This book considers the emergence of centre right parties in
Eastern Europe following the fall of communism, focusing primarily
on the case of the Czech Republic. Although the country with the
strongest social democratic traditions in Eastern Europe, the Czech
Republic also produced the region's strongest and most durable
party of the free market right in Vaclav Klaus' Civic Democratic
Party (ODS). Sean Hanley considers the different varieties of
right-wing politics that emerged in post-communist Europe,
exploring in particular detail the origins of the Czech neo-liberal
right, tracing its genesis to the reactions of dissidents and
technocrats to the collapse of 1960s reform communism. He argues
that, rather than being shaped by distant historical legacies, the
emergence of centre-right parties can best be understood by
examining the responses of counter-elites, outside or marginal to
the former communist party-state establishment, to the collapse of
communism and the imperatives of market reform and decommunization.
This volume goes on to consider the emergence of right-wing forces
in the disintegrating Civic Forum movement in 1990, the foundation
of the ODS, the right's period in office under Klaus in 1992-97,
and its subsequent divisions and decline. It concludes by analyzing
the ideology of the Czech Right, and its growing euroscepticism.
