Full title :Irreconcilable differences? : explaining Czechoslovakia's dissolution / edited by Michael Kraus & Allison K. Stanger.

Summary

"This volume brings together a multi-disciplinary group of scholars as well as Czech and Slovak decisionmakers who were personally involved in the events leading up to the separation of Czechoslovakia. Asking whether the dissolution was inevitable, the contributors bring a range of different approaches and perspectives to bear on the twin problems of democratic transitions in multinational societies and ethnic separatism and its origins. The volume systematically explores such factors as the legacies of communism, the role of political elites, international influences, constitutional deadlock, regional economic disparities, the absence of unifying political parties, and the role of the mass media. The blend of analysis and insider experiences will make this book invaluable for all concerned with nationalism and ethnicity, democratization, and transitions in Eastern Europe."--BOOK JACKET.
