Summary/Abstract: While Western European countries have continually developed their CMT tools throughout the second half of the twentieth century until now, the Czech Republic has had to adjust its CMT tools to the needs of modern society in a much shorter period of time. Just as in other post-communist countries, the race to become an equal member of the international community has consisted of two phases. Not surprisingly, the first phase was to gain membership of NATO and the EU. Only membership of these organizations can guarantee the Czech Republic a firm position in the Western world and the opportunity to assert its own international agenda efficiently. Consequently, transatlantic ties and European integration are the cornerstones of Czech security policy.
