Maggiori informazioni sul libro
As the clock struck midnight on December 31, 1992, Czechoslovakia, the only genuine democracy in post-World War I Central-Eastern Europe, split into two independent states. This book delves into the failed search for a postcommunist constitution and captures a unique instance of a peaceful resolution to an ethnic dispute. For over three years following the fall of the Communist regime in 1989, the Czechs and Slovaks negotiated the terms of a new relationship to replace the centralized federation established under communism. After failing to reach an agreement on a new union, they opted for an orderly breakup. The narrative raises critical questions about the sources of ethnic conflict and the impact of nationalism. It examines why ethnic groups pursue secession and what conditions foster peaceful separations. Additionally, it discusses the factors that shape postcommunist constitutional negotiations amidst institutional and societal transformations. Eric Stein, a noted scholar of comparative law and a native of Czechoslovakia, was invited by the government to aid in drafting a new constitution. This work is informed by his experiences during the negotiations, interviews with political figures, journalists, and academics, as well as extensive research in primary documents. It will resonate with historians, lawyers, social scientists, and general readers interested in Eastern Europe's transformation and the study of ethnic
