Abstract: This paper analyzes examples of network misalignment in Hungary to demonstrate the applicability of this theoretical perspective to analyses of CEE’s transformation and catching-up performance. We investigate cases of network misalignment in a multidimensional perspective, enquiring into cases of both missing networks elements, misalignment in various types of networks as well as policy misalignment issues.We conclude that networks offer opportunities but are at the same time characterized by difficult-to-overcome constraints. It is up to individual network members’ capabilities, whether and to what extent they can exploit network opportunities and whether they can influence their position within the network.
