Česká národní identita po zániku Československa a před vstupem do Evropské unie

The study is dedicated to the Czech national identity in 1995 and 2003. We analyse four elements of national identity ů an image of the nation (culture-nation, state-nation), a territorial identity (local, regional, state and European), a national pride (in performance of a culture and state), and a love for the nation (patriotism, chauvinism). Czech national identity is compared with national identities in eleven European countries and is also used as an explanatory element of the support of the EU governance.
