Abstract

This paper examines the period of discontinuity of networks and their recombination in the Czech Republic during the 1990s, a period of hasty privatisation with calamitous results for social capital, networks and the economy. Despite some revival in networking, the full recovery is hampered by the current stand off between a push for privatisation and the European social capitalism. Three manufacturing networks are studied. The first two illustrate the problem facing the networks and the third outlines one of the possible routes for recombination. The current turmoil in the Czech railways is also briefly looked at to show that the damage inflicted on path-dependent social capital is not easily healed.
