The history of environmental Turanism in the Pannonian basin in the early twentieth century

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

AbstractThis study examines the rise and decline of Environmental Turanism as a counter-narrative to Western models of environmental modernization in interwar Hungary. Environmental Turanism emerged in the wake of the Treaty of Trianon (1920), which left deep social and political scars, and offered an alternative vision rooted in Eurasian cultural affinities and the steppe ecologies of the Pannonian Basin. It challenged the prevailing paradigm of large-scale landscape engineering—such as river regulation and land reclamation—which, despite their promise of development, often resulted in ecological degradation, including soil desiccation and vulnerability to drought. By blending romantic nationalism, traditional ecological knowledge, and holistic landscape science, Environmental Turanism articulated a symbiotic framework that resisted the dualism of humans versus nature dominant in Western discourse. Yet Environmental Turanism never established a firm institutional foothold in Hungary. After World War II, the onset of the Cold War socialist ideology in the Eastern Bloc left little room for alternative ecological frameworks, especially when linked to radical right-wing ideologies. The story of Environmental Turanism contributes to the better understanding of how political, social, and economic crises may contribute to the rise of environmental counter-narratives, which is a pressing issue in several contemporary societies globally.
