The long and successful reign of Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus and
his Civic Democratic Party ended in November 1997 with the collapse
of the coalition that had kept him in power. This collapse was the
result of a worsening economy, several financial scandals, and
political dissention within the coalition. After new elections were
held in June 1998, the Czech Social Democratic Party formed a
minority government with Milos Zeman as prime minister, bringing a
leftist party to power for the first time since 1989. The Zeman
government had its problems as well, particularly in the area of
censorship and personal rights, but Zeman was able to win
reelection in 2002 since the economy had rebounded in 2001. Klaus,
whose Civic Democratic Party failed to retake power in the
parliamentary election, was elected president in 2003, striking a
blow to the government of the Social Democratic Party. The Czech
Republic became a full member of NATO in 1999 and has been invited
to join the European Union by 2004. The Czech Republic, Second
Edition takes a close look at historical and recent events to
provide up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the Czech
Republic's recent history. This updated and revised edition
chronicles the history of this country and examines current
political, economic, and cultural developments. Accessible, up to
date, and reliable, it is a great starting point for students and
general readers interested in learning more about the Czech
Republic and its people.
