Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

1. International political context: the policy of détente and the simultaneous continuation of the methods of the cold war, balance of the nuclear deterrence, the entanglement of big powers in local and regional conflicts, mutual respect for the existing spheres of influence and the status quo; cultural, social and intellectual changes in Europe in the crisis-year of 1968.
2. Inner politics in Czechoslovakia: economic crisis, national tensions and Slovakia´s striving for federalism, search for political freedom, inner-party splits.
3. The year 1968 in Czechoslovakia: between limited attempts of reform under the direction of the communist party and the high expectations of the population.
4. The intervention of the Warsaw Pact in August 1968.
5. Results and consequences: success of the “Realists”, federalism, normalisation, social disciplining by a mixture of persecution and social corruption.

Assessment and permitted materials

Regular presence and continual active cooperation, oral presentation of a paper, test lectures in school, written seminar paper.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The Course has the goal to analyse the reform attempts in Czechoslovakia in 1968 in the context of the international political, economic, cultural and social developments, to convey didactic skills on this example and to test them in practice.

Examination topics

The students should be introduced to the main questions of current historical research and scientific narratives. The course should make the student capable to recognize the historical dimension of the phenomena of the present, to procede by means of structural analysis, contextualisation and reflection of historical continuities and discontinuities, to learn skills to convey the sensibility and the understanding of questions of contemporary history to pupils at school.
