Šťastná, Ema ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (advisor) ; Mlejnek, Josef (referee)
The Bachelor Thesis "The Issue of Application of the Western Model of Democracy: a Case Study of the Political System of Argentina" concerns a Western conception of democracy and its application on non-Western states. Firstly, based on compilation of various definitions of a democratic regime, the consequent conditions guaranteeing democratic system in a state are assessed. Regarding the political system in Argentina, on which the paper focuses as an instrumental study, it examines specific factors that largely influence the final form of the political system. The factors included are historical development, evolution and description of political parties, constitutional system and last but not least socioeconomic conditions. Consequently, the paper analyses the political system of Argentina according to abovementioned preconditions, in compliance with which the democratic character is evaluated. In the conclusion, the thesis discusses applicability of Western system to non- Western countries, whilst in the case of deviant form of applied political system it defines the causes considerably influencing its present imperfect form of adopted system.
