The theme of the work will focus on the first direct presidential elections in the Czech Republic in 2013 from the perspective of gender division of male and female candidates. The work will analyze the self-presentation of individual candidates and their presentation by the media. The aim of the thesis is to analyze the course of the campaign in terms of gender. It will also focus on selected media and map how they present male and female candidates also in terms of gender. The analysis will stem from public events and their representation by the media. I will analyze data collected during the campaign, performance in media and statements of the candidates, with special attention to the behavior and self- presentation of male and female candidates and to the media. The aim of the work is to give a coherent view, whether and how the candidates present their gender and how the media present them in terms of gender.

The bachelor thesis deals with political parties, which operated in the Slovak during the first Czechoslovak Republic. The aim is to analyze the political programs of the parties, namely the programs of Republikánská strana zemědělského a malorolnického lidu, Československá sociálně-demokratická strana dělnická, Komunistická strana Československá, Hlinkova slovenská ľudová strana and Slovenská národná strana.

I am going to apply the discourse analysis as a research method. I am going to use formal political programs, historical documents as secondary sources and other publications dedicated to this historical period. The main research question will primarily concerned with issues of institutional organizations, competences, government structures, Czechoslovakism or autonomous requirements. I will search for all terms related to these topics in political programs. I will be interested in issues relating to the Slovak question.

The First Czechoslovak Republic from the Point of View of the Theory of Consociational Democracy
Palkosková, Lucie ; Gelnarová, Jitka (advisor) ; Novák, Miroslav (referee)
Bachelor thesis "The First Czechoslovak Republic from the Point of View of the Theory of Consociational democracy" applies the theory of consociational democracy to the first Czechoslovak Republic. This work describes a form of consociational democracy, as was defined by Arend Lijphart in 60 years. There are presented the operating conditions of the theory and its main features. Then, these characteristics - grand coalition, proportionality, segmental autonomy and mutual veto - are applied to the case of the first Czechoslovak Republic. The work tries to answer whether during the brief existence of the Czechoslovak Republic were filled with four basic conditions of the theory of consociational democracy. Based on an analysis of the political system in Czechoslovakia and analysis of national, economic and social problems, it was found that the first Czechoslovak Republic partially fulfills two conditions of consociational democracy (grand coalition and proportionality), but the remaining two conditions (segmental autonomy and mutual veto) do not at all.

First Czechoslovak Republic in a context of consociational theory
Zavřel, Filip ; Říchová, Blanka (advisor) ; Gelnarová, Jitka (referee)
This bachelor thesis called "First Czechoslovak Republic in the context of theory of consociational democracy" deals with the analysis of the political system of the first Czechoslovak Republic in order to determine wheter and/or to what extent this system contains components which are characteristic of the theory of consociational democracy, as described by the Dutch political scientist Arend Lijphart in sixties of 20th century. It focuses on the analysis of the system in the fields of fragmentation, electoral and party system, the results of elections to the National Assembly, negotiations of political elites and the formation and functioning of coalition governments. It's based on the thesis that the political system of the first Czechoslovak Republic included components later associated with the theory of consociational democracy, especially in the form of a grand coalition goverment (with the participation of representatives of the German minority since 1926) and relatively long-term systemic stability, achieved despite extensive fragmentation of society, which was cleaved especially nationally. The period covered is the whole era of the first republic, thus since the year 1918 untill 1938.

The Possibilities of Political Participation of the Roma minority in the Czech Republic
Hon, Matěj ; Říchová, Blanka (advisor) ; Gelnarová, Jitka (referee)
In this thesis, the author raises the following question: What is the nature of the efforts of Romani elites at political participation in the Czech Republic and what is their potential? He presupposes that those currents of the Roma ethno-emancipation movement that are not defined sharply against the surrounding society are in a better position. He summarizes the basic facts from the history of the Roma in the Czech Republic with an overlap into the Central European context. He monitors the factors relevant to the examination of political acts of the Roma and subsequently characterizes their own understanding of ethnicity, showing that kinship and sub-ethnic groups are more important for the collective identification of most of the Roma. The theoretical part deals with selected authors who participated in the discussions on multiculturalism, both on the general, international, and on the national level, with special focus on Roma issues. In the final chapter the author tries to apply all the described knowledge to the three most significant projects of the Roma, through which the Romani elites engage in public affairs in the Czech Republic. They are the Union of Gypsies- Roma from the break of 1960s and 1970s, the Roma Civic Initiative, a party active in the 90s, and a civic association called...

The representation of women in the Czech local politics and its particularities
Švadlenková, Michaela ; Jüptner, Petr (advisor) ; Gelnarová, Jitka (referee)
According to the theorists of gender and according to numerous surveys women have a different approach to politics and conduct themselves differently to men. Moreover there are some external factors, which influence the rate of women's political representation in politics. I am using the theory of the specific approach of women to politics and these external factors to find out why there is a higher representantion of women on a local level than on a national level in Czech politics. In the first part of this Bachelor's Thesis I explained the forming of gender approach, which is nowadays a respected field of science used for explaining differences between men and women. In the next chapter I found some specific character traits for women's behavior in politics, in women's approach to politics and women's priorities in politics. After that I introduced some results from foreign surveys and foreign theoretical literature about the influence of external factors on women's political participation. The third chapter is an analysis of the contemporary situation of women in politics in the Czech Republic, with particular focus on local politics. Amongst others I mentioned the attitude to the concept of gender in Czech society, the attitudes of Czech society to women in politics and the socio-economical...

Christian Democratic Party DC. Development and its position in the first Italian Republic to the so-called historic compromise
Květoňová, Petra ; Šušlíková, Lada (advisor) ; Gelnarová, Jitka (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on research of the position of the Christian Democratic Party of Italy in the system of the First Republic of Italy from its origin until the so-called historic compromise in the second half of the 70's of the 20th century. The Christian Democracy played a fundamental role in the process of forming of a new democratic republic. In the parliamentary election of 1948, which were crucial for further evolution of Italy, the Christian Democracy gained victory over the Italian Communist Party and its coalition partners, also thanks to its expressive anticommunist election campaign. Then a period of centrism began, therefore coalitions of smaller centrist parties were formed around the Christian Democracy to prevent the communist's access to governments. This conventio ad excludendum, leading to formation of the same or similar coalitions and so to the actual absence of political alternance, therefore had significant consequences for the whole party system of the First Republic of Italy, which can also be characterised as a particracy (partitocrazia). The thesis also analyses the internal structure of the party, its particular factions and, finally, also its relationship to the voters and especially to the regions of the so- called white subculture, where the Christian...

Vatican City from the Point of View of the Theory of Political System
Gelnarová, Jitka ; Říchová, Blanka (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (referee)
The study attempts to analyse the reality of the Vatican state in the context of convergence of the state and the Holy See. The traditional state-centred approach does not appear to be suitable for the analysis, considering the fact that Vatican represents a multidimensional phenomenon characterised by merging of a state and a non-state entity. Therefore, I attempted to apply an alternative approach, namely the theory of political system. The main theoretical basis of the study is G. Almond's structural-functional analysis that defines the political system according to functions it fulfils in the society. Departing from the theory mentioned above, I define the criteria of the political system, which I then apply on the specific reality of the Vatican state. These include the existence of society and existence of functions the system fulfils. As I examine the issue of political system, the study also encompasses a description of state characteristics of Vatican. The central part of the study is dedicated to the application of the criteria to the reality of the Vatican state. I first survey the issue of the existence of society. I come to conclusion that it is not possible to consider as society neither the inhabitants of the state, nor the Catholic Church as the community of believers. Consequently, I...
