The author interprets the Prague Spring via the Ranciere's concept of politics showing that this event established another modus of radical democratic politics which has not been captured by Ranciere. Its unique characteristics was that it in fact dynamically connected the party-state, i.e.

Rancierian "police order", to a spontaneous popular movement as appeared to be Rancierian "politics". Such a dialectic between the party-state and a popular movement constitutes an original, often-overlooked trait that distinguishes the Prague Spring from the French May '68 that instigated Ranciere's political philosophy.
