Česká/Slovenská republika: Srovnání úrovně konzolidace
Czech/Slovak Republic: Comparison of Levels of Consolidation

Summary/Abstract: In May 2004 the political systems of Czechia and Slovakia became part of the European Union. At the constitutional level the consolidation of both countries has significantly progressed. In both countries the intermediate system is being consolidated, with the sole exception of the unstable Slovakian party system. The attitude of informal political actors as well as the general populations is not yet consolidated. However, regression of the consolidation process appears to be unlikely in Slovakia, and barely possible in Czechia. At the same time, it cannot be ruled out that in the long term the transition process in one of these countries (or even in both) will stall on a low consolidation level.
