  • Terry Cox: An Appreciation

    Martin Myant•ARTICLE•Europe Asia Studies•2020•References: 5

    Open Access•Martin Myant•CHAPTER•Palgrave Dictionary of Emerging…•2015

    The former state socialist countries of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union have been transformed into capitalist systems, albeit with substantial differences among them and from advanced capitalist systems elsewhere. The value of an institutional approach has gained recognition as neoclassical economics proved a poor guide to forms of economic development and performance. Defining these capitalisms has followed three broad routes. One follows Po…

  • Labour’s legal resources after 2004: The role of the European Union

    This article investigates the influence of the European Union (EU) on legal resources available to labour to tackle labour market challenges in Central and Eastern European countries after their accession to the EU in 2004 and 2007. Its conclusion is that the EU’s impact has been complex and contradictory, with differences between countries and time periods. The EU has to varying degrees encouraged social partnership and supported a model of empl…

  • The Political Economy of Crisis Management in East–Central European Countries

    Martin Myant, Jan Drahokoupil et al.•ARTICLE•Europe Asia Studies•2013•Cited by: 10•References: 4

    The financial and economic crisis in the Central and East European countries raised the profile of economic policy themes that relate to the role of taxation and state spending. The key policy differences related to public budgets and support for a demand stimulus. Responses fall broadly into two categories that we link to a social-democratic and a neo-liberal response. The distinction indicates that the policy responses were linked to the party …

    Martin Myant, Jan Drahokoupil•ARTICLE•Europe Asia Studies•2012•Cited by: 16•References: 3

    This article offers a comprehensive analysis of the different effects of the economic crisis from 2008, across all transition economies with a testable framework, that relates vulnerability to specific forms of development since 1989. The key to the framework is the identification of forms of integration into the international economy, with distinctions between different export structures and dependence on other sources of foreign-currency earnin…

  • Trade Union Influence in the Czech Republic since 1989

    Open Access•Martin Myant•ARTICLE•Czech Sociological Review•2010•Cited by: 3•References: 1

    Trade unions in the Czech Republic have experienced a steady decline in membership and, albeit less markedly, in bargaining coverage since the early 1990s, but much less decline in political influence. An assessment of the extent of their overall ability to influence society's development requires a division into three spheres: business, employment relations, and the state budget. Strength in one sphere is found to influence strength in others. T…

  • International Integration and the Structure of Exports in Central Asian Republics

    Martin Myant, Jan Drahokoupil•ARTICLE•Eurasian Geography and Economics•2008•References: 2

    Two European political economists examine the restructuring of external relations of the Central Asian republics (CARs) after the disintegration of the Soviet Union by focusing on the structures of exports based on evidence provided by past balances of payments and trade data disaggregated at a relatively high level. The authors' investigation identifies shifts in the commodity composition of exports since the CARs' independence, both in terms of…

  • Les gouvernements sociaux-démocrates et la variété de capitalisme en République tchèque

    Social Democrats in Government and the Variety of Capitalism in the Czech Republic Social Democrats dominated the Czech government from 1998 to 2006. Their impact on the type of capitalism in that country is analysed with an adaptation of established approaches to varieties of capitalism. Vaguely defined neo-liberal and social-democratic trends reached an implicit compromise after 1989, but economic difficulties led to a reopening of basic questi…

    This contribution aims to set the development of Czech capitalism against the frameworks developed by Hall and Soskice and Amable. The conclusion is that, although the general approach of looking for different kinds of capitalism is extremely fruitful, it is neither possible nor helpful to try to classify the Czech experience within an established model. The nature and significance of the relationships between business, labour relations and socia…

  • Economic transformation in the Czech Republic—a qualified success

    Martin Myant•ARTICLE•Europe Asia Studies•2007•Cited by: 3•References: 1

    The post-1989 economic transformation in the Czech Republic has created a market economy acceptable for EU membership but measures of international competitiveness show it to be some way behind the most advanced countries. Features of the transformation strategy in banking, the development of small businesses and privatisation created an economy with limited potential for autonomous, innovative growth. Policy shifted in the late 1990s towards sup…

