The Concept of Sovereignty of the People and the Political Party System in the First Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938) and in the Czech Republic since 1993
Havel, Tomáš ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Pithart, Petr (referee) ; Holländer, Pavol (referee)
The idea of sovereignty of the people offers a concept which allows searching for legitimacy of power. The legitimacy of power is one of the key structures establishing a relation between those who govern and those who are governed. Whether this relation is accepted, acceptable, functional, desirable or undesirable is a matter of finding the very definition of sovereignty of the people as such. The aim of this doctoral thesis, titled The Concept of Sovereignty of the People and the Political Party System in the First Czechoslovak Republic (1918 - 1938) and in the Czech Republic since 1993, is, firstly, to define the concepts of the people, on one hand, and sovereignty, on the other hand, in the historical, political and legal context from the ancient times up to now while reflecting the role of political parties in relation to the sovereignty of the people. Secondly, this thesis aims at exploring and describing the functioning of the party systems in the interwar Czechoslovakia and in the Czech Republic after 1993. Thirdly, this thesis seeks to answer the following questions: who represents the people in liberal democracies which are based on sovereignty of the people; how do the people exercise their power; and what is the role of the political parties in this process.

Sociology of knowledge and its impact on a society
Havel, Tomáš ; Kosek, Jan (referee) ; Mucha, Ivan (advisor)
51 Sociology of Knowledge and Its Influence upon the Society SUMMARY The law, representing one of the specific systems of the society, can be viewed on different levels. These levels namely include the normative, axiological and legal- sociological level. Within the context of social sciences we examine the law as social phenomenon acting upon the society. Through mythology, and primarily through various forms of legal communication, this influence constitutes the legal awareness that is subsequently influenced by biogenic, psychogenic and social factors. In the broadest sense, the notion of knowledge denotes a set of information or concepts of certain facts. The knowledge encompasses not only theoretical knowledge but also practical techniques and skills, i.e. ways by which theoretical knowledge becomes a part of practice. The starting point of the present work is the view of the society through the eyes of the sociology of knowledge. Between the systems of knowledge, language and law, there exists a connection that develops in history, within the society differentiated into segments, as well as vertically and horizontally. In the modern (industrial) period, the field of social sciences is viewed through the systems theories that are deeply rooted in natural sciences, namely biology. At present we regard...
