The Compulsory Study of Mandarin by African Students at Chinese Universities
The 2019/2021 Afrobarometer survey data show that only two percent of Africans view Mandarin as a desirable international language for young people to learn. This indicates that Beijing’s attempts to enhance its cultural soft power in Africa through language promotion have had limited success. This project aims to further explore this finding by examining the perspectives of the compulsory study of Mandarin among African student migrants who have…
The economic impact of international student mobility – the volume and structure of expenditure in Hungary
International student mobility has a significant socio-economic impact in various respects, particularly within the economic subsystem. Foreign students contribute to local economies by consuming goods and services during their stay, thus driving demand. This study explores the economic impact of foreign students participating in Hungary’s Stipendium Hungaricum government-financed scholarship programme. It is based on a comprehensive survey condu…
Hungarian Diplomacy towards Africa
One of the defining facts of Hungary's foreign policy is that it had political sovereignty only for short periods until 1989. At the beginning of the 1960s a pragmatic and constructive Hungarian foreign policy began to take shape, which, in the period of the détente within the Soviet Bloc, could follow a relatively independent path. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) was one of its key relations, and it became one of the priority foreign policy directions …
Hungary’s Relations with the BRICS in the Context of the Changing World Order
The paper aims to analyse Hungary’s evolving foreign policy in a changing world order since the politico-economic regime change of the early 1990s, but with the main focus on relations with the member states of the BRICS group since the initiation of Hungary’s ‘Global Opening’ policy in 2011. As such, the paper aims to offer a comparative overview of Hungary’s engagements with the five core members of the BRICS. By following the theory of poles a…

Magyarország és a Száhel a 21. században
A Száhel jelentőségének felértékelődése Magyarország számára nem a véletlen műve, hanem szervesen következik az elmúlt évek magyar kül- és biztonságpolitikájának alakulásából. Ez egyben illeszkedett az Európa-szerte megfigyelhető tendenciákba, amelyek során az addigi széttartó és ad hoc jellegű uniós és tagállami szerepvállalás egyre inkább a Száhelre összpontosult. A földrajzi fókuszváltás emellett koncepcionális átalakulást is magába foglalt, m…

Caring Interventions for the Most Vulnerable Populations in Economically Disadvantaged Areas during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic by Non-Governmental Organizations in Kenya
This paper deals with COVID-19-hit Kenyan slums and the numerous interventions civil society organizations implemented during the first waves of the pandemic since it was initially detected in March 2020. As part of a comprehensive project using mixed methodology, including desk research and key informant interviews, community-based organizations and non-governmental organizations, together with other stakeholders of their collaborative networks,…
The Potential for Violent Extremist Organizations in Africa to Take Advantage of the Covid-19 Pandemic Crisis in Ungoverned Spaces
Under COVID-19 pressures, governments of many fragile African states not only struggle to provide services and help their societies, but they are also to deal with the constant threat violent extremist organizations (VEOs) present. The paper discusses how VEOs exploit this situation to gain local support by using their alternative service provision capabilities, together with the necessary narratives propagating their legitimacy. It offers the ex…
Changing geopolitics of higher education
This article analyses the economic impact of inbound student mobility in Hungary. The research is based on an innovative approach not only showing the geoeconomic impact based on expenditures of the different groups of incoming students (Erasmus+, degree mobility of self-funded or scholarship holder students), but also links the data to specific sectors of the national and local economies. Thus, the paper reveals that international student mobili…
Watu kama sisi
People with albinism in sub-Saharan African countries have long struggled for equal rights and the understanding of society at large, fighting stigmatisation and, in numerous cases, for their lives against wrongdoings in the form of killings and other physical atrocities. This article examines the Tanzanian context and adds to the ongoing academic discourse by presenting tangible manifestations of awareness-raising and education in village commun…

Hungary’s Pragmatic Foreign Policy in a Post-American World
This paper seeks to provide an overview of Hungary’s foreign policy priorities since the change of the political system of 1989–90. It intends to critically analyse the rise of pragmatism, in particular, in the new policy chapters of the ‘Turn towards the East’ and the ‘Opening to the South’, while it also looks at the international system itself with its recent developments and how Hungary has behaved in relation to them. Focal attention will be…

Race, nation, and citizenship in post-colonial Africa. The case of Tanzania
This neatly structured and sophisticated book undoubtedly contributes to a better understanding of one of Africa's exemplary nationalisms – the Tanzanian nationalist struggle and nation-building project. In a well-documented narrative the author addresses a general audience, which is one of the strengths of the volume, while at the same time contributing to the growing scholarly literature. Aminzade highlights and connects the parts that constitu…
African immigrants in Hungary
The paper seeks to introduce the history, motivations, background and present situation of the marginal but growing African population in Hungary. It will show an East-Central European country with no record of being a colonial power in the African continent, but with significant ties to the continent through explorers and travelers, which aims to finally formulate a government policy on Africa and African development co-operation. In this effort…
