“…But the abovementioned focus on the promotion of rather specific Czech interests (most notably the 'Czech exception') suggests a shift from mere 'rule following' in 2000 towards attempts to make and promote own interests in EU governance as well as in CFSP in 2010. Similar observations were made by Beneš and Braun (2010) and by Baun and Marek (2010) in their study of the Czech participation in the EU's external relations. While the volumes by Drulák and Braun (2010), Drulák and Handl (2010), Drulák and Hořký (2010) and Drulák and Střítecký (2010) provide a somewhat different conceptualization of legitimate national interests, that is, those that are also adopted as joint EU interests (Kratochvíl 2010), they are also evidence of reinvigorated interest in the notion of national interests among the Czech International Relations (IR) scholars.…”

“…This has been particularly evident in the cooperation of the Group with other EU countries in the "V4+" format, for example with the Baltic States, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, and with Croatia. The role of the Visegrad Group in bringing together political elites and societies of states that are not free form historical past and also in the alleviation of current political disputes that appear form time to time in neighbourly relations also should not be underestimated (Bukalska, 2003;Dangerfield, 2014Dangerfield, , 2005Jagodzinski, 2006;Baun & Marek, 2010;Ručinská & Fečko, 2016).…”

The phenomenon of enterprises bankruptcy is an extremely complex process of economic, legal, social and even psychological nature. In the developed countries, the first studies on forecasting bankruptcy date to the early 20th century. In Central and Eastern Europe, due to, among other factors, the geopolitical situation and the introduced economic system, this issue became the subject of researchers’ interest only in the 1990s. The universality and complexity of the phenomenon incline the Authors to make an attempt to identify the scale of the bankruptcy processes in the states of the Visegrad Group (V4). The countries of V4 were selected because of their common history and similar economic development. The aim of this article is to analyze the dynamics of the phenomenon of bankruptcy of enterprises in the states of the V4 Group in the years 2005–2016 on the basis of the data taken from the Credit reform reports. The estimation of trend models in time series on the basis of the bankruptcy in the Visegrad Group countries in the years 2005–2016 was used in the article as the primary research method. The descriptive analysis was also applied in the article.

“…A third country-specific condition is the reputation ('reput') of the incumbent Member State (Metcalfe, 1998;Bjurulf, 2001;Baun, 2009;Bunse, 2009). Incumbent countries with a good reputation enjoy more trust among the other Member States and the EU institutions, which makes influence on decisions more likely.…”

“…The external political context (Baun, 2009), or leadership environment (Bunse, 2009), is constituted by the political climate in the EU with regard to the topics of interest to the Presidency (e.g. the context of relations with candidate countries is different from that for neighbouring countries of the EU), domestic politics in EU countries or global events (e.g.…”

“…A fifth country-specific condition to be considered is the effect of a stable domestic political and administrative context ('stab.dom'): effective intra-and inter-departmental coordination (Baun, 2009;Bunse, 2009, p. 64) and a stable Government with a strong mandate (Copsey & Pomorska, 2010) can be expected to increase the influence of a Member State, especially during a Presidency period. It is argued that, in a stable domestic situation, the incumbent country can concentrate on the Presidency's agenda and goals and does not have to direct resources to internal coordination.…”

This article analyses and compares the influence of the Hungarian, Polish and Lithuanian Presidencies of the Council of the European Union (taking place between 2011 and 2013) on the Union's policies towards the countries of the Eastern Partnership -Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. The influence of the Presidencies is compared through qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), which aims to identify necessary and sufficient conditions for influence to occur. The results show that there is only one necessary condition for the Presidency to exert influence, that is, the issue should be highly salient to the incumbent Member State. The absence of any other condition for influence does as such not hamper Presidency influence. Moreover, the analysis reveals three sufficient combinations of conditions for Presidency influence, in which the individual conditions play different roles. The application of QCA to Presidency influence leads to novel insights and stimulates conceptual clarity on the level of and the conditions for influence.
