  • Czechoslovakia and Western Europe in the Long 1970S
    Czechoslovakia and Western Europe in the long 1970s Pavel Szobi (European University Institute) Introduction The aim of this paper is to define the positions of Czechoslovakia towards the cooperation, (more specifically in trade and business) with Western Europe on the example of the relations with the European Economic Community in the 1970s. To define the base of its approach towards foreign trade, cooperation agreements, licences or direct investments, the first part of the paper will define the institutions and elites responsible for the foreign policy in the period of the normalization process. The case study in the second part of the paper will deal with the Czechoslovak economic foreign interests in relation to the EEC. It is not my quest to offer an overall analysis of the ČSSR-EEC relations. At this point, it is rather meant to be a contribution to the recent state of knowledge, based on an extensive research in Czech and Slovak archival materials. Ideology of normalization and the national factor after 1968 Czech historian Jan Rychlík summed up quite aptly the general situation in Czechoslovakia after 1968, „The normalization elite theoretically still based its legitimacy on the grounds of the ‘Victorious February’ in 1948, but in reality it based its power on the effects of the Soviet occupation, and was therefore illegitimate in the public’s understanding. At the same time, the absolute majority of the population considered even in this period the basic socio-economic changes, which had commenced in Czechoslovakia after 1948, to be permanent. Almost nobody really doubted the centrally planned economy or the nationalization of the production means or even considered the possibility of their privatisation.

  • European Socialist Regimes' Fateful Engagement
    European Socialist Regimes’ Fateful Engagement with the West This edited volume analyses European socialist countries’ strategy of engagement with the West and the European Economic Community in the “long 1970s”. The book focuses on a time when the socialist regimes of Central and Eastern Europe banked their hopes for prosperity and stability on enhanced relations with the West. Crossing the traditional differences among diverse fields of historiography, it assesses the complex influence of European and global processes of transformation on the socialist elites’ reading of the international political and economic environment and their consequent decision-making. The volume also explores the debate in each country among and within the elites involved in policymaking as they elaborated this strategic view and coped with shortcomings and unexpected turns. A comparative analysis of national cases shows a shared logic and common patterns, together with national variations and a plurality of views on the desirability of exchanges with their capitalist neighbours and on the ways to promote them. The multinational coverage of seven countries makes this volume a starting point for anyone interested in each socialist state’s foreign policy, intra-bloc relations, economic strategy, transformation and collapse, relations with the European Community and access to the EU. This book will be of much interest to students and researchers of Cold War studies, European history, and international relations. Angela Romano is Lecturer of International Political Economy, University of Glasgow, UK. Federico Romero is Professor of Post-War European Cooperation and Integration, and Dean of Research at the European University Institute, Italy.
