Religion and post-communist transition are two of the many issues that have earned attention of economists and social scientist in the recent decades. This dissertation collects three papers dealing with different issues concerning religion and the transition. The first one attempts to assess the role of religion in the transition and its impact on country's success in this process; it also outlines opportunities for research in this field. The second paper tries to uncover the role of religion in formation of economic and social attitudes of the people in post-communist countries. Both papers conclude that religion matters; Western Christianity appears to be more compatible with market economy than Orthodox Christianity and Islam, although these two religions are not necessarily an obstacle. Finally, the third paper deals with religious participation in post-communist countries. It shows that religious behavior is not completely independent of economic conditions and religious revivals in the post-communist era can be interpreted in economic terms.
Double rebirth. The Czechoslovak people´s arty 1989-1992
Gjuričová, Adéla
The text depicts the ways in which the Czechoslovak People’s Party (ČSL) formulated, re-told, or otherwise dealt with its own past within the socialist dictatorship and the communist past in general. It is suggested that the rhetorical figure of „party rebirth“ made it possible to leave out the fourty years‘ collaborationist existence and to tie the post-1989 democratic phase directly to pre-1948 ČSL. Yet another rebirth under Josef Lux left out even the leaders of the first rebirth, including Josef Bartončík and the scandal of his cooperation with the secret police. However, both of the turns have built on the idea of a „healthy undercurrent“ of the ordinary party members that carry on the party’s „real identity“ whatever the time and regime.
