Summary/Abstract: The study examines the demographic processes of the four largest Hungarian populations outside the borders of the Hungarian state: those of Romania (Transylvania), Slovakia, Serbia (Vojvodina) and the Ukraine (Transcarpathia). It focuses primarily on recent demographic manifestations: (1) the natural dynamics of the analyzed populations, (2) international migration, and (3) assimilatory processes affecting Hungarian minority communities. The main aim of the study is making a comparison of these minority communities; yet the author also tries to analyze the demographic processes going on within these communities in socio-economic and political contexts, too, of the societies to which they belong (Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, the Ukraine).
