Lekeš, Martin ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Michal, Aleš (referee)
This thesis concerns the political party of Volt Europa, which was founded in 2017 as an attempt to create a political party on the pan-european level. The thesis describes the mutual relationship between political parties and the European Union, as well as the evolution of typologies used to describe internal organisation of political parties. The thesis utilises the typology of Nicole Bolleyer, who divided political parties into hierarchies, stratarchies and federations. In the analytical part of the thesis there is an attempt at categorising the party Volt Europa into one of these three categories, with the help of an analysis of the party statutes and interviews with key party members in various positions.

Comparative Analysis of Political Parties' Cooperation within Electoral Coalitions in the Czech Republic
Kutman, Ondřej ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Michal, Aleš (referee)
The bachelor's thesis maps electoral coalitions in the Czech republic on parliamentary and regional level. It unravels which parties are most common amongst these coalitions and clarifies their ideological position. This is based on the Party family theory, which is closely described in the theoretical part of this thesis. This part also includes an explanation for the concept of electoral coalitions. Methodology of this thesis is based on data published by the Czech Statistical Office. The practical section of the thesis uses this data to discover the frequency of occurence of political parties in electoral coalitions. Furthermore, this section clarifies the success rate of these coalitions. The results of the research helped to create two datasets where the parties are sorted by the frequency of occurence. The research led to a conclusion that the existence of electoral coalitions is not strongly affected by the ideological differences between the parties of the coalitions. Also, cooperation of centre-right parties with both liberal and conservative elements of political agenda is quite common amongst these coalitions.

German Euroscepticism between 1990 and 2013
Michal, Aleš ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Guasti, Petra (referee)
The current discussion about party-based Euroscepticism forms in the Federal Republic of Germany is usually limited to the Alternative für Deutschland issue and neglect inside-parties forms before its formation. This master thesis examines this type of Euroscepticism in Germany in relevant political parties between 1990 and 2013. This period is defined by the time between German reunification and the formation of the AfD. The term 'Euroscepticism' is conceptualized in the theoretical section, and theories defined by selected scholars are reflected. Subsequently, the theoretical section reflects the perception of Euroscepticism as a thin- centered ideology, its applications in the left-right dimension, and focus on 'new cleavages' GAL/TAN theory. This section emphasizes a deficiency of 'classic' hard-soft Euroscepticism theory and reveals empirical limits of any typologies. The author uses the methodology of content analysis of program papers (PDS/Die Linke, Die Grünen, SPD, and CSU) in the empirical section. Its corpus is defined by the program thesis for Bundestag and European Parliament elections. The coding divides analyzing statements into logical topic groups, which correspond to a subject of research. The synthesis of this coding introduces a clear image of EU attitudes by every single party,...
