| Abstract: | This article deals with Hungary's societal security (hereafter as: soci-sec.) concerns and the policy methods it utilizes, incl. its EU membership and the promotion of minority rights at the European level, to help combat these concerns. Hungary is suggested to have found it somewhat difficult to balance its soci-sec. policy objective with internal economic demands on its welfare system and its external foreign policy objective to maintain good neighbourly relations. It is also noted that Hungary's attempts to Europeanise, or rather 'EU-ise', minority and ethnic rights issues as a means to enhance soci-sec. for the Hungarian nation has certain political consequences for the EU etc. |
