Abstract

The paper systematically reviews ten years of academic literature published from 2014 to 2023 andindexed in the Scopus database to establish the current state-of-the-art on how Central European regional groupsoperate. The review includes 52 publications on six regional cooperation formats: the Central European DefenceCooperation, the Slavkov/Austerlitz Triangle, the Salzburg Forum, the Three Seas Initiative, the Visegrád Groupand the Bucharest Nine. The paper finds that regional cooperation research is very concentrated on selectedaspects of Visegrád cooperation and follows poor methodological reporting practices. The majority of studiesanalyse the V4 in relation to migration and foreign policy issues, whereas research on cooperation dynamics inother policy areas and within other active regional groups is marginal. After identifying promising future researchdirections, the paper calls for greater methodological and topical diversity in Central European regionalcooperation research.
