Schmidt, Andrea (2016): Friends forever? The Role of the Visegrad Group and European Integration (Journal: Politics of Central Europe, 12/3).

During the seminar, following questions will be discussed. 

1/ Is Visegrád (=V4 states) an issue? Does the cooperation matter?
2/ In which spheres of cooperation are these states active?
3/ Do the V4 states have similar opinion on EU integration? What kind of integration do they imagine for the future?
4/ Why is the politics of Orbán and Kaczynski so much different? Why are they so much radical in national questions?
