Cíle předmětu
The course is intended to give the students a basic insight into the trends and events that have influenced (or affected) recent political and social developments in the Central and (partly) Eastern Europe and significantly contributed to the present character of political institutions and political life in the region. After a general historical introduction, a survey of the processes in the Czech Republic, here serving as a model of case study, will be given, thus outlining its position as part of the broader Central and Eastern European context and enabling comparison with changes in the region as a whole. Consequently, another regions and important political issues of the Central and Eastern Europe will be dealt with to offer a comprehensive picture. The course will also trace the developments within the region in connection with the efforts for further European integration and the strengthening of European security.
