“…This was especially the case of the newly formed democracies in post-communist countries in the 1990s (see, for example, the antagonistic visions concerning the role of the civil society represented by Vaclav Havel and Vaclav Klaus in the Czech Republic in Potůček, 1999). The core issue was that these formal political leaders had won their legitimacy and accountability via elections, while the informal leaders from the civil society had neither such legitimacy nor accountability and their participation in political decision making could be without any subsequent political responsibility.…”

EU policies support a place-based approach with the increasing role of local partners in political decision-making. The current crisis of formal political leadership raises the question of whether or not formal leadership is becoming dispersed and informal place leadership can succeed in filling the vacuum.Based on data from the implementation of 58 EU-funded Integrated Urban Development Plans in Czechia, we found that informal leadership is challenging formal local political leadership.Nevertheless, its success has been limited in obtaining political legitimacy due to missing dialogue between the local movements and nonprofit leaders when searching for solutions to local problems.

“…119 Moreover, Havel had routinely criticized the ODS for its domestic and international policies, including a timely call in 1997 denouncing "Czech provincialism, selfishness, and isolationism in politics". 120 After a change in leadership, and despite the opposition of the ODS, the Czech Senate approved an amendment to the citizenship law in July 1999. 121 The amendment declared that those individuals who resided on Czech territory on 31 December 1992 were eligible for Czech citizenship.…”

This paper examines the role of central bank governors in monetary policy decisions taken by a committee. To carry out this analysis, we constructed a novel dataset of committee voting behaviour for six OECD countries for up to three decades. Using a range of Taylor-rule specifications, we show that a change in governor significantly affects the interest rate setting of the whole committee. We also observe systematic differences in the responsiveness to recent changes in the state of the economy based on the political party appointing the governor, with higher responsiveness under governors that are appointed by a left-wing political authority. In contrast, right wing appointed governors are more likely to consider expected economic developments in the future when deciding on the appropriate interest rate. JEL-Codes: E000.
