The latest issue of our print magazine is now out and available for purchase, featuring writings by an illustrious set of contributors that includes scholars, authors, and diplomats from all over the world.
Levente Benkő, the former Hungarian ambassador to Israel and the current international director for the Centre for Digital Sovereignty penned an article about Hungary’s place in the changing world order. He argues that with the formation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership in November 2020, the cooperation of Eastern states turned into a formidable economic bloc, contributing one-third of the global GDP. In addition to the behemoth in the region, China, it also includes countries allied with the West militarily, such as Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Japan—however, not India, the most populous nation on the planet right now. As the East is rapidly closing in on the economic advantage of the Western bloc, Hungary cannot afford to do what Western European countries have been doing lately, ‘turning in on themselves’, as Mr Benkő put it. Hungary, on the other hand, continues to seek foreign investments from the East, while also remaining integrated in the common EU market, the author notes.
We have four more pieces in the Geopolitics section of this issue for you. Carlos Roa, a visiting fellow at the Danube Institute, covers a timely topic in his piece: he writes about the BRICS nations’ efforts to dethrone the US Dollar as the number one global reserve currency.
In the Current section, we have our website’s very own Joakim Scheffer covering the recent farmers’ protests sweeping across Europe; while Dutch sociologist Eric Hendric’s piece is all about Geert Wilders’ right-wing populist PVV party winning the recent parliamentary election in his home country of the Netherlands.
Our Diaspora writer Ildikó Antal-Ferencz, author of the recently published book To Be Hungarian in America, has also contributed a piece of her own to this issue. It is listed in the Culture & Society section, and is titled ‘It Would Be a Sin to Do Nothing Even if We Cannot Do Everything:’ A Snapshot of the Hungarian Diaspora in North America.
As our readers can get used to it by now, the magazine also features an exclusive interview. This issue’s interview subject is Bishop Gábor Mohos from the Catholic Church in Hungary.
