The University of 17 November in Prague. Students from Third World Countries in Czechoslovakia, 1961–1974

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Czechoslovakia’s policy in Africa, Asia and Latin America during the Cold War was not reduced to military and economic cooperation. Hundreds of scholarships were offered to international students to pursue higher education in Czechoslovakia and in 1961 the government established the University of 17th November especially for students from the developing countries. Inspired by the international education policies of the Soviet Union and of Western countries, Prague assumed that this school would train a socialist and Czechoslovak-friendly elite which would occupy key positions in newly-independent countries. This article examines the creation, aims and function of the University of 17th November. It also sheds light on its shortcomings and shows how the change in Czechoslovakia’s policy towards the developing countries led the government to shut down the school in 1974. Still, the article argues that the University of the 17th November embodied Prague’s ambitions for a close relationship with the Third World and had significant legacies on the country’s academic landscape.
