{"product_id":"9783032264916","title":"Civic and Uncivic Values in the Czech Republic : Value Transformation, Politics, Education, and Gender Equality (2ND)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Czech Republic (also known as Czechia since 2016) has had a troubled post-communist transition, in particular with the ascent of billionaire oligarch Andrej Babi to the office of prime minister of the Czech Republic in 2017, returning in 2015.  The second edition of this book adds chapters on the Catholic Church, sexual minorities, and xenophobia, together with a completely new conclusion and updating to most of the remaining chapters. The authors demonstrate that civic values, such as tolerance, individual rights, respect for the harm principle, the principle of equality, and the rule of law, are key factors in determining whether the Czech Republic will maintain its democracy in the coming years. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART ONE VALUES \u0026amp; THE SYSTEM.- Chapter 1: The Czech Republic:  The challenge of populism - An introduction.- Chapter 2: Civic Values in the Czech Republic in a European context.- Chapter 3: Czech politics at a crossroads?.- PART TWO EDUCATION, MEDIA, \u0026amp; CULTURE.- Chapter 4: \u003cstrong\u003eThe Czech Media Landscape in the Post-Transformation Stage: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRe-nationalization of Oligarchic Ownership Concentration and the Erosion of Public Service Media.- Chapter 5: \u003c\/strong\u003eEquality, Respect, Tolerance?
