Besides, the MENA region, notably Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries, tend to focus most of their attention on Western Europe. But could things change? And how do Central and Eastern European countries perceive the MENA region? Erzsébet N. Rózsa, Professor and Senior Researcher at the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs and László Csicsmann, Professor and Head of the Corvinus Centre for Contemporary Asia Studies shed light on these questions in this new podcast.
