Selected factors shaping the international position of Slovakia since the collapse of the communist system

Summary/Abstract: Since 1989 there have been many internal and external factors which have shaped the international position of Slovakia. The Slovak foreign policy has come through many tests until today. The current international situation on the European and global level creates new challenges for the foreign policy of the Slovak Republic. Although many difficulties have come, the Slovak Republic has shown the capacity to create responsible positions in the dynamically changing international environment, in dialogue with its transatlantic and European allies. This paper has the ambition to identify the key political factors and turning points in the internal and external political development, which have shaped the international position of the Slovak Republic and have significantly affected the credibility of the Slovak Republic in the framework of regional (V4), European (EU) and global (NATO, UN) structures since 1989.
