Jakub Beneš
Czech Social Democracy, František Soukup, and the Habsburg Austrian Suff rage Campaign 1897–1907. Toward a New Understanding of Nationalism in the Workers’ Movements of East Central Europe

This article examines a shift in Czech socialist workers’ political rhetoric in the first decade of the twentieth century from the sense that workers were excluded outsiders from the ethnic nation to the idea that they would rightfully redefine and lead the ethnic nation. Social Democracy’s preoccupation from 1907 on with national concerns led directly to the splitting of Austrian Social Democracy along ethno-national lines several years before the outbreak of World War One. Because this rhetorical and social-psychological shift coincided with a major extension of voting rights in Habsburg Austria (in which Social Democratic mobilizations played a key role), this paper argues that democratization played an important, though unappreciated, role in the rise of nationalism in the east central European workers’ movement. It also highlights the role of Czech socialist leader, František Soukup, in facilitating and articulating Czech workers’ new stance.

Class of Workers and Women? Changing Perspective of Gender Relations within the Czech Labor Movement 1870–1914

The paper deals with the changes of meaning of gender relations in the Czech working-class and the forming socialist movement during the period from 1870 to 1914. It focuses on the relationship between the struggle for recognition, i. e. on the critical articulations of a misrecogniton as well as on the imagination of ideal social order, and the constitution of mass socialist party. The attention is paid to the roles, which men (or/and masculinity) and women (and/or feminity) should have held.

Social Democratic Ideas on Social Politics in Interwar Czechoslovakia: The Polemics between Evžen Štern and Jiří Pleskot

The article deals with the idea of social policy in the interwar Czechoslovak Social Democratic Party on the example of two significant personalities (Evžen Štern, Jiří Pleskot). The author relies on the less well-known assumption of power-resources approach that the welfare state as an extension of social policy represents for social democrats a first step towards the socialism. The basic question of the study is whether social democrats really understood social policy as an instrument or part of transition from capitalism to socialism in this period. The author concludes that such an idea was present in the Czechoslovak Social Democratic Party, but not all currents within the party shared it and it was not expressed in the official programmatic documents.
