"Der Tscheche Věněk Šilhan sagt heutigen Lesern in Deutschland meist nichts. Er hat als Ökonom mehrere Bücher und gewichtige Aufsätze verfasst. Auf dem berühmten Parteitag der KPTsch in Prag-Vysočany, der sich der militärischen Okkupation am 21. August 1968 widersetzte, wurde er in Abwesenheit des internierten Alexander Dubček zum geschäftsführenden Ersten Sekretär des ZK gewählt. Dadurch ist er zu einer der Symbolfiguren des Prager Frühlings geworden."

Modern capitalism is not singular. There are varieties of capitalism in the contemporary world. This thesis aims to apply the Varieties of Capitalism approach developed by Hall and Soskice (2001) to the case of the Czech Republic and ascertain whether the Czech market economy is approaching a liberal or a coordinated ideal type defined by these authors. At the same time, such findings might provide an answer to whether the Varieties of Capitalism approach designed for advanced industrialized economies is fully applicable for analysis of a post-socialist country that underwent a complicated process of economic and institutional transformation.

In the following work, I intend to illuminate the importance of the lives and the works of Václav Havel and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. I have chosen to employ a multi-disciplinary approach - one that will include elements of political philosophy, educational theory, cultural theory, and literary criticism. I will analyze and compare their works, the convergence and divergence of their views, their shared emphasis on the theme of the 'ideological lie', and the lack of an alternative view in Post-Communist societies. I will demonstrate that their philosophical framework is not fundamentally or properly understood by the archaic dialectic between capitalism and communism that has shaped academic discourse for the last two centuries. For that reason, their works and central themes are still relevant; indeed the conceptual framework they have constructed can help illuminate the continued struggles faced by 21st century global society.

Since economic transition began in many Central East European Countries (CEECs) nine to ten years ago, a number of significant features of development have emerged in relation to changes within CEEC forest sectors. These include changes in ownership of both the forest resource and the forest industry, in forest policy and legislation, and in the production, consumption, trade and marketing of forest products. The objective of this thesis is to analyse recent and prospective forest sector developments in Central Europe, and to consider the implications of these developments on the economy, society, and environment of three Central European study countries (Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary), and on Central and Eastern Europe as a whole. Policy analysis is carried out through a review of forest sector policies and way in which these policies developed during the second half of the twentieth century. Based on the content of new Forest Acts, a description of current policy and an analysis of the implications of new policies is undertaken. Institutional analysis evaluate the extent to which the state has retreated from its original roles and the private sector has emerged to take on an increased role within the sector. Product market analysis is undertaken through the construction of a forest sector scenario model which projects future levels of production, consumption, import and export of seven forest products, at 5-year intervals, to the year 2050. Projections are made under three scenarios, based on differing rates of future economic growth. In the three study countries, the forest sector has adapted rapidly to the market economy system. New forest policies have been quickly developed and implemented to address the different circumstances in which the sector is in. A well managed forest resource supplies quality raw timber to a modernised and growing processing sector, which in turn is producing an increasingly wide range of timber products to growing domestic and international markets.
