Nobody talks about the "Czech miracle" anymore except with irony,
and no longer can anyone refer to Slovakia as "a hole in the map of
Europe." Times have changed rapidly and explanation has lagged far
behind. Elected Affinities is the first book-length project to
account for the startling differences in the course of
democratization in Slovakia and the Czech Republic during the
1990s. The book uses the natural experiment created by
Czechoslovakia's dissolution to explore why some new democracies
succeed and why some (nearly) fail. The comparison offers new
insights into the inner workings of political parties and
governments in postcommunist countries, and into the complex
relationships among nationalism, economic reform, and political
accountability in democracies, both new and old.
