Rathous, David ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Mlejnek, Josef (referee)
This thesis discusses the state of democracy in the Czech Republic. As its name suggests, the aim is to answer the question of whether the end of liberal democracy is coming. According to the authors hypothesis, The Czech Republic had experienced a significant shift in political development, and it had in recent years turned away from the liberal democratic order. In the first part of this thesis, the author introduces the concept of liberal democracy from a theoretical point of view, including its development, with emphasis on the problematic genesis.

Comparison of ANO 2011 and Fidesz in terms of program and organizational structure
Winklerová, Barbora ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on comparison of ANO 2011 and Fidesz based on their origin, development, organizational structure, program and ideology, and role of the party leader. Beside the introduction of various organizational party types and concept of "genetical code" by Angelo Panebianco, the parties are examined also by concept of populism defined on the basis of the book by Cas Mudde and C.R. Kaltwasser. Based on two case studies of ANO 2011 and Fidesz the goal of this paper was to find out similar and different features and explore their impact on democratic system. As long as these two parties have different organizational structure, one of the important features is dominant role of their founder not only in the foundation of the party but also in the following development towards centralized organization and personalization. The other common feature is populism which appears to be an important variable affecting the party's influence on the democratic system. However, the character of populism is different in these cases. Particular political system and electoral system also play important role in the potential decline of democracy.

All the youth political organizations, that were included in his research, aimed to provide its political parties with the function of party stabilization, They acted as a mediator between political party and the defined part of society. There is an assumption, that institutionalized political party wants a strong and durable relationship with the affiliated organization because of its mutually beneficial functions. Moreover, these parties should also aim to formalize this relationship via its statutes.
