Czech-American Relations. Shared history, compatibility of attitudes, and the importance of democracy

Original language description

The Czech-American relations are reviewed from the era of the early immigration to America and creation of Czechoslovakia with support from the U.S.A. and Czech Americans. Americans of Czech descent are noted as well as main monuments in the U.S.A. commemorating important Czech personalities. The core of the publication is devoted to the dynamics of mutual relations between the U.S.A. and the Czech Republic from the democratic Velvet Revolution of 1989 till the present time, namely to the honeymoon period and the following phase of disenchantment. Since the author is a political psychologist, special attention is paid to psychology of democracy, to mentalities and attitudes of both countries and to empirical surveys. It is concluded that the quality of future Czech-American relations is well rooted in a positive mutual heritage and potential compatibility of typical national attitudes. Most of all, though, the mutual relations of the Czech Republic and the U.S.A. appear to depend on the quality of democracy in the respective countries. n
