count reduction is considered as one of the first critical HR related assignment. Due to different sources, local HR professionals have used more human approaches than their Western counter partners. Multinational companies have redrawn the labor market maps of the former socialist countries. As a result of the changes that have taken place; various flexible employment solutions have appeared, and new, different, forms of communication with employees have been developed. This article will familiarize the reader with unique features of HR development in 10 different Eastern European countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
