Hungary in the Trans-Atlantic Debate: A Soft-Atlanticist Position

Summary/Abstract: Although, in theory, Hungary would be the best candidate to take a marked pro-EU-integrationist foreign policy stance in the trans-Atlantic debate, this is not the case. At the same time, Hungary’s Atlanticist position has been, to a considerable degree, different from the overall Atlanticist position that has been a typical feature of its wider environment, the East-Central European region. The article examines the apparent above-mentioned paradox and analyzes the specific features of the Hungarian approach and their roots. The central thesis of this article is that the soft-Atlanticist Hungarian position in the trans-Atlantic debate is a specific case.
