Transformation, soziale Unsicherheit und der Aufstieg der Nationalkonservativen Kontrastfälle aus Zentralosteuropa

Abstract

In both Poland and Slovakia, national conservative parties have recently formed or at least have been included in government. In contrast, national conservatism does not play a significant role in the Czech Republic where political life is polarised between national liberalism and left-wing parties. Reasons for the different trajectories can be found in differing transformation strategies and the role of progressive parties in these strategies.
