We cordially invite you to the book launch of “The World Through Hungarian Eyes: Foreign Policy Attitudes in Hungary in 2023” – a new publication of Policy Solutions, supported by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung.

This comprehensive foreign policy attitude survey reveals how the Hungarian public views the country's place in the world, and how it perceives key international issues, conflicts and actors. The publication presents what Hungarians believe should be the objectives that should guide the country's foreign policy. It also examines the recognition and popularity of the world's leading politicians and public figures in Hungary, and analyses in detail the perception of the US and China. The research also pays special attention to attitudes towards the Russia-Ukraine war.

In a panel discussion following the presentation of the new study, renowned foreign policy experts will help interpret the findings.
