Zusammenfassung:The aim of this text is to analyse the key internal and external influences of the development of the Czech, respectively Czechoslovak, religious studies, and this from the period of its establishment in the Czech academic environment, which began in the 1920s, up to the present. We will first and foremost reflect upon the importance of western religious studies on its formation. This will involve critical reflections on the hundred years of its development, and the influences and impulses arising both from Czech and foreign academia. After the fall of the Communist regime in the year 1989, the links with the Czech Association for the Study of Religions (casr) are of great importance in terms of institutional cooperation with the iahr world religious association, further with the easr European association and finally with the Isorecea association, which fulfills the important function as an association gathering together from, not exclusively, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In order to understand the particular stages of the development of Czech religious studies, the personal contacts of Czech scholarship and religious studies workplaces with foreign experts is of importance, these often being members of iahr, as these, in our view, played one of the essential roles for forming national identity in the form of new thematic, theoretical and methodological impulses and approaches, which gradually led to its specialized differentiation.
