Post-Communist Church-State Settlements in Central Europe: Why Did It Take So Long in the Czech Republic?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Church-state relations were thoroughly altered during the post-communist transition in Central European countries. A settlement between the state and churches typically included restitution of property taken by the communist governments and a reform of church financing. While most countries have adopted a model where the state subsidizes churches, the Czech Republic has chosen a model of complete financial separation between the state and the churches. Also, while most countries reformed the church-state relations in the 1990s, the Czech settlement was only reached in 2012. The paper explains why did it take so long for the Czechs to reach the settlement based on the specific preferences of the Czech population, the median voter theorem and a bargaining theory. In most of the Central European countries the two-dimensional issue of church property restitutions and church subsidies effectively collapsed into a one-dimensional issue of how much the state should support the churches. In the Czech case, where the median voter position would be no restitution and no subsidy, a position that would violate constitutional principles, the settlement was an outcome of negotiation between the government and the churches.
