    Hungarian Foreign Policy towards the Turkic States: A Motivation for a More Authoritarian‑Leaning Political Model or a Pragmatic Will for Economic Gain?
    (Metropolitan University Prague Press, 2025-04) Hasan, Barış; Topuz, Ali Kılıçarslan; 416023
    This study examines the relationship between the recent discussions that Hungary has moved away from fundamental democratic values and turned into an illiberal democracy and the transformation of Hungarian foreign policy by taking Hungary’s relations with the Turkic states as a case. The dynamics of Hungarian foreign policy towards the Turkic states as part of Hungary’s post-2010 strategy of Eastern Opening are taken as a case study and the influences of these dynamics on perception differences about Hungarian democracy are analysed. It is discussed whether Hungary’s developing political and economic relations with the Turkic states since 2010 involve an emulation of the political models of these states and whether this has an impact on the so-called transformation of Hungarian democracy into an illiberal democracy. It attempts to reveal the extent to which foreign policy developments are decisive for Hungarian domestic politics and, in particular, to identify the triggering factors for Hungary’s rapprochement with the Turkic states. It seeks to answer the question of whether Hungary’s motivation to adapt a more authoritarian -leaning political model or pragmatic economic intentions are more hegemonic in the relationship between Hungary and the Turkic states.

    Hungarian Foreign Policy Under Orbán (2010– 2023): A Challenge to Euro-Atlantic Stability
    (Taylor and Francis, 2026-06) Hasan, Barış; 416023
    This article analyses the fundamental reasons for Hungary’s disagreements with Euro-Atlantic structures. The article questions the mainstream view that Hungary’s transformation into an ‘electoral autocracy’ has caused conflicts between Hungary and Euro-Atlantic institutions by constituting a contrast with Euro-Atlantic values. It is argued that Hungarian foreign policy has historically exhibited a balancing tradition that has become the dominant approach under Viktor Orbán towards Euro-Atlantic structures, combined with the weaknesses of Hungary’s Westernisation. The article demonstrates that this approach has added a confrontational element to the relationship between Hungary and Euro-Atlantic powers.
