Abstract
After two decades of successful economic growth, stability and “democratic consolidation” all countries in the Visegrad alliance face crises and uncertainties, most of which reflect the upheavals in Europe. Their unity is threatened by flareups of populism, widening internal divisions and disagreements, as well as increasingly divergent paths of development. Will the V4 – indeed, the entire EU – survive in the face of the growing centrifugal pressures, both internal and external? The book addresses this general question by analysing crises tendencies within each of the V4 countries and by placing these analyses in the broader V4, European, and global context.
