abstract
Doc. PhDr. Eva Broklová, CSc., chose as a topic of her contribution “The Problem of Continuity of Democracy as Part of Czech (Czechoslovak) statehood”. Democracy as part of new age modem statehood is defined by the author as follows: 1) as a programme and purpose of Czech politics; 2) as a political system; 3) as a constituting value which is found in the revivals of democracy whenever they were possible. Democracy represents continuity for the author not only when it really exists (as during the period of the First Republic in our country), but also in the sense of persistently striving after it, focusing on it, struggle for it. From this point of view also our democracy is a bearer of continuity which has never been interrupted after 1938 and which had originated a relatively long time before 1918. The author proves continuity in orientation towards democracy and striving after it also by public opinion polls, which were realized whenever it was possible to do so and to publish their results.
