He analyzed how the Czechoslovak law –drafted by the Czechoslovak officials of the Cisleithanian tradition –was implemented in the newly acquired lands, namely in Slovakia and in Carpathian Ruthenia. Vratislav Kalousek perceived the foundation of Czechoslovakia, based on uniting lands with a different history, as well as cultural, social and legal traditions, as a situation in which it was necessary to act swiftly, instead of slowing the process down with emphasis on accuracy typical for legal theory.}, doi = {10.4467/20844131KS.20.023.12518}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/kshpp/artykul/legal-aspects-of-the-position-of-slovakia-in-the-newly-established-czechoslovakia-in-vratislav-kalouseks-interpretation} }
