In multi-speed Europe, Czech Republic is not in any rush

June 25, 2019

Konzervativci a brexitový poker: Přichází čas Borise Johnsona?

May 25, 2019

Když v roce 1973 přivedla britská konzervativní vláda premiéra Edwarda Heathe po několikaletém neúspěšném úsilí a peripetiích Velkou Británií do Evropského hospodářského společenství, začala již tehdy pro mnohé brexitová kampaň. I když referendum vyvolané labouristickou vládou v roce 1975 potvrdilo vůli Britů participovat na společném evropském projektu, kritici jak ze strany konzervativců, tak labouristů od… » read more

May 17, 2019

In 2014, Nigel Farage built the successful campaign of his (now former) UK Independence Party (UKIP) on spreading fear about migration. This year, Farage’s new group, the Brexit Party, is using three years of major parties’ indecisiveness and political stalemate to gain support in the campaign.

Blízkému spojenectví navzdory: Polsko-litevské vztahy ve 21. století

April 29, 2019

Jen málokteré dva národy v Evropě sdílely po staletí tolik společných státních útvarů (např. více než 200 let trvající Polsko-litevská unie), aby mezi sebou ve století dvacátém tak nevraživě fyzicky a rétoricky bojovaly. Řeč je o Polsku a Litvě a jejich vztazích po roce 1989. Na rozdíl od Běloruska, které nastoupilo v porovnání s Litvou… » read more

Příběh jednoho složitého sousedství: Polsko-běloruské vztahy ve 21. století

April 23, 2019

Jaké jsou nynější vztahy dvou sousedů, které spojuje mnohasetletá společná historie, ale současnost spíše rozděluje? Jeden z nich, Polsko, je rychle se rozvíjející moderní stát. Naopak Bělorusko je často označováno jako poslední skanzen komunismu v Evropě. Vztahy od raných devadesátých let mezi Běloruskem a Polskem jsou trvale napjaté a podezřívavé. Po rozpadu Sovětského svazu a… » read more
