30 years ago in Central Europe the system of real and authoritarian socialism collapsed and in its place entered a liberal democracy married to free market capitalism. In many cases it was the most radical, neoliberal version of this system, which was associated with a huge economic advancement of the few and the loss of many social groups. During the classes we will try to find the answer to the question to what extent the practices of contemporary governments undermining the sense of liberal democracy have a restorative character for those who lost to systemic transformation and whether the new generation of voters in Central Europe is guided by economic motivations at the elections.
The lecture will take place at Jinonice, room 2071 (Building A, University Area Jinonice), 14.00-15.20, Monday, October 14.
The lecture is part of the lecture series Milestones of European historical development in historical and sociological context of the Historical Sociology Department.
Some 30 years ago Central and Eastern Europe passed from state socialism to capitalism and democracy during severe economic perturbations. Democratic "Autumn of Nations" was associated with enormous social optimism. Few were aware, that the reality of the market economy is associated with business cycles, which are inherent in the nature of this type of economy. The aim of the course is to show how economic crises have affected the political instability of new democracies and to what extent the popularity of populist groups is a form of response and rejection of the neoliberal status quo.
The lecture will take place at Jinonice, room 2080 (Building A, University Area Jinonice, U Kříže 8, Praha 5 Jinonice), 17.00-19.00, Tuesday, October 15.
