The Czech And Slovak Republics

This clear, objective introduction to the politics of Czechoslovakia and the successor Czech and Slovak republics builds a framework for understanding the dynamics of the "triple transition": democratization, marketization, and a national transformation that has reconfigured the dynamic between state and nation. Offering a valuable case study of a country coming back to Europe, the book's strong comparative element will make it invaluable to those seeking to understand the dynamics of transition in the region as a whole.
