Political institutes in the Czech Republic - political communication and managerial relationship with parent subjects
Dolejš, Jakub ; Konrádová, Marcela (advisor) ; Shavit, Anna (referee)
This thesis examines the managerial relationship of selected political institutes in the Czech Republic with their parent entities from the perspective of political management theory, specifically through the function of political planning. Furthermore, the author applies theoretical concepts related to political institutes to this relationship. The second area of research is the political institutes' communication within their activities and the targeted audiences of their communication. Thus, the thesis investigates whether institutes in the Czech Republic are autonomous in setting their agenda based on data obtained from semi-structured interviews with representatives of policy institutes in the Czech Republic. The interviews and analysis were supplemented with data from content analysis of key documents of political institutes, such as founding documents, statutes or websites. The thesis thus contributes to an area that has not yet been academically explored.

Šebesta, Jan ; Hána, David (advisor) ; Kostelecký, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis deals with political ideologies in the local politics of selected cities in Czechia. The aim of the research is to explore whether political parties at local level are formed by political ideologies and to find out what their ideological positions are affected by. To represent political ideologies, I have chosen two ideological dimensions (the left-right economic dimension and the GAL-TAN socio-cultural dimension), of which 10 parties in 33 selected Czech cities were evaluated. The thesis is primarily based on data from the "Election calculator" for elections to municipal councils in 2022. Based on its questions, an evaluation scale was created for each dimension, which determines the ideological positions of parties in selected cities. The thesis thus verifies the applicability of the concept of ideological dimensions at the local level in Czechia. The theoretical part of the thesis describes political ideologies and the possibilities of their classification. The chapter mainly discusses the meaning and the defining characteristics of ideological dimensions. Factors that affect the ideological positions of the parties and the specifics of Czech politics are also discussed, with a focus on its local level.

Kačírek, Lukáš ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with problematics regarding the theory of institutionalization and its application on certain political subjects in Central Europe. The thesis is based on multi-case study which analyses two political parties - Slovak SMER-SD and Czech ČSSD, using political science concept of institutionalization. The main objective is to analyse both parties since their foundation and to obtain results regarding these theoretical questions: 1) Is the strong institutionalization the main reason for longevity of social democratic parties? 2) What are the similarities and differences between each political party in level of their institutionalization? The thesis uses theories of institutionalization by Robert Harmel, Lars Svåsand and Hilmar Mjelde to acquire answers to these questions. Theories of institutionalization are then supplemented by Jakub Stauber's criteria; each dimension of the theory is further elaborated. At first, both political systems are introduced in which concerned parties operate, then the thesis follows up with approach of selected authors towards theory of institutionalization. Lastly, the thesis focuses on the research itself and inspection and comparison of final results.
