Book synopsis

The image of the Czechs as a poster child of democratization has changed into a crisis narrative in recent years. This edited volume offers explanations for this change and examines the suitability of these theories to explain developments in Czech democracy. The contributors, all renowned experts in their fields, offer well-founded and compact insights into the post-1989 Czech political system. They cover political institutions and parties; civil society; the media; and selected policy areas such as foreign, economic, migration and regional policy. The book takes into account processes of democratization and Europeanization, explaining the political picture at various stages of development. Finding that many of today's problems-fragmented political parties, government instability, inefficient state administration and low quality of governance-have not been new developments but have constantly existed, the authors present a plea for theoretical adjustments that should be read by all academics, students, practitioners and readers with an interest in Czech politics and society.
