| Description | The book The Undisciplined and the Unengaged focuses on goings on within the Communist Party of Czechoslowakia (CPC) in the period 1948-1952, i.e., in the first five years of the party´s monopoly on power in Czechoslowakia. The book reconstructs internal party practices in particular regions and municipalities (the Brno Region, the Znojmo district) and delivers analyses that examine the actions of concrete rank-and-file Communists without neglegetinc to emphasise events of national significance of local specifics. The book answers the fundamental question of how the CPC - an unusually large party of over two million memebers - governed itself. First describes the ideological basis and substance of te term party discipline. Basic internal party normative texts are described and analysed, as are laguage patterns, mechanisms (subordinations, screenings, interviews, reports, checks, training), organs (dsicplinary and investigative commisions, committees), and functionaries (supervisors of 10, instructors, secretaries) by means of wich the control of members was to be implemented. |
