Abstract (eng)
The first chapters of my diploma thesis describe the mode and the methodology and my personal motivation for the topic.
The thesis is based on the concepts of Nicos Poulantzas. I focus on his theoretical description of the state as an area of different interests.
His understanding of accumulation and the role of state in the enforcement of social formations was important for my diploma thesis.
Based on this concept, I worked out the breaks and continuities in Czech history since 1850.
The economic dynamic of Bohemia and Moravia was impressive. The Czech countries provided goods and raw materials for the industry of Austria-Hungary.
After the collapse of the empire, Czechoslovakia tried to orient to the Western European economies and became one of the most important industrial nations in the 1920ies.
Due to the increasing influence of Nazi-Germany and the annexation of Bohemia and Moravia, the country was again under massive dependence.
After World War II Czechoslovakia got under the influence of Soviet Union. Czechoslovakian economy was more developed and industrialised, than other countries of the communist hemisphere.
Until the 1960ies this way was successful, but after that time, the accumulation within the state socialist countries came into a crises and finally collapsed in 1989.
The phase of transformation was characterized as a way back to Europe.
The political elite of the Czech Republic introduced a conservative model of development. The last highlight for the Czech Republic was the membership in the European Union 2004.
