| Abstract: | The bachelor thesis Theoretical conceptions of Czechoslovak transformation: Factors that influenced the creation of transformation strategy focuses on the Czechoslovak economic transformation in the early 1990s and describes the process of creating the Czechoslovak transformation strategy. The thesis answers the question of whether the selected topics and their discussions conducted on the pages of the scientific journal Politická ekonomie were reflected in the final transformation strategy and the implemented reform measures between the years 1991–93. The topics of labor productivity and economic growth, imbalance, price system and price liberalization were chosen for the analysis. First, the thesis focuses on the descriptive analysis of the journal's articles from 1989–93 that discuss selected topics, and maps in detail the development of their content and the opinions of their authors. In the following chapter, the thesis compares findings from the descriptive analysis with measures presented in the final Czechoslovak transformation scenario and with the practical policy in 1991–93. Based on the comparison, the thesis concludes that in the case of the topic of imbalance, the opinions of the authors coincided with the planned measures and there is, therefore, a possibility that a discussion of the strategy makers with experts took place. On the subject of price liberalization, the thesis came to the opposite conclusion. The concept of price liberalization presented by the reformers differed from the opinions of the journal’s authors, and in this case, the mutual discussion probably did not take place. Even during 1991–93, the authors' opinions on price liberalization did not change, and the entire shock concept of transformation was criticized on the pages of the journal. |
