The Visegrad Group (V4, consisting of Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) has been in the European spotlight lately. This once peripheral, regional alliance suddenly proved capable of single-cause impromptu mobilisation within the EU-framework. The ebook \u201eThe Future of the Visegrad Group\u201c explores how sustainable this alliance is and how can it affect the European Union. Thereby, it not only takes stock of the status-quo but also maps out two scenarios about the future course of the Group. After all, many normative questions demand answers since the European community has been facing a \u201cpolycrisis\u201d, lacking a consent on which principles it should follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The publication is the product of a joint initiative by the Foundation for European Progressive Studies<\/a> (FEPS), and the Berlin-based think tank Das Progressive Zentrum. It aimed to capture the diversity of the region and provide fresh, creative insights. Thanks to the engagement of distinguished scholars and renowned political figures from the region, this collection presents a more holistic, trans-regional reflection on the Visegrad Group in the European context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The editors hope that this book will help better understand the positions and interests of the four younger member states in question \u2013 for the benefit of the whole European Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
