East-Central Europe: The Future of American Higher Education?

‘Central Europe’, as an entity historically and culturally different from ‘Eastern Europe’, was a rallying cry and focus of opposition for many intellectuals in East Central Europe during the 1980s. In the 1989 revolutions it seemed to have found its time, the moment when it could seek to realize itself in practice. What are the claims for Central Europe? What do they tell us about the aspirations of the post-communist states in the region? What idea of Europe do they presuppose and how valid is it? The future shape of Europe will depend – at least in part – on such conceptions of its past character and present alignments.

East Central European

This article discusses the problems of the sub-regional cooperation in East-Central Europe. It formulates the general conclusions and examines the specific case of the Visegrad Group as the most advanced example of this cooperation. The article identifies the integrating and disintegrating tendencies that have so far accompanied the sub-regional dialogue in East-Central Europe. Yet it claims that the disintegrating impulses prevail over the integrating impulses. EastCentral Europe remains diversified and it has not developed a single platform of the sub-regional dialogue. The common experience of the communist period gives way to the growing difference of the sub-regional interests and the ability of the East-Central European members to coordinate their positions in the European Union is limited. The Visegrad Group is no exception in this regard despite its rich agenda of social and cultural contacts. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict confirms a deep divergence of interests among the Visegrad states that seems more important for the future of the Visegrad cooperation than the recent attempts to mark the Visegrad unity in the European refugee crisis. Finally, the Ukrainian crisis and the strengthening of the NATO’s “Eastern flank” may contribute to some new ideas of the sub-regional cooperation in East-Central Europe, to include the Polish-Baltic rapprochement or the closer dialogue between Poland and Romania.
