Abstract

The author in his article presents the system of Hungarian strategic documents and its development process from the political systemic changes in the 1990s until today. He emphasizes, that the strategy formulation in Hungary did not develop smoothly. For many years Hungary had neither a security, nor a military strategy, which aroused criticism by our partners and allies, because they had no visible, clear and precise information about the Hungarian intentions and plans. Regarding to the armed forces, only budget-driven reforms had been made, which influenced the Hungarian Defence Forces adversely in the long run. The author examines the 2012 National Military Strategy in detail – he puts professional comments and notes to certain sections.
