SUMMARY:Vaclav Havel European Dialogues / Growth and Inequality in Central Europe: Between Havel’s Vision and Today’s Cleavages
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a third edition of the annual Václav Havel European Dialogues\, a global series of discussions inspired by Havel’s enduring legacy organised jointly by the Czech Centre London\, SSEES and the Research Centre for the Study of Places\, Identities\, and Memories (PIMs). \n\nOver the last three decades\, the Central European countries have experienced some of the fastest economic growths in the world. The region has joined the ranks of highly developed countries\, and its citizens are wealthier and living longer than ever before. In Czechia\, this transformation was closely tied to the democratic ideals articulated by Václav Havel\, whose vision of an open society and civic responsibility shaped the country’s path during the early years of transition. Yet\, within a generation\, Central Europe has also moved from being one of the most egalitarian regions in Europe to one of the most unequal. This indicates that the growth has not benefited all equally. What are the sources of the Central European miracle\, and who are its main beneficiaries? What are the consequences of the increasing inequalities for these societies\, especially in the context of growing political polarisation? How can we ensure that future growth in the region will be inclusive? \nThe event will be moderated by Jessie Barton Hronešová and will feature an esteemed panel of speakers\, including Zsoka Koczan\, Lead Economist in the Office of the Chief Economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development\, Lubomír Lízal\, economist and former director of CERGE-EI\, Prague\, Pawel Bukowski\, co-director of the new Research Center for the Study of Places\, Identities\, and Memories (PIMs)\, and a word of welcome by Přemysl Pela\, the director of the Czech Center in London. \nAbout the speakers: \nZsoka Koczan is Associate Director\, Lead Economist in the Office of the Chief Economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
