Economics of Transition: Insights from the Economic Rise of Poland and CEE countries

The course will present the geopolitical context during which the political transformation in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) took place. The course will focus on the strategic decisions and challenges faced by the CEE countries, from Estonia in the North to Bulgaria in the South, and discuss the economic consequences of these decisions. Social and political issues that have a significant impact on the functioning of the economy will also be analyzed. Based on the analysis of the economic history of the region, the course will also discuss current challenges that result from geopolitical processes, such as the war in Ukraine or tensions between the US and China.
