The course will focus on the complexity of the social and economic situation after the year 1945, the social impacts of centrally controlled economy, its extensive character, the five-year planning, normalization, stagnation, artificial creation of jobs, etc.) The course will build on the theoretical foundations of the study of regions and at the same time create preconditions for further understanding of the changes that are taking place in our society at the present. The course also provides preconditions for further study of the social dimension of integration and of the efforts of our economy after the entry into the European economic area (the courses Integration Processes in Europe, and Economic and Social Aspects of the European Union). The study of these issues is therefore conducted in the context of the EU.
