A History of Czech Economic Thought Antonie Doležalová Series: The Routledge History of Economic Thought The Czech Republic has suffered from significant discontinuity in its historical development, but its economic thinking has not until now been subject to a full analysis. This book offers a history of Czech economic thought from the late Middle Ages to the present. It traces methodological developments and the relationship between economics and politics, and introduces pioneering figures in the field, those whose lives and careers were thwarted by history, as well as Czech exile thinkers. The study considers which branches of theory have had the greatest influence on Czech thought, and explores the relationship between Czech economic thinking and wider schools of thought.

Unlike many narratives about the Czech lands, which place them on the periphery of their own history, this study considers Czechs as central characters, looking both east and west to find their place in the early modern world. Lisy-Wagner introduces sources that are new to English-language historiography and uses them in a way that is new to Czech historiography as well.

The Czech Republic, South Africa and Chile George Lawson Straightforward histories of post-revolution States have all too often failed to provide sufficient context to rescue revolution, both as concept and practice, from the misplaced triumphalism of the contemporary world. In Negotiated Revolutions George Lawson marks a definitive departure in the study of radical political and socio-economic change, presenting a unique comparative analysis of three transformations from authoritarian rule to market democracy. Through the lens of international sociology the book critically considers the large scale processes of social and political revolution, bringing three apparently distinct transformations, from seemingly disparate authoritarian regimes and geographies, under a common rubric. With unique and novel conceptual analysis the book accurately locates both the potential and actuality of radical change in contemporary world affairs, processes usually mistakenly subsumed under the general framework of 'transitology'.

Promoting National Priorities in EU Foreign Policy
The Czech Republic
The Czech Republic’s Foreign Policy in the EU
A Nation of Velvet
Tomas Weiss Series: Routledge Advances in European Politics
Rick Fawn Series: Postcommunist States and Nations
This cross-policy comparison of the behaviour of Czech Republic’s representatives in the Council and the methods they use to influence the decision-making applies categorisation from lobbying literature to analyse the behaviour of the member state’s representatives and contributes to two strands of scholarship on European Union politics - decision-making in the EU and Europeanization. The book maps the methods of interest promotion that can be used by a member state and analyses the differences in interest promotion across external policy areas.
In separate chapters on history, politics, economics, foreign relations and the new Czech identity, this book not only applauds the successes of the Czech Republic since 1993, but also uncovers the frayed edges of the velvet nation.

The Optimum Imperative: Czech Architecture for the Socialist Lifestyle, 1938–1968 Ana Miljacki, MIT, USA Series: Architext The Optimum Imperative examines the multiple ways that architecture was entangled within the problem of Socialist lifestyle in Czechoslovakia. It focuses on how the Czech architectural field engaged the question of Socialist lifestyle both as a narrative framework and a historical goal. Without sanitizing the story of its absurd contortions in discourse and in daily life, the book takes as its subject the complex and dynamic relationships between Cold War politics, state power, disciplinary legitimating narratives, and Czech architects’ optimism for Socialism.
