Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

The publication ia an complex report of the prestigious US think tank on the transformation process in the Central and Eastern Europe and in countries of Central Asia. By 2002, shortly before concluding the process of accession negotiations with the EU, the Slovak Republic virtually managed to develop a political and economic system that is compatible with basic parameters of EU member states institutional systems. However, developments which preceded that achievement in the period of 1993 to 1998 were not fully in compliance with general democratization and liberalization trends. The fundamental issue became at that time the struggle for the character of the country s political regime. This struggle was characteristic by the following features: 1) a fierce conflict between top constitutional officials; 2) strong confrontation between parties of the governing coalition and the opposition; throughout its 1994-1998 tenure, the ruling coalition of HZDS (Movement for a Democratic Slovakia), ZRS (Workers Association of Slovakia), SNS (Slovak National Party) repeatedly attempted to weaken opposition political parties through applying various mechanisms of state power and adopting discriminatory measures that virtually made it impossible to reach a consensus regarding the essential issues of domestic political development; 3) preparation, adoption and implementation of legislative initiatives designed to create an environment suitable for a comfortable concentration of the political power in the hands of dominant political forces.
