From Palacký to Babiš

This publication by authors from Masaryk University in Brno presents a concentrated look at the present and past of Czech politics. It captures the key developmental trends of recent decades and centuries and analyses how politics and the political system are influenced by the legacy of both the communist and pre-communist eras. The authors strongly reflect the fact that the dramatic changes of the Velvet Revolution and the subsequent years contain numerous connections that help to explain the current state of our politics.
