Politicians´ Interest in the Views of Citizens and Citizens' Ability to Influence the Public Sphere - February 2018
Krajňák, Tomáš
In its regular February survey the Public Opinion Research Centre further examined whether people think that politicians are interested in the views of citizens, and whether in the opinion of the Czech public, people have certain opportunities to influence the public sphere.\nRegarding the interest of politicians in the views of citizens, the vast majority (79%) of the Czech public thinks that only minority of Czech politicians is interested in people's opinion. Exactly 13% of the population believe that in the views of citizens is interested none of Czech elected politicians.\nWithin the possibilities to influence the public sphere a significant shift has not occurred in any researched sphere in comparison to the previous year.\nWhile assessing the views on politicians´ interests and the potential to influence public sphere, the results seem to be related to the assessment of living standards of respondent's household. People with good living standards tend to be more optimistic in the question whether politicians are interested in the views of citizens and are more likely to feel they can influence public sphere.

Imperator and gubernator. Overlap of functions of two prime ministers from the perspective of constitutional law, comparative politics and theoretical "Staatswissenschaft"
Vanča, Matouš ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Švec, Kamil (referee)
Author Matouš Vanča Title Imperator and Gubernator. Overlap of Functions of Two Prime Ministers from the Perspective of Constitutional Law, Comparative Politics and Theoretical 'Staatswissenschaft' Abstract This thesis deals with the so-called 'problem of the two PMs', i.e. situation during the alternation of governments in the Czech Republic when the two Prime Ministers coexist shortly at the same time. This specific situation is a potential source of extensive conflict over the authority to exercise the constitutional powers of the Prime Minister. In the first chapter the whole issue is analyzed from the historical point of view-it could be regarded as a relatively new matter of the current Czech constitution, however, even in the older Czechoslovak constitutional tradition, problems of a similar type can be found that have not yet been given more attention. The second chapter presents the views of constitutional lawyers on the whole topic-they are divided into three basic hypotheses, "denialism hypothesis", "one-hour hypothesis" and "Benelux hypothesis". In the third chapter there is a comprehensive comparison within the European Union-the mechanisms of government alternation in particular European constitutions are analyzed, their strengths and weaknesses are discussed and the states are categorized...

Miloš Zeman Prime Minister and the President: continuity or change in opinion?
Hnízdil, Ivo ; Švec, Kamil (advisor) ; Mlejnek, Josef (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse opinions of Milos Zeman as the prime minister and as the president in similar political situations in three circuits, while selected issues closely touched the offices of the Prime Minister, or the President. Comparing these standpoints this paper concludes that Milos Zeman is not very consistent in his opinions. It seems that a change of his views is motivated by the current political profit and maximizing influence of the held constitutional post. Theoretical part of this paper characterizes the political system of the Czech Republic with emphasis on the necessary cooperation of concerned branches of state power. This allows readers the insight and the inclusion of individual standpoints of Milos Zeman to the realities of the practical functioning of the system. On this theoretical basis clearly stands out Milos Zeman's motivation to change viewpoint or stay in the former one.

Media portrayal of Milos Zeman
Kovářová, Pavla ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Shavit, Anna (referee)
This thesis deals with the development of the media image of Miloš Zeman in the two terms in which he held the most significant political functions, namely the prime minister and the president. The aim is to find out whether the media image of Miloš Zeman at a time when he served as prime minister differs from the current media image that he now has as president. The theoretical part is defined by the role of the media in society and politics. Furthermore, the approaches of objectivity in media are described and finally the basic theories that are applied in the construction of the media image are presented. The methodological part of the research covers the method of quantitative content analysis and how this research was conducted. The necessary data was obtained through the Anopress database, selecting relevant articles of the two national newspapers (Mladá fronta Dnes, Právo) and the two most-watched national television networks (Nova, Česká televize). The conclusion of this thesis is analytical and presents the results.
