The Political System of the Second Czechoslovak Republic
Kunc, Martin ; Jeřábek, Martin (advisor) ; Gelnarová, Jitka (referee)
Tato bakalářská práce se zabývá politickým systémem Druhé Československé republiky. První kapitola se věnuje definici autoritativních režimů a jejich dělení podle Juana Josého Linze. Dále stručně představuji politický systém První Československé republiky, abych později mohl lépe popsat změny, které nastaly ve Druhé republice. Poté se zabývám Mnichovskou dohodou a jejím vlivem na podobu Druhé republiky. V následující kapitole se věnuji jednotlivým aspektům Druhé Československé republiky, přičemž se budu primárně snažit zodpovědět otázku: "Byl politický systém Druhé Československé republiky demokratický, nebo byl spíše autoritativního rázu?" Konkrétněji se v této kapitole věnuji ústavě, fungování státní správy, soustavě státních orgánů, hospodářskému režimu a dodržování občanských práv a svobod. Samostatnou kapitolu jsem přiřadil stranickému systému, na kterém byl nejviditelnější úpadek demokracie. V této kapitole popisuji možné podoby stranického systému a velkou pozornost věnuji Straně národní jednoty a Národní straně práce. Dále popisuji stranický systém na Slovensku a objasňuji fungování neloajálních opozičních skupin. V závěru budu aplikovat Linzovu teorii autoritativních režimů na případ Druhé republiky, čímž zodpovím onu výzkumnou otázku.
