Szeged Centre for Security Policy and Department of Strategic Studies at Swedish National Defence College
Project: Regional security building within the European framework in Central Europe: the case of Hungary
Dr. Nicolaus Rockberger Ph.D
The security policy situation of Hungary is quite unique. Hungary is a new member of NATO and on its way to EU. But Hungary’s situation in Europe is different from most other NATO and EU members. Today no one of Hungary’s neighbour states is a NATO member and no one is likely to become a member for several years. Also most of Hungary’s neighbour states will most probably enter EU much later than Hungary. Hungary is the only new member directly bordering a conflict and war zone, former Yugoslavia.

The study will deal with Hungary as a new member state of NATO and its ideas and aims as member and experience so far – for example Kosovo war. Of special intrest is Hungary’s relations to this Balkan neighbours and Ukraine, states with different security policy.How is or could security be buits up in this region? Are there different ideas about it? How will Hungary aim to strike the balance between all---European (OSCE), NATO, EU, regional and subregional approches to security? Will it seek “exclusive”rather than “inclusive” solutions towards the Balkans? How will the “new dimension of security” be handled in difference fora and organisations? How do we apply the qualiytical concept “security complex” to the Hungarian setting?
