Anotace:	Historians have long claimed Czechoslovakia between the world wars as an island of democracy in a sea of dictatorships. The reasons for the survival of democratic institutions in the Czechoslovak First Republic, with its profound political, social, and economic divisions, have never been fully explained, partly because for years critical research was thwarted by the communist state. <P>Forging Political Compromise provides the first detailed English-language investigation of Czechoslovakia during the intriguing interwar periocity to mediate between political parties, factions, and individual political leaders. It was this ability, Miller maintains, that was essential to the establishment and maintenance of a democracy. Miller shows how Svehla's influence in the formation of cabinets, his official and behind-the-scenes activities in the parliament, and his personal charisma provided the new state with the stability and continuity necessary to cope with ethnic differences, political discord between socialist and "bourgeois" parties, and other factors that threatened its survival. Forging Political Compromise illustrates the vital importance of effective political leadership in the creation of democratic institutions. And it returns the Czechoslovakian piece to the puzzle of how transformation from authoritarian to democratic regimes occurs.
