Diversity is one of the key strengths of the European Union, but it is also a challenge. Finding compromise between member states is fundamental to its functioning, but what if differences in the domestic and foreign policies of some governments undermine the effectiveness, prosperity, and security of the Union as a whole? What risks does this pose for the EU and the Czech Republic? Why should we pay attention to them? What tools does the EU have to deal with these situations - and are they sufficient? Debate after the lecture is welcome.
