Summary/Abstract: In the 1990s two considerations defined the thinking of the Hungarian elite on crisis management activities. On the one hand decisions were demand driven, so Hungary participated in all the missions it was requested to join by the international community and had at least the minimum qualifications needed. For instance when Hungary was requested to join the UN mission in Cambodia, the Hungarian police sent a contingent despite it having only three officers with adequate language skills.
