Abstract

Refugees and migrants became a big problem in Europe after World War II, this time refugees came from Middle East cause of recent conflict in the region. Hungary, geographically is the country became a gateway for refugees and migrants coming from the Middle East to go to Western and Northern European countries. Hungary has become a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and 1967 Protocol which has the mandate to carry  out  the  protection  and  fulfillment  of  the  rights  of  refugees  who come  to  their  territory,  especially  in  this  case  Hungary  is  serve  as  a transit country. However, the facts that occur are Hungary's refusal of the  presence  of   refugees  by  issuing   a  series  of   policies   that  are considered controversial and inviting criticism from the European Union and  other  European  countries.  Referring  to   the  reality,   this  study attempt to explain the reasons behind Hungary's rejection of refugees and migrants from the Middle East by the realism perspective. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach where data were collected through interviews and literature studies. This research found that policies issued by Hungary are based on national interests which are the basis of consideration used by a country in making policies according to the view of realism. The national interest is related to the interests of core values, middle range objectives and long range goals that want to be maintained or protected when faced with the arrival of refugees and migrants to Hungary.
