Could the Arctic Be a New Field of Advocacy for Hungary?

doi: 10.32567/hm.2022.3.11

Absztrakt

Climate change is driving the discovery of more and more minerals hidden in the Arctic, for which the initial stage of  the struggle is already underway. As this process intensifies, so the number of countries interested in the  region is expanding. Hungary cannot be left out of this  process, but the articulation of Hungarian interests is still in its infancy. The paper examines how the Arctic region is  currently reflected in Hungarian strategic documents and  how actual cooperation with the Arctic states is developing.  Finally, the paper outlines the elements on which  Hungarian interests and actions concerning the Arctic can  be built in the future.
