The Relationship between the Czech and Slovak Republics after the Dissolution of their Common State
Research question/goal:
The project investigates the exact causes and reasons for the peaceful division of Czechoslovakia. It is assumed that the beginning of the democratization process facilitated a division between Czechs and Slovaks, contrary to all opinion poll results. A follow-up project analyses the construction of bilateral relations between the new states in view of their continuing transformation and integration in NATO and EU.
