Za hranice služebně. Pracovní cesty z Československa do zahraničí v letech 1945 až 1989

Lenka Krátká, Pavel Mücke

The book focuses on the issue of business trips abroad realized by experts in various professions in the era of people’s democratic and later socialist Czechoslovakia. It reflects both the experience of individuals and the perspective of collective actors – the state, the Communist Party, and other institutional players. The publication offers a detailed insight into these trips‘ broader political, legislative, and administrative context. This picture is then complemented with studies of the most important groups of employees who traveled abroad or worked there for a long time (chapters on trips abroad in the fields of transport, foreign trade, culture, sports, and travel of military representatives, and political elites). In its second part, the book offers an insight into specific experiences of men and women who have traveled abroad in the past “for official purposes” – eleven edited oral history interviews. An integral part of the work is a relatively extensive appendix of period photographs with topic-relevant comments.
