BOGDAN GÓRALCZYK: EU-China Geopolitics - Poland, Hungary, and 17+1
In today’s episode, we look at Central Europe— - in particular, Poland and Hungary—to explore EU-China relations in this region. We will take a wider geostrategic perspective, which involves also the United States and Russia, and, naturally, we will talk about 17+1 and clashes of interests in the region. But keep listening to learn about the perspective of these two countries, which are active actors pursuing their own interests.
Our guest today is Bogdan Góralczyk, a man of many talents, a Polish sinologist who calls Hungary his second home and researches European integration. He is the Director of the Centre for Europe at the University of Warsaw and a lifelong diplomat. He has served as an Ambassador to multiple postings in Asia and as a chief of policy cabinet of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The author of many books and publications on the EU, China, and Hungary, he has a unique insight into Polish and Hungarian perspectives on EU-China relations and wider global power shifts.
