Activity: Talk or presentation types › Presentation

Description

Strong relations between the current Polish and Hungarian governments rest on similar ideologies and skepticism toward the European Union. The countries' foreign policies toward Russia, however, are diametrically opposed. This paper proffers three factors influencing the divergent policies. These factors are personal, historical, and geo-strategic. The paper also describes why aligned goals in Europe overwhelm any friction the divergent approaches to Russia might otherwise cause.
