THE VISEGRAD GROUP IN THE WESTERN SECURITY SYSTEM
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
The catalyst for the initiation of regional integration processes in Central and Eastern Europe was the erosion of the system of real socialism. The security vacuum created after the collapse of the Soviet Union allowed the countries of the region to establish low institutionalised cooperation towards integration with NATO and the European Union - the two basic pillars of the Western security system. Apart from presenting the process of the quadrilateral cooperation of Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary for independence from the Soviet Union and then the Russian Federation, and integration with NATO and the EU, the authors also focus on the joint actions of the Visegrad Group after joining Western structures. A particularly important area of analysis is military cooperation and its tangible consequences - closer cooperation between the Central European region and, consequently, increasing the level of security.
