Europa wielu prędkości i kwestia Europy Wschodniej. Ujęcie centro-peryferyjne
Multi-speed Europe and the problem of Eastern Europe. Centre-periphery approach

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the issue of insecurity in the European Union. The analysis is based on the centre-periphery approach with the starting hypothesis that the asymmetry of potentials in the states and regions within the European Union is a result of historical social and economic differences. Contemporary discourse on the concept called “Multi-speed Europe” is perceived as a creation of the concrete political and institutional framework for defined disparities. Therefore, this concept is criticized by the new members of the EU, which remain insecure and dependent on European cohesion policies. During my research, I have engaged several achievements of economic security and development studies.
