Creating and managing of presidential campaigns with the case study of Emmanuel Macron 2017
Pečenková, Markéta ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Švec, Kamil (referee)
Professional campaign is an integral part for each candidacy, including presidential candidates. Presidential campaigns recognise two significant milestones. The first was presidential debate between Nixon and Kennedy in 1960 which is considered to be the beginning of televised politics. The second was Barack Obama's campaign in 2008 with its innovative usage of social media. Emmanuel Macron's campaign from 2017 is aspiring to push the evolution of presidential campaigns further. He surrounded himself with international advisors and based his campaign upon contemporary trends of political communication. Thanks to this he was able to introduce a very effective campaign. This diploma thesis conducts a research of presidential campaigns with the aim to generalise their key features and compare them with Macron's form of campaign. Thanks to this we can explore whether Emmanuel Macron was rather following previous paths or whether he introduced a fundamental progress in the way how presidential campaigns are maintained.

Nevertheless, the need for objective information persists to this day. The importance of the PI thus lies primarily in the fact that it enables legislators to create good quality laws and control the executive by providing them with the specific unbiased information. The text focuses on the establishment, development, structure, functions and outputs of the institute.

Presidential candidates of Lutte Ouvriére party in the presidential elections 2007-2017
Benová, Adriana ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Šárovec, Daniel (referee)
(in English): The bachelor thesis deals with the development of the extreme left in France focusing on the Trotskyist Workers' Struggle (Lutte ouvrière, LO) and its candidates in the 2007-2017 presidential election. The historical outline of the extreme left dates back to 1905, but significant events are related to the figure of Lev Davidovich Trotsky and his Fourth International. Trotskyism in France influenced many extreme left-wing political parties, but the specificity of the Workers' Struggle lies in the separation of this party from the main Trotskyist movement and the decision not to become a part of Trotsky Forth International. The Trotskyist groups were at the forefront of the social riots in 1968, when civil dissatisfaction escalated. In addition to the historical development of the extreme left in France, the work also sought to analyse the presidential candidates Arlette Laguiller and Nathalie Arthaud in the years 2007-2017 to answer the question of how this extreme left-wing trotskyist party Workers' Struggle is capable to nominate a candidate for the presidential election since 1974.

Crisis of the KDU-ČSL? Analysis of the evolution of the party during the period 2009 - 2013
Neugebauerová, Aneta ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Charvát, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the analysis of KDU-ČSL during the period from 2009 - 2013, when for the first time since its formation in 1919 this political party failed to obtain representation in the lower chamber of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. This representation was re-established in 2013, which is also a very unique phenomenon. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the development and changes within KDU-ČSL during this period using the official party documents and standardized interviews with selected members of KDU- ČSL. This information will allow me to come to a thought-out conclusion whether this period can be characterized as a crisis or not.
