Summary
Cílem předmětu je poskytnutí základních znalostí o geografickém pozadí světa a
zejména prohloubení okruhu znalostí o socioekonomické váze evropského
kontinentu, jeho jednotlivých států a vybraných regionů. Na politické mapě
Evropy došlo za posledních deset let k výrazným proměnám, které dotvářejí
dramatické události 20. století na tomto kontinentu. Vliv Evropy na okolní
svět především v podmínkách globalizačních a integračních tendencí zůstává v
mnoha směrech závažný. Stejně tak mimořádnou roli sehrávají aktivity v
oblasti budování bezpečnostní architektury Evropy.
