Description
We live in an era when the old rules of geopolitics are crumbling and Europe is searching for a new identity. In this turbulent period, Central Europe is no longer asking which path to take but is beginning to chart its own. Pavel Nečas and Petr Rožňák leave closed academic circles behind to offer an accessible, reader-friendly and at times provocatively journalistic analysis of why the Visegrád Group is a genuine kingmaker in European politics. They set out clear positions and challenge the myths that the V4 format is unnecessary or exhausted, presenting Visegrád as a unique space where energy realism is emerging, sovereignty is more than an empty word, and border protection and social stability form the foundations of survival. The authors stress the importance of cooperation among Central European states in the face of the permanent, gradual centralisation of power in the hands of unelected officials. They also recall the hard mathematics of EU decision-making: while the voice of 5.4 million Slovaks may go unheard, the combined strength of the 64 million inhabitants of the V4 countries carries a very different weight in EU institutions. Only agreement and close cooperation can preserve national sovereignty. This Czech-language book addresses readers who reject a black-and-white view of the world and seek solid ground in an age of global chaos, presenting Central Europe as a laboratory of the future.
