MINILATERAL COOPERATION IN THE EU: Internal Cohesion, Group Dynamics, and Voting Behaviour of Selected State Blocks

Our research fellow Vít Havelka contributed to the publication "MINILATERAL COOPERATION IN THE EU: Internal Cohesion, Group Dynamics, and Voting Behaviour of Selected State Blocks", published by the Institute for Foreign Affairs and Trade. He is the author of a chapter on the Visegrad Group.

Collaboration is primarily used as a discussion platform facilitating the EU legislative process rather than a cohesive grouping. There is also evidence of a V2+2 format, where Czechia and Slovakia, and Hungary and Poland create distinctive blocks.

The whole publication is available under the PDF button.
