BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: part of a serial Minorities and regionalization in Slovakia : regionalization as a solution for the Hungarian minority issue in Slovakia / Kusy, Miroslav REFERENCE TO GENERIC UNIT (Periodica): Helsinki monitor : quarterly on security and cooperation in Europe : vol. 7; no. 1., p. 58-64. - Utrecht : Netherlands Helsinki Committee, 1996. - ISSN 0925-0972 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: The participants of a recent conference on democratization and decentralization in Central and Eastern Europe [1] unanimously concluded that the process of transformation in this region has stopped without having fulfilled its aims. The Czech Republic is perhaps the only exception to this general trend. The frozen state of reform is especially evident in my own country, Slovakia. Economic transformation halted partly as a result of the changed approach to privatization. The administration of Prime Minister Vladimir Me_iar replaced former policies of decentralization with a program of re-centralization and `etatization'. A high-level official of his administration has even advocated publicly the return to `building socialism'. Developments since 1989 Decentralization and devolution of political power became high priorities in the democratization of the Federal Republic of Czechoslovakia immediately after November 1989. This was understandable, given that centralization of state power by a ruling elite is one the hallmarks of a totalitarian regime. With the abolition of the leading position of the communist party, the revolutionary forces demanded devolution and decentralization in order to democratize the Czechoslovak society on the national, regional, and local level. At the national level, the totalitarian, centralized federation had to be transformed into a democratic federation made up of the two republics, each having equal rights. Václav Havel at the start of the Velvet Revolution emphasized the need to build an `authentic federation'. Theoretically, reform entailed dismantling the totalitarian structure of the Czechoslovak federation, manifest in the distribution of power between the all-powerful federal centre and the powerless administrative and political organs of the respective national republics. Practically, transformation made imperative the re-distribution of political power between Prague and Bratislava and the struggle of the Slovak part of the federation for greater authority and responsibility. The outcome of this struggle was the splitting of the Czechoslovakia and the creation of two independent states: the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. .. INDEX WORDS:
