Comment on Chapter 5

Kai Konrad

A chapter in Welfare States in Transition, 1999, pp 137-139 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The possibility of extremist parties gaining power is certainly a major threat for any economy undergoing dramatic changes in its economic institutions. Professor Turnovcc’s chapter focuses on Czech attitudes to social policy issues (education, health insurance and other social policy). It first identifies the key elements in the political system of the Czech Republic, discusses the positions of its major parties on major issues and reviews the outcomes of recent elections. This part of the chapter is a very valuable summary of politics in the Czech Republic in recent years.
