The paper examines the responses of the Visegrad four (V4) to the renewed industrial policy in the EU and its implications.
Analyzed responses of V4 policymakers to EU industrial policy instruments.
Focused on Important Projects of Common European Interest and Foreign Direct Investment screening.
Evaluated the balance of threats and opportunities in shaping industrial policies.
V4 policymakers recognize both threats and opportunities from EU-level industrial policy.
Few efforts are made to actively shape industrial policy instruments, usually favoring traditional liberal principles.
This highlights a tension between the desire for open strategic autonomy and adherence to liberal market ideologies.
