| Description: | The aim of the course is to present development of relations of Central European countries with China, with special emphasis on their economic and political aspects. With exception of increasing level of imports, up until recently the People’s Republic of China kept a low-profile in the region. Similarly, with exception of Germany, Central European countries had only limited presence in China. This has changed rapidly in last five years when PRC started to be proactive internationally and its presence in the region (in terms of diplomatic relations, investment activities as well as growing interest of local companies in penetrating Chinese market) increased visibly. The course will track this development since the establishment of PRC in 1949 with particular interest in contemporary era. It will describe the development, aspire to give interpretations of the motivations of activities and introduce the most important concepts in Central Europe – China Relations. |
