Globalization and its Discontents: Specific Problems in Central Europe

Liberal Democracy has come under pressure in Western countries, mainly because of their inability to tackle by local political means the complex challenges posed by globalization, e.g. mass migration and global financial markets. In the Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) the challenges are even more complex as they lack deep democratic traditions such as strong civil societies and political institutions.
