Popular vote in parliamentary systems: causes and effects of the implementation in selected European countries
Kuta, Martin ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (referee)
Popular vote of a president is a necessary condition of a presidential system. This thesis focuses on the popular vote of a president in parliamentary systems where the president is merely a formal head of state with limited powers. The case studies -- Finland and Slovakia -- will provide with possible causes and effects of an implementation of the popular vote in the political systems and their subsequent changes. Intra-executive conflicts as consequences of the split-up of powers between the president and the government will be studied. The main question of the thesis is if the implementation of the popular vote may change the type of the political system.

Prezidentské primární volby ve Spojených státech amerických v roce 2008
Andrýsová, Lenka ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor)
Presidential primary elections could demonstrate current developments in the American society and contribute to better understanding of general elections in November 2008. Therefore, after theoretical introduction about primary elections as process, I describe and compare standpoints of front-runners to the most debated issues (Hillary Rodham Clinton, John McCain and Barack Obama, then partially John Edwards, Rudolph Guiliani, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney). As a result, new trends in American political parties could be identified. Moreover, this analysis could forecast main tensions during the general presidential election in November. Apart from issues, this thesis deals with race and gender question and ageism and effects and success of using new communication channels in candidates' political campaigns.
