Post-Communist Era: Atmosphere of Victory or of Lost Illusions?
English Pages, 2. 9. 2002
Almost 13 years have passed since the collapse of communism in the Czech Republic and in other Central and East European countries. No one can deny that we have quite rapidly succeeded in liquidating the formal structures and mechanisms of the communist society and in establishing the basic stage of the European version of the system of parliamentary democracy and market economy. This is, on the one hand, not a bad result. My question is, however, whether it is exactly what we – or some of us – really wanted. Whether we are building free society based on classical liberal principles or whether we have fallen into the blind alley of a regulated society, of an unproductive welfare state, of a brave new world of contemporary European socialdemocratism and of an empty and artificial Europeanism (or internationalism).
Notes for the Independence Day Speech
English Pages, 4. 7. 2002
Mr. Ambassador, Ladies and Gentlemen I am personally honoured to be asked to say a few words on behalf of the Czechs who are here today. We are, all of us, honoured by being here together with our American friends celebrating the 226th Independence Day of the United States of America.
Vaclav Klaus speaks with The Prague Post
English Pages, 13. 5. 2002
About the June election, defending Czech interests, criticizing the European Union, tangling with President Vaclav Havel, and other topics.
Czech Republic at the Gates of EU
English Pages, 4. 3. 2002
Discussing Europe in March 2002, two parallel, directly non-connected issues should be analytically strictly distinguished. The first one is the discussion of the process of the European integration itself, of its forms, its speed, its phases, its costs and benefits, its spontaneous character and/or its political constructivism. The second one is the discussion of the possibilities of a small country, located in the heart of Europe, which was out of this process for half a century, to rationally participate in it. This is the issue of enlargement.
The Eurodebate Today: Liberalizing the European Continent or Re-Regulating It?
English Pages, 18. 1. 2002
When discussing Europe in January 2002, two parallel, directly non-connected issues should be strictly distinguished. The first issue is the discussion of the process of the European integration itself, of its forms, its speed, its phases, its costs and benefits, its spontaneous character and/or its political constructivism. The second issue is the discussion of the possibilities of a small country, located in the heart of Europe, which was out of this process for half a century, to rationally participate in it. To openly discuss both issues is rather difficult, especially for a politician, because we do not live in the world of a free, unbiased, non-aprioristic academic debate. We do live, on the contrary, in the era of dominance of one view which succeeded in caricaturing all other views as wrong, reactionary, nationalistic and undemocratic. This is very unpleasant and unproductive.
Economic and Political Trends in the Czech Republic
English Pages, 21. 11. 2001
Right now, it is exactly 12 years after the collapse of communism in the Czech Republic as well as in other Central and Eastern European countries. We ask, of course, ourselves permanently whether we used this period fully, in an optimal way, or whether much more could have been in this period achieved. My answer is that we have already succeeded in creating something like a basic stage of the system of parliamentary democracy and market economy and in liquidating all structures and mechanisms of the former communist society. This is a good achievement.
The Value of Transparency in Conducting Monetary Policy: Czech Experience
English Pages, 12. 10. 2001
My remarks reflect more my political experience during the last decade after the fall of communism in my country and elsewhere than any well-defined theoretical position.
The Role of the Press during both the Liberation and the Post-Communist Reconstruction of the Czech Republic
English Pages, 1. 10. 2001
It is for me a rather unusual topic and I do not pretend to be an expert in this very special field. You are supposed to be the experts. But I accepted the title suggested by the organizers of your congress and shall try to make a few remarks regarding this topic.
European Union and Its Enlargement
English Pages, 20. 9. 2001
The recent tragic events in America suggest many things and raise many questions but there is no doubt that we have to look at world (and European) issues and problems more deeply and more sharply than in the past. We should not be satisfied with their old fashionable, comfortable, superficial and - very often - wrong and misleading interpretations.
Back to Europe or Avanti into the European Union
English Pages, 11. 9. 2001
The formation as well as the development of the European Union in the second half of the 20th century is a special case of the contemporary globalization and integration processes. It belongs to the prevailing trends and tendencies but it contains something specific – I see it in its dominant political aspect!
