25/11/2025 - Japanese FDI in the Post-war Period
The Department of Asian Studies cordially invites to a public lecture titled "Japanese FDI in the Post-war Period".This lecture examines trends of Japan‘s FDI and external economic policies in the post-war period into the following four phases: 1) 1950s-1960s, 2) 1970s-early 1980s, 3) mid-1980s-1990s, and 4) after 2000. Particularly, since the mid-1980s, the Japanese economy has globalised by replacing its export strategy with foreign direct investment. Consequently, Japan has become one of the leading investors in the world.

V rámci novinářského certifikátu natáčejí ve druhém a třetím ročníku vlastní reportáže.

Digital Extremism and Emerging Threats: Insights from Expert Lectures at MUP
5. 5. 2026 Author: Oldřich Bureš
In April 2026, the Center for Security Studies and the Department of International Relations and European Studies at Metropolitan University Prague hosted thought-provoking lectures examining the evolving landscape of violent extremism. Delivered by Sean McCafferty and Adam Hanzel, both Marie Skłodowska-Curie GLOCTER Project PhD fellows, the sessions explored how terrorist actors exploit the digital environment and how new, harder-to-define forms of extremism are reshaping traditional security frameworks. Together, the lectures offered students a comprehensive look at both the online dynamics of contemporary terrorism and the emerging challenges posed by accelerationist and nihilistic violent extremist movements.
