Financing of political parties and movements: Monitoring of financing of the election campaigns for the regional council elections 2016
Malinová, Soňa ; Vymětal, Petr (advisor) ; Kučera, František (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the topic of financing of political parties and political movements in the Czech Republic, which is still neglected and insufficiently regulated in our country. In the practical part, the focus is on the financing and monitoring of the election campaigns for the regional council elections 2016. It primarily deals with the evaluation of the transparency of candidates and their campaigns. The election campaigns of the political movement ANO 2011 and the political party ČSSD are analyzed in detail in this thesis with an emphasis on the analysis of transparent accounts of the two candidates. The mandatory establishment of transparent accounts and expenditure ceilings for campaigns, in force since January 2017, are a very positive move towards a transparent political environment. Combined with control mechanisms and a system of sanctions, they form the basis for building a more transparent Czech political scene and they are the cause for further reforms and widening of rules in the system of political party and movement financing in the Czech Republic.

The funding of political parties and movements: Financial monitoring of election campaigns in 2013
Bayerová, Anežka ; Vymětal, Petr (advisor) ; Kný, Daniel (referee)
This thesis focuses on the financing of the Czech political parties and movements. The work aims to show the financing of election campaigns and to evaluate the transparency of the candidate parties and movements in the context of early elections to the Chamber of Deputies in 2013. It seeks to find an answer to the question whether the opening of transparent accounts is an effective instrument to prevent non -- transparent conduct of political parties. Then I ask on the effectiveness of projects monitoring the financing of election campaigns, which was carried out by the organization Transparency International -- Czech Republic in this case. A side effect of this work is to answer the questions, by what means could be achieved a more transparent political environment and if it succeeds how we reach a state in which would be the new established changes respected? The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter has purely theoretical character and focuses on the model of financing of political parties in the Czech Republic, legislation governing this area and the proposed regulatory measures. The second chapter summarizes the assessment of the political parties and movements, who participated in the project of financial monitoring in the context of election campaigns. Parties are evaluated according to criteria designed to assess their openness to the voters. The third chapter contains a summary of the financial monitoring and analytical interpretation of transparent accounts of the political parties. At the end of the work can be found a data comparison, which compares dates from the financial monitoring with those from the annual financial reports. At this point, it is undoubtedly necessary to amend the current legislation governing the political funding, for the lack of rules, which proved the work.

Financing of election campaigns in the Czech Republic: European Parliament elections 2014
Malinová, Soňa ; Vymětal, Petr (advisor) ; Husák, Jan (referee)
Bachelor thesis focuses on the topic of financing of election campaigns in the Czech Republic for the European Parliament elections 2014. It mainly deals with the evaluation of transparency of campaigns of individual political parties/movements and with analysis of their incomes and expenditures. In the work I seek an answer to two main questions. The first one concerns transparent accounts and their potential influence on improvement of transparent environment in the election campaign of the elections to the European Parliament. The second one addresses expenses of political parties/movements during the election campaign, specifically for what items political parties and movements spend the most. In the Czech Republic currently does not exist a statutory obligation for setting up of transparent accounts for political parties/movements. Transparency is unfortunately not guaranteed even for the political entities that voluntarily establish a transparent account. These parties/movements may also have other opaque accounts that are not publicly traceable and verifiable.
