"Small, but Ours": The Czech Features of Authoritarian Methods of Governance : Charles University in Prague Faculty of Law Research Paper No. 2020/I/3

Abstract

In the paper author will show the changes in the constitutional rule of law system of the Czech Republic from the inside to provide readers the relevant information accompanied by a critical analysis of the domestic context. I argue that we should certainly not be appeased by the fact that in other Central European countries the dismantling of constitutional democracy is at a much more advanced stage, for the steps are taken slowly and usually tend to be difficult to identify at the beginning.
