| Title | Between the EU and NATO: Hungarys Strategic Culture |
| Summary | Hungary’s experiences as a member of both the EU and NATO on the matters of relations with Russia, border security, and military structuring reveal that EU and NATO security agendas are not always complimentary. By assessing Hungary’s choices in security cooperation, it becomes clear that ideational factors heavily influence and sometimes override Hungary’s rational interests. While any Europeanisation of Hungary’s security culture is minimal at best, Hungary’s participation in EUBAM and FRONTEX could lead to further security integration. On matters of military deployments, capabilities structuring, and defense spending, Hungary overwhelming favors NATO’s needs, even while recognizing that its stated security needs are best addressed through EU security cooperation, thus revealing the dominant influence of strategic culture. |
