Central & Eastern Europe, on the one hand, and the MENA region, on the other one, have often been described as competing for the EU’s attention. Besides, the MENA region, notably Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries, tend to focus most of their attention on Western Europe. But could things change? And how do Central and Eastern European countries perceive the MENA region? Erzsébet N. Rózsa, Professor and Senior Researcher at the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs and László Csicsmann, Professor and Head of the Corvinus Centre for Contemporary Asia Studies shed light on these questions in this new podcast.

    All economies affected by the pandemic have something in common. The rate of vaccination of the population—quite different in different countries—has been the main factor determining the prospects for the resumption of economic activity, as it is a race against local waves of transmission of the virus.