    The term ‘civil society’ played a central role in a dispute between Klaus and Havel in the mid-1990s. The use of such an academic term in practical politics requires an explanation. It appears that its meaning is inevitably imprecise and its greatest use is in a polemical context. The dispute grew out of the particular context of the early 1990s, following the apparent victory of a spontaneous and decentralized movement over a centralized power s…

    Employers’ interest representation has developed in the Czech Republic since 1989 as an element in the developing political system. Although set in the context of business interest representation in developed market economies, there are two important differences: first, the fluidity of interest representation, and of government responses; second, the influence of the formal tripartite structure that gives shape and legitimacy to much of the emplo…

The conclusion is that, although the general approach of looking for different kinds of capitalism is extremely fruitful, it is neither possible nor helpful to try to classify the Czech experience within an established model. The nature and significance of the relationships between business, labour relations and socia…

  • Economic transformation in the Czech Republic—a qualified success

    Martin Myant•ARTICLE•Europe Asia Studies•2007•Cited by: 3•References: 1

    The post-1989 economic transformation in the Czech Republic has created a market economy acceptable for EU membership but measures of international competitiveness show it to be some way behind the most advanced countries. Features of the transformation strategy in banking, the development of small businesses and privatisation created an economy with limited potential for autonomous, innovative growth. Policy shifted in the late 1990s towards sup…

  • International Integration and the Structure of Exports in Central Asian Republics

    Martin Myant, Jan Drahokoupil•ARTICLE•Eurasian Geography and Economics•2008•References: 2

    Two European political economists examine the restructuring of external relations of the Central Asian republics (CARs) after the disintegration of the Soviet Union by focusing on the structures of exports based on evidence provided by past balances of payments and trade data disaggregated at a relatively high level. The authors' investigation identifies shifts in the commodity composition of exports since the CARs' independence, both in terms of…

  • Les gouvernements sociaux-démocrates et la variété de capitalisme en République tchèque

    Martin Myant•ARTICLE•Critique internationale•2008

    Social Democrats in Government and the Variety of Capitalism in the Czech Republic Social Democrats dominated the Czech government from 1998 to 2006. Their impact on the type of capitalism in that country is analysed with an adaptation of established approaches to varieties of capitalism. Vaguely defined neo-liberal and social-democratic trends reached an implicit compromise after 1989, but economic difficulties led to a reopening of basic questi…

  • Trade Union Influence in the Czech Republic since 1989

    Open Access•Martin Myant•ARTICLE•Czech Sociological Review•2010•Cited by: 3•References: 1

    Trade unions in the Czech Republic have experienced a steady decline in membership and, albeit less markedly, in bargaining coverage since the early 1990s, but much less decline in political influence. An assessment of the extent of their overall ability to influence society's development requires a division into three spheres: business, employment relations, and the state budget. Strength in one sphere is found to influence strength in others. T…

  • International Integration, Varieties of Capitalism and Resilience to Crisis in Transition Economies

    Martin Myant, Jan Drahokoupil•ARTICLE•Europe Asia Studies•2012•Cited by: 16•References: 3

    This article offers a comprehensive analysis of the different effects of the economic crisis from 2008, across all transition economies with a testable framework, that relates vulnerability to specific forms of development since 1989. The key to the framework is the identification of forms of integration into the international economy, with distinctions between different export structures and dependence on other sources of foreign-currency earnin…

  • The Political Economy of Crisis Management in East–Central European Countries

    Martin Myant, Jan Drahokoupil et al.•ARTICLE•Europe Asia Studies•2013•Cited by: 10•References: 4

    The financial and economic crisis in the Central and East European countries raised the profile of economic policy themes that relate to the role of taxation and state spending. The key policy differences related to public budgets and support for a demand stimulus. Responses fall broadly into two categories that we link to a social-democratic and a neo-liberal response. The distinction indicates that the policy responses were linked to the party …
