Ideological Profiling of the Political Party ANO 2011 and Its Relationship to Right-Wing Political Parties
Rysová, Kristýna ; Švec, Kamil (advisor) ; Mlejnek, Josef (referee)
This thesis analyzes how a new political party ANO 2011 operates in the Czech party system. The main objective is to find out if ANO 2011 is profiling as another right-wing party - in the context of the decrease of electoral votes of political parties ODS and TOP 09 - and whether this profiling influences the perspective on both parties. The first chapter introduces the theory of party systems using the concept of Giovanni Sartori. The following chapter deals with the theory of political parties, where particular emphasis is placed on developmental typology. The final chapter of the theoretical section deals with Klaus von Beyme's theory of party families. In the analytical portion, the attention is first directed to the comprehensive definition of the aspects that allow us to express ANO 2011 theoretically. Based on the analysis, ANO 2011 is defined within the party system, typology, and party families. The second part of the analytical portion focuses on the relationship of ANO 2011 with the right-wing parties ODS and TOP 09. This part analyzes whether there is an overlap between the election programs of ODS and TOP 09 and the ideological profiling of ANO 2011. Subsequently I theorize whether this aspect influences the future development of both parties. The findings indicate that ANO 2011...

In the context of the post-election period, the thesis examines specific steps taken by the president in the government formation process in order to evaluate whether the manifestations of the president's influence are in line with the basic preconditions for the functioning of the executive power. The issue of confidence is assessed with respect to whether it is necessary for the government to rely on the confidence of the Chamber of Deputies, both in terms of relations between the executive and the legislature, but also regarding the government performance. Emphasis is therefore placed on the complex problematization of the investiture vote and the issue of confidence is then analysed primarily at the level of government's accountability to the Chamber of Deputies. Furthermore, the thesis confronts the first cabinet of Andrej Babiš with the basic prerequisites for effective government and aims to prove whether its appointment created a cabinet with the potential to govern...
