The author examines the Czech network of associations in the economic context of those parts of the Habsburg Monarchy which are commonly referred to as Cisleithanien. He also pays attention to the associational policies and nation-building strategies of the Czeh political parties, and to the efforts at economic emancipation made by the Czech political elite. The study examines the formation of the structure of Czech associations, their different types, the characteristics of their differentiation and their triumph at the end of the 19th century in the economic and credit life in their interaction with the German associations in Bohemia. It pays special attention to the Czech adaptation of German ideas of association by Raiffeisen and Schulze-Delitzsch, and of the basic principles of econiomic self-help and associational organisation. It locates the developmental phases of the Czech associations within the institutional credit structure of the crown provinces. According to the author’s conclusion, no analysis of the Czech system of associations in the interwar period can neglect the Austrian and Hungarian precedents.
