Descripción
In recent decades the Hungarian intelligentsia, both political and governmental, emphasised the
importance of higher education in socio-economic modernisation. At the same time, after nearly twenty years
of system-transition we have to see that the ambitious goals of reforms in many cases have been turned into their
opposite. This paper analyses the key actors and their strategies in the higher education system, highlighting the
most important obstacles to development based on a multi-actor strategy model, based on institutional economy
and principle-agent theory. The results show considerable divergence in force and interest-structure of different
actors. As a consequence of relationship of forces it has been shown that, without steadfast governmental
policy, long-term commitment for development and active participation of the business sector in innovation,
there seems to be only a rather limited possibility for upgrading the agricultural higher education system.
