The project aims to map, analyze and promote understanding of the changing approach to the European integration in Central Europe.

Academic research has identified only limited impact of the EU membership on core socio-economic patterns of individual EU countries. CE countries play critical role in this process as they oppose several core new EU initiatives (e.g. EU framework for migration) and some of them are undergoing a radical transformation of their political structures. More than ten years after their accession to the EU, CE countries also seem to be significantly more assertive in the EU affairs and more ready to ignore domestic implementation of unpopular EU`s initiatives. At the EU level, there seems to be only a limited academic and political reflection of this trend and the decision-making process at the EU level tends to suffer from lack of in-depth communication concerning core and sustainable principles of the EU integration.

Our Jean Monnet Centre aims to identify and provide detailed research of the abovementioned trends in politics, policy and polity in the CE states and to provide a platform for communication between policy-makers and academia.
