LECTURE 12

Regionalism, competition and geopolitics: European integration in Central Europe

 

 

 

The debate around the definitions of what equality/inequality means dominated the problem-centred discussion during this class. Referring to the effects of contemporary economic policies, several students expressed a rather pessimistic viewpoint concerning the ability and political will of the key “global society” actors to overcome the huge gap, which today separates the rich and the poor countries of the world. Almost all students agreed that supportive policies to the benefit of the poorer must be integrated into the concept of promoting equality, but they were divided in assessing just how far such supportive policies should go.
