ABSTRACT

Until recently, social policy has been overshadowed by other political issues and it has only come to full public prominence during the last three years. The Czech population is thus beginning to include social policy into its explicit and pronounced political stances. Egalitarian ethos and limited space for political consensus suggest that the past inertness will not be replaced by radical change. Therefore even recalibrations may begin a decisive shift. That makes today’s Czech social policy outstanding.
