The influence of China on CEE countries' foreign policy preferences
Liškutín, Kamil
The primary goal of this thesis is to address the validity of a popular premise that China has deployed a “divide et impera” strategy in relations with the European Union through the 16+1 Initiative. The contemporary literature predominantly focuses on the analysis of economic aspects. The thesis, however, deploys unique techniques to study non-economic aspects. As such the analysis was conducted via both comparison of state positions derived from the United Nation roll-call data and the speech similarities derived from the United Nations statements. The author concluded that the 16+1 initiative has led to only a very slight increase in similarity of the state’s preferences between the CEE countries and China.
