Czechoslovakia's New Foreign Policy Activism
Prague's new foreign policy orientation is bringing it closer to the
Western mainstream�at a cost. Since Vaclav Havel became
� President in December, Czechoslovakia has stressed human rights
� and sought recognition as an honest broker in several disputes. Havel
has offered to mediate between the PLO and Israel as well as between
the Lithuanians and Moscow. Czechoslovakia's newly acquired
international reputation has already led dissidents to seek asylum in
its Embassies in Albania as well as in Cuba.
Czechoslovakia's leaders, many of whom are former dissidents, are
� committed to extending their human rights activism and their pacifist
� vision to international relations. As it attempts to press its own
' agenda, Prague may develop a reputation as an international gadfly,
-perhaps at the cost of some of its credibility with foreign officials. The
____.recent refugee incidents have shown Prague that there is a price to
pay for these policies, including the economic cost of granting asylum
to refugees and the risk that a hostage crisis�like that in Havana�
could undermine the government's domestic support.
