Slovakia’s Surge: The New System’s Impact on Fiscal Decentralization

Phillip J. Bryson

Chapter Chapter 11 in The Economics of Centralism and Local Autonomy, 2010, pp 187-208 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Well into its economic transition, the Slovak Republic has only recently begun to diverge in substantive ways from a path of joint development with the Czech Republic. Although the two countries shared a lot of common experience through the central planning era and even into the transition period up to the Velvet Divorce of 1993, subtle but durable differences going back to the period before World War I have remained a part of their diverse cultures. In the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Czechs had developed a more industrial and centralized society than the Slovaks, whose associations during that period were with the Hungarians.
