Policy Brief | Were Czech industrial policy interests reflected in EU 2024-2029 strategic agenda discussions?

June 27, 2024

In light of the recent return of industrial policy to the global and EU stage, this policy brief outlines how Czech interests in this policy were reflected in the debates leading up to the adoption of 2024-2029 EU strategic agenda. First, it strives to define Czech industrial policy interests, outlining two alternative approaches to how they can be perceived. The liberal approach follows the long established consensus, according to which Czechia – as a very open, export oriented economy – should promote above all a seamless Single Market and free trade. Writes EUROPEUM Institute researcher Klára Votavová in her Policy Brief.

Policy Brief | Byly zájmy české průmyslové politiky zahrnuty v diskusích o strategické agendě EU na roky 2024-2029?

June 27, 2024

V souvislosti s nedávným návratem průmyslové politiky na globální a unijní scénu tento policy brief popisuje, jak se české zájmy v této politice odrážely v debatách vedoucích k přijetí strategické agendy EU na období 2024-2029. Nejprve se snaží definovat zájmy české průmyslové politiky a nastiňuje dva alternativní přístupy k tomu, jak je lze vnímat. Liberální přístup navazuje na dlouhodobě zavedený konsenzus, podle něhož by Česko - jako velmi otevřená, exportně orientovaná ekonomika - mělo prosazovat především bezproblémový vnitřní trh bez překážek a volný obchod. Píše výzkumná pracovnice Institutu EUROPEUM Klára Votavová ve své nové publikaci.
