Among the Hussites, Communists, and Neo-Liberals. Christian Democratic Political Actors in Communist Czechoslovakia and the Democratic Transition

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter focuses of the development of Christian Democratic politics in Czechoslovakia during the Communist totalitarian period and also influcence of Christian Democratic political actors on the democratic transition in the country. The chapter answers on four research questions: 1) To what extent did the Communist regime use pre-existing anti-Catholic and radical atheist sentiments in Czech society to aggressively displace the Christian democratic – and, more to the point, clerical – political movement from official politics?; 2) Was there any continuity in terms of ideology and/or personnel within Christian democratic political groups in the country between 1948 and 1989? 3) Were there any important differences between the separate parts and regions of Czechoslovakia, i.e. between the Czech and Slovak parts of the country and society? Were there any aspects of Moravia that might make it a significant player in Christian democratic politics? 4) How did Christian democratic groups formed before 1989 influence the transition and subsequent development of the new democratic regime in Czechoslovakia? What impact have these surviving groups had on the two independent states – the Czech Republic and Slovakia – that were established in 1992?
