Routledge - The New Right in the New Europe Book

Explore the complex political landscape of post-communist Eastern Europe with this academic study from Routledge. This book examines the rise of center-right parties following the fall of communism, with a specific focus on the Czech Republic. Even though the Czech Republic holds strong social democratic traditions, it also became home to the region's most durable free-market right party through Vaclav Klaus' Civic Democratic Party (ODS). Author Sean Hanley analyzes the various forms of right-wing politics that appeared across the continent. The text provides a detailed look at the origins of the Czech neo-liberal right and how these political movements shaped the nation during a period of massive transition. This volume is part of the BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the political evolution of Eastern Europe from 1989 to 2006.
