Antiliberalni obrat ve stredni Evrope vzbudil zivou odbornou diskusi, k niz chce tato kniha prispet novou perspektivou. Nedavny narust neliberalnich politickych tendenci je casto pripisovan tomu, ze v dusledku nedokoncene transformace liberalismus ve Stredni Evrope slabe zakorenil, nebo tomu, ze se populiste obraceji proti svym nekdejsim ucitelum ze Zapadu. Autori teto knihy namisto techto vysvetleni rozpracovavaji prisma kulturnich valek, ktere umoznuje neoddelovat stredni Evropu od globalnich trendu, a zaroven sledovat specifika jejiho vyvoje zejmena po vstupu do Evropske unie. Vsechny stredoevropske zeme prosly po uprchlicke krizi v roce 2015 (a nektere dokonce jeste drive) momenty znacne polarizace. Konflikty o hodnoty, symboly a spolecenske normy poznamenaly vsechny stredoevropske zeme v 21. stoleti napadne podobnym zpusobem. Kulturni spory, jez se artikuluji kolem temat jako jsou identita, gender, suverenita a globalizace, do jiste miry vytesnily nebo prepsaly starsi socioekonomicke stepeni pravice a levice. V nekterych statech jsou polarizujici spory spojeny se nastupem narodniho konzervativismu, s nabozenstvim nebo s traumaty z minulosti, v jinych ma nacionalismus a obrana ,,normalniho sveta” vagnejsi podobu. Kniha se zabyva kulturni politikou v siroce pojate stredni Evrope, v Polsku, Ceske republice, Slovensku, Madarsku, Rakousku a Chorvatsku, analyzuje ruzne formy kulturnich valek po roce 2010 a zkouma jejich politickou logiku.The anti-liberal turn in Central Europe aroused a lively scholarly discussion to which this book wishes to contribute by providing a novel perspective. The recent illiberal upsurge is often ascribed to weakly rooted liberalism in the context of an unfinished transition, or, conversely, to the completion of the transition process in which populists turn against their erstwhile mentors from the West. Without separating Central Europe from global trends, the authors of this book look at a change in the political dynamics of post-accession Central Europe through the prism of the culture wars. Conflicts over values, symbols and social norms have marked the 2010s in strikingly similar ways across Central Europe. To some extent they replace the older, socioeconomic right versus left cleavage, and, at the same time, they highlight topics like gender, identity, sovereignty and globalization. Every Central European country has undergone deeply polarizing episodes in the aftermath of the 2015 refugee crisis, and some even before. In certain nations, these are linked to a strong national-conservative project, to religion or to traumas of the past, but there is no simple pattern. The book studies culturalized politics in a broadly conceived Central Europe – Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria and Croatia – and shows the various forms that culture wars have taken in the 2010s as well as their underlying logic.
