Neoconservatism In The Czech Republic
The Czech Republic, like other post-communist European states, has had a fairly consistent pro-American foreign policy. This pro-Americanism makes Neoconservatism ( cs, neokonzervatismus) in Europe more likely in post-communist European states. While other states in Europe have become hostile towards US policy since the 2003 invasion of Iraq the states of Central Europe (termed "new Europe" by Donald Rumsfeld) joined the American "coalition of the willing" in Iraq, contributing much-needed international legitimacy.
