THE CZECH REPUBLIC DEFENCE STRATEGIES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND QULITATIVE ASSESSMENT

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

For almost three decades the Czech Republic (CZR) has been facing various challenges in defence stemming both from evolving strategic environment and national context. Objective of this contribution is to assess quality of key strategic level defence policy documents. In theory, strategy is one of the main strategic management instruments for addressing defence challenges by defining defence policy objectives (ends), outlining framework (ways) for defence provision (main principles and initiatives) and resources (means) available for their successful implementation. This paper is based on comparative analysis of selected strategic level documents in area of defence adopted by the government of the CZR since 1997. Critical findings:(1) the CZR Government adopted strategies frequently; (2) main impetus for that effort provided NATO integration, slushing resources and gradual deterioration of security environment; (3) the CZR strategies might be characterised rather as reactive, short-term looking concepts communicating general statements and principles, outlining mainly strategic level objectives and initiatives, not providing sufficient and stable resourcing (with exception of 2017 Strategy), not delegating responsibilities and not setting biding implementation framework. Improvement of the CZR strategies requires more political commitments to turn them in real strategic management tools and enhanced expertise of all stakeholders involved in their elaboration.
