1989: The Promise of Democracy in Czechoslovakia

As some of you know, I am doing my MA at McGill University in Montreal and my thesis is on the emergence and crisis of democracy in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (the successor states of Czechoslovakia, following 1993).

For the past four months, I have had the great fortune to read a number of insightful books on democracy in the region. One of them is by my supervisor, professor James Krapfl, whose book Revolution with a Human Face, portrays a unique revisionist picture of the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia.
