Vejmelka, Jan ; Pešková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Němec, Jan (referee)
Předmětem práce je přechod k demokracii a konsolidace demokracie v Chile. Výchozím bodem je politický systém Chile před rokem 1973. Nejprve jsou hledány příčiny politické a ústavní krize v roce 1973, zejména ty, které jsou zakotveny v ústavě z roku 1925. Jádrem práce je posouzení změn v konfiguraci politického systému Chile po roce 1989.U konkrétních parametrů systému (forma vlády, volební systém, stranický systém atp.) je zjišťováno, zda v nich nový politický systém navazuje na politický systém před rokem 1973, či na autoritářský režim, tedy zda je v novém politickém systému patrné poučení z minulého vývoje.
