Centre for Global Political Economy
The Centre for Global Political Economy examines the interlinkages between political and economic power in international relations, whose understanding is key for the strategic decision-making of both governments and non-state actors in a globalized world. The Centre primarily focuses on the challenges facing the Czech Republic and the European Union in a time of intensifying geopolitical confrontation and the general fragmentation of the global economy. Thematically, these challenges encompass areas such as trade and industrial policy, development cooperation, and the impacts of armed conflicts on political and gender relations at both local and global levels. Regionally, the centre’s experts focus in particular on Central and Eastern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa.
