Abstract
When we search for the significant players of administrative sciences on both the domestic and
international level, we find – amongst others, amongst departments of universities, think-tanks
and committees of academies of sciences – also organisations that can be treated as parts of
civil society, especially scientific societies, particularly scientific associations. My current paper
deals exclusively with the latter ones (with scientific associations) and my main goal is to
enlist those functions that can be or even should be provided by our newly created Central and
Eastern European Society for Administrative Sciences.
To provide the catalogue, the elements of which are based on scientific evidence, my paper
covers a) the main roles of contemporary scientific associations; b) the general features of
Hungarian civil society; c) the names and main features of the contemporary scientific associations
in administrative sciences in Hungary; and d) also the results of an international survey
conducted among 142 representatives of administrative sciences of 18 countries in our region,
especially of those countries which were formerly socialist states.
And finally, with the help of these facts collected I aim to show, and offer some fairly new
possible functions to invent in the interest of our ’beloved’ Society.
