Political space of the hungarian nation: the resource of kindred diasporas

Abstract

The article presents the process of reformatting the practices of national development through an expanded interpretation of the endogenous political space of the national community. It is noted that the EU spatial strategies have a significant impact on the revision of the priorities of regional development of modern states, which, seeking to ensure the sustainable development of their own political systems, turn to the socio-political capital of related foreign diasporas and border regions. In the context of the spatial revolution and the recognition of the actual political space as a constructed system, the nationalpolitical space acquires the characteristics of a flexible network system where new practices of national cohesion are formed, which are not limited by the sovereign borders of the state.
 An example of the transformation of the process of national cohesion in Hungary is presented, which involves the incorporation of related foreign diasporas of Southern Slovakia, Transylvania, Vojvodina and Transcarpathia into a single socio-political system without revision of state borders. The socio-political development of Hungarian diasporas abroad is managed centrally through state institutions and programs. On the example of the creation of an extensive network of Hungarian political parties and NGOs within the socio-cultural spaces of the Hungarian diasporas, the process of building a system of autonomous projects along the perimeter of the borders of Hungary is shown, through which it seeks to modernize its own national doctrine by providing it with a transnational component.
Hungarian policy considers Hungarian communities as a resource that can provide a political transit for the national doctrine, which provides a modern component of the ethno-national idea, and makes it possible to respond to the spatial transformations of the EU.
