Bachelor thesis „Authoritarian regime in Czechoslovakia in 1968“ analyzes
reform period of the 1968 Prague Spring in relation to the typology of
authoritarian regimes developed by Juan J. Linz. Bachelor thesis describes
Linz's typology while focused on Democratizing and pluralistic
authoritarianism, important moments of the Prague Spring and, in particular,
pluralist tendencies in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic during the Prague
Spring. Bachelor thesis deals with the common features of the Prague Spring and
Democratizing and pluralistic authoritarianism and whether the scheme satisfies
the conditions for inclusion.
Summary
In 1967 first larger conflict was revealed between the reformist and
conservative wings within the party. The disputes led to the election of Dubcek
as a CPC's first secretary in January 1968. The changes that followed
Dubcek's election as a party leader, can be characterized as a transition to an
authoritarian regime. The whole system should lead to democracy. But the
so-called democratization process failed to prevail. Democratization was a
notional intention already during the Prague Spring (nickname of the reform
period in Czechoslovakia). The registration of new parties was promised but in
practice it did not work. As an example can be set the KAN, which was not
approved after 30days of the request and gave it a sort of semi-legal status.
KAN members could meet, be engaged in political discussion, criticize the party,
but could not participate in the elections. This and other aspects are to show
that pluralism existed but only to a limited extent. The only option for
political participation remained through the National Front. Even there was a
law on electoral competition between candidates of the Communist Party. Despite
these changes, democratization has not been achieved. When we apply
Linz's typology of the regime in this form, we can conclude that the typology
is almost identical with the regime.
