This volume provides a comprehensive overview of Czech politics, past and present. The authors not only cover the main political developments of the past two centuries, they also situate the current political system in the context of communist and pre-communist legacies. They argue that amidst the dramatic changes of the Velvet Revolution, one can find a plethora of continuities in culture and institutions that help to explain the shape of Czech politics today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Czech politics has so far been the subject of numerous books and articles that, nevertheless, tend to focus either on specific segments of the Czech politics (e.g. parties and the party systems, features and functions of the political system, particular policies, public opinion, etc.), or on the general description of the political developments. However, these accounts fail to provide the full story of the Czech politics \u2013 the political system of the country is just a part of a broader picture, of a narrative that consists of the historical realities but also of the myths, self-perceptions, and ideas of the Czech identity. This book intends to recount the story.<\/p>\n

On this basis, the book elaborates the major sectors of the political transformation of the Czech Republic in the last 25 years without resorting to a mundane presentation of well-known data; rather, it aspires to show how the recent developments in all these sectors are interwoven with the long-term process of (re-)creating the Czech identity and self-perception, and that they develop in such a way that makes it possible to understand them as interdependent elements of a great narrative of the fundamental features of the Czech politics.<\/p>\n
