CEE Economies and EU Enlargement

In 2004 Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, and Slove­nia became part of the enlarged EU. Bulgaria and Romania joined EU in 2007. This had an eco­nomic impact on both the new en­trants and the EU itself. The first part of this course deals with issues related to the economic transition from centrally planned economic system into the market economy. The second part tackles topics related to the EU enlarge­ment and to cur­rent EU issues. The course is focused on eco­nomic realities of the CEE re­gion.
