Christian parties in Switzerland, in Austria and in Germany - a comparison
TRAPL, Dominik
This bachelor's thesis deals with the three most important Christian parties, namely the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, including its sister Christian Social Union of Bavaria (CSU) operating in the territory of the Free State of Bavaria. Furthermore, Die Mitte in the Swiss Confederation, which was cre-ated on 1/1/2021 by the merger of the Christian Democratic People's Party (CVP) and the Civic Democratic Party (BDP). Then the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) in the Republic of Austria. These are political parties that have a common basis in the Christian traditions to which they subscribe. Nevertheless, over the years there has been a permissive aban-donment of these traditions, which is particularly noticeable in the Austrian People's Par-ty, which already wants to be the party of all citizens of Austria, regardless of their reli-gion. In my theoretical part, I focused on the characteristics of Christian parties, including youth organizations. In the following practical part, I analyse the elections to the lower houses of the parliaments for the last 10 years, i.e. the electoral successes of the men-tioned Christian parties and their subsequent representation in the lower house between 2011 and 2021. Then I deal with the election programs of the Christian parties on the se-lected topics. So, my goal is to look for common aspects to certain social problems, but also different attitudes.

The bachelor's thesis "One Hundred Years of KDU-ČSL on the Czech Political Scene: Party Development and Comparison with the Austrian ÖVP" primarily deals with a detailed analysis of the Czech political party KDU-ČSL and subsequent comparison with the Austrian political party ÖVP. The aim is to find out why KDU-ČSL does not achieve such electoral support in the Czech Republic as ÖVP does in Austria. The main concept of the thesis is a political party, therefore is the thesis first devoted to its definition and theories of the emergence of political parties based on different typologies. Last but not least, bachelor's thesis also deals with a detailed historical analysis of the KDU-ČSL and ÖVP. The main part of the bachelor thesis is contained in the last chapter, which is a comparison of both political parties, election results, membership and electoral base, organizational structure, or current election programs. In the end, the results of the comparison are evaluated, in which data from professional sources and available statistics were used.
