Family Policy in the Programmatic of the Chosen Czech Political Parties
Litomiská, Lucie ; Novotný, Vilém (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
The main premise of this thesis is that political parties are policy actors and that they have an influence on the family policy in the Czech Republic. This paper analyzes political programs of ČSSD, KDU-ČSL and ODS. The qualitative approach to research of party documents was employed. The conclusion is that the core idea of family policy is the relationship of each party to the term "family" (which social meaning it bears) and to the state. This idea has an influence on setting the themes of family policy in the programmatic and on proposing family policy tools. The relationship between "family" and "state" is the space where the ideas of political parties meet. However, there are some themes in which it is possible to find partial or full parity. We can see in these themes some outside conditions, which have an influence on setting themes and tools. In some cases they can move the core idea of family policy in the programmatic of the chosen political parties.

This theory is based on the existence of three streams with independent development. That is problem stream, politics stream and policy stream. Under specific circumstances the three streams clash and in this case a policy window is going to be opened. Opening of the policy window is a sign for policy entrepreneurs who can influence the agenda-setting of new politics. Agenda setting takes place in the Windows called Coupling. In the context of agenda setting of the politics of fight against extremism the Problem Window is the most important. This window is created by various right wing extremist groups and its activity. The Politics Stream is created by the ideology of political parties and National Mood. The ideology of relevant political parties doesn't play any significant roles. The right wing political parties are included in the Problem Window and others relevant political parties have collective concern about rejection the manifestation of right extremism and they also have a unified interest on its...
