Milev, Matěj ; Ondruška, Michal (advisor) ; Stauber, Jakub (referee)
This thesis deals with the characteristic of electoral geography of the political movement Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) in the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic in the years 2017 and 2021, as well as its putting to the context with spatial distribution patterns of electoral results of ideologically closest political parties, which are the Dawn of Direct Democracy (Úsvit) in 2013 and Tricolour Freedomites Freeholders (TSS) in 2021. The analysis of these patterns is examined at the level of administrative divisions of municipalities, using the method of P. Jehlička and L. Sýkora. Then is used the analysis of determination of these electoral results with the social-economic character of the Czech electorate. Among the most important findings belongs the identification of high electoral support of SPD in the frontier areas, confirmation of common patterns of the 2017 results with the character of the Úsvit support and conversely its non-finding in the 2021 election with the TSS. There was also confirmed positive correlation of electoral support with the rate of unemployment, as well as with the rate of persons without secondary graduation.

Political scientists who studied electoral behaviour across countries of Central and Eastern Europe with new democracies established shortly after fall of authoritarian regimes have found several findings, unique for this area; one of them being specific type of electoral volatility, typical for political systems which follow longer periods of authoritarian regime. This electoral volatility correlates with high party system instability with new parties emerging every electoral term and old political parties vanishing from political competition. While political scientists studied relationship between electoral volatility and increasing number of political parties, party switching presents considerable threat to stability of party system in CEE. Therefore, this paper studies socio-economic, demographic, and psychologic factors determining specific type of volatile voter. The aim of this article is to provide further knowledge of how political systems of CEE struggle with party system instability, identify major problems and what factors are required to change if political systems are to achieve higher...

Dynamics of the Development of the Slovak Party System
Smolecová, Alexandra ; Šárovec, Daniel (advisor) ; Ondruška, Michal (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the dynamics of the development of the party system in Slovakia from 1992 to the last parliamentary elections of 2016. Various methods are used to measure the party system dynamics, by means of which it is possible to determine the intensity of changes and the trends arising from them. The analysis is based on the results of the elections for each period, on the basis of which the selected comparative indicators are applied. The evaluation of the results of the analysis will also be included in the basic typology of party systems, but this is not the main purpose of the work. The empirical indicators chosen are the volatility index, the effective page number index and the aggregation index. The given indexes are chosen based on the criteria of classification of party systems. Keywords Slovakia, party system, party systém dynamics, political party, effective number of parties, aggregation, index, volatility index Title/názov práce Dynamics of the development of the Slovak party system
