The Central European Experience of War and Peace: The Nonviolent Czech Case

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Central Europe, a crossroad of ethnicities and past empires, is a region rich in culture but also in violent history, conflicts, and wars. Remarkably, the Czechs, a nation who lived in its very center, throughout the modern history did not escalate international conflicts but rather subdued them. This chapter describes the prevalently nonviolent ways in which the Czechs (and Czechoslovaks) faced such events as: the foundation of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918, its dismemberment during the Munich crisis in 1938, the Nazi occupation in 1939, the Communist[ putsch in 1948, the democratization attempts during the Prague Spring in 1968, its shattering by the Soviet led occupation in August 1968, the Velvet Revolution in 1989, and finally, the division of Czechoslovakia in 1992. The chapter discusses peaceful strategies in situations of asymmetrical and symmetrical conflict, non-violent resistance, creative coping, but also compliance and conformity. It concludes that modernity, secularism, humanism, civility, hypo-nationalism, and democratic spirit promote non-violent conflict resolution.
