    The sequence of territorial reforms of local government in the Czech Republic, commencing in the 1950s under the communist regime, and continuing until the beginning of the the third millenium, is recapitulated and analysed. It offers an ambiguous picture of centralisation of subnational government under that regime, somewhat softened in the late stage of its existence, followed by radical decentralisation after the 1990, and by the recent search for solutions that would overcome the negative consequences of the territorial and functional fragmentation of local government without sacrificing the achievements of local democracy.
