Spring Semester 2015/2016
The aim of the course is to analyze various political concepts relating to Central Europe and to highlight the specifics of regional development in the past and present.
Central Europe represents one of the most important regions of the enlarged EU. The success of the integration of the V4 states to the EU is subject not only to the relations between the particular state and European institution, but to the relation between all respective states as well. Therefore the aim of the course will be to overcome the one-track national approaches and to develop the comparative and cross-regional approach with the understanding of the position of the all Visegrad countries. The impact will be the increasing of the common Visegrad / Central European identity in the young generation of the future Slovak experts in the field of international relations and European integration.
The lectures and seminars are based on an interdisciplinary approach and focus both on cross-regional and cross-country comparisons.
The aim of the course is increasing of the competences of students in the following fields:
- knowledge about the region of Central Europe
