Hungary 1.2.6

In a conventional setup, transversal co-operation implies the collaboration of the cultural ministry with other governmental bodies. In the current framework of horizontally distributed competences a considerable part of the co-operation occurs between the high offices in charge of a cultural policy segment and the other departments of the same ministry. This applies particularly to the state secretariat for culture which is bound to maintain daily working relations with the state secretariats for education or social matters within the same Ministry for Human Resources. In the absence of structured communication about the operations of these high offices the details of the co-operation are not transparent.
