  • Pharma Drives Economic Growth in Central Europe
    What the doctor ordered: Pharma drives economic growth in Central Europe Leveraging location, low costs, and strong legacy companies with a skilled labour pool, the pharmaceutical industry is a quiet success story in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The sector is a major contributor to exports and R&D spending in several countries, and has become a magnet for M&A deals in recent years. International pharmaceutical companies have a strong manufacturing presence across the CEE region, producing and exporting a wide range of products. US multinational Teva, for example, gained CEE assets – including two generics factories in Bulgaria and oncology drugs facility in Romania – when it acquired Allergan’s Actavis Generics in 2016. Meanwhile, Sanofi announced earlier this year that it would carve out its active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) business as a standalone company, creating the world’s second-largest API manufacturer.[1]Its production facilities will include a plant in Ujpest, Hungary. Basel-based Novartis has invested nearly €2bn in Slovenia since 2003, largely through its generics and biosimilars business Sandoz, which has four locations in the country. And in 2019 Sandoz itself announced a deal for the global commercialisation and distribution of a biosimilar to combat multiple sclerosis, to be developed and manufactured by Gdansk-based Polphama Biologics.[2] An export edge Generics manufacturing in particular relies on three factors: low costs, reliable supply chains, and a skilled workforce – including a regulatory team able to spot products coming off patent. CEE has all these factors, making it a prime manufacturing location for the rest of Europe and beyond.

  • L-39 Albatros
    L-39 ALBATROS Type: L-39 Albatros Max Speed: 490 KIAS / Mach 0.80 Max Range: 864 NM G-Limits: +8.0g / -4.0g Ceiling: 36,000 ft Max Climb Rate: 4,130+ fpm Max Endurance: 3.8 hours The L-39 Albatros is a highly capable, stable, subsonic aircraft that first flew in November 1969. The aircraft is produced in the Czech Republic and it is constructed in conjunction with plans developed by Aero Vodochody and its chief designer, Jan Vlček. The L-39 is flown worldwide, principally with former Soviet allies. The aircraft continues to fly in countries as diverse as Iraq, Chechnya, Libya, Syria and Russia. The Albatros is flown primarily as a trainer or light attack aircraft similar in mission to the Italian MB339 or M-346, the British Hawk and the US Goshawk. The L-39 is designed with many distinguishing characteristics. The aircraft possesses a uniquely tall vertical tail that is swept back and is one of its dominant features. The tail, with its inset rudder, provides directional control to the aircraft. The L-39 has thick wings that provide ample lift for the airframe, and each wing has provisions to mount stores or fuel tanks that extend the range of the L-39. Operational g-force limits at 4,200 kg are +8g/-4g. Side-by-side airbrakes are located under the L-39 fuselage slightly ahead of the wing’s leading edge. The L-39 has variable-incidence horizontal stabilizers mounted on the rear of the aircraft at the base of the rudder.

Due to the manner in which evidence, although considered unofficial, was made available, this case illustrates secret political and business processes during partial state capture. The initial absence of the case in public, political, and academic discourses, suggests that state capture can be present and operate undetected for a long time. This study also shows that in-depth analysis of the Gorilla case was avoided by both domestic and international political scientists, despite its paramount practical and theoretical importance. This, in turn, reflects a methodological capture of political science. Consequently, this article disentangles the complexities of the Gorilla case and lays down the foundation for further studies. Specifically, it highlights the need for more careful research, terminological precision in both theory- building and empirical findings on state and media capture based on case studies, as well as re- assessment of the methodology of political sciences used in these research areas. Keywords: Gorilla, Slovakia, Oligarchs, Corruption, State Capture, Intelligence Services, Wiretapping 1. Introduction The Gorilla case2, an alleged grand corruption case, had its importance downplayed by state authorities and the media (the latter in part being unaware of it), until public demonstrations flooded the streets of the capital of Slovakia a few years later.

  • Energy Security in Transition
    ENERGY SECURITY IN TRANSITION: PREVIEWCOPING WITH ENERGY IMPORT DEPENDENCE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC, SLOVAKIA AND HUNGARY By Andrej Nosko A Doctoral Dissertation submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Supervisor: Professor Béla Greskovits Budapest, Hungary 2013 CEU eTD Collection DECLARATION I hereby declare that no parts of this thesis have been accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. This thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another PREVIEWperson, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Andrej Nosko CEU eTD Collection ii ABSTRACT In this dissertation I study why countries under comparable international conditions prioritize energy security differently. Why do their domestic responses of coping with structural position of PREVIEWenergy import dependence vary over time, and what explains the type of variation and its timing? By answering these questions, this dissertation contributes to the broader research field on temporal and spatial variation of domestic responses to comparable international conditions. In order to understand the factors of prioritizing security in energy policy, and their facilitating and inhibiting conditions in countries in transition, through case selection, I isolate effects of fundamentals and external factors. As I observe in the Central and East European countries in transition, policies enhancing energy security are prioritized when three aspects coincide and interact: When popular perception of threat, which can plausibly be connected to the energy supply, is high and concentrated among supporters of ruling parties; when former elites who can draw on personal links with the perceived source of threat, and thus can dampen the effects of threat, are removed from power; and when incumbent industrial interests are de-concentrated and face obstacles in promoting their interests.
