Today the Central European region faces challenges that many had thought
already resolved. The future is far more vague than it was at the
beginning of the transformation or upon entering the European Union. I intend
to elaborate on the most important trends from the recent past in the Central
European region. These will serve as a basis for framing predictions of the
region’s future. The focus is on the four Visegrad countries (V4). But other
countries will also be referred to where relevant. The objective of this
analysis is to draw attention to Central Europe’s uncertain future from an
economic and geopolitical perspective. (Click on the picture!)
