Migration crisis in the rhetorics of eurosceptical parties - content analysis
Chlumský, David ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (referee)
This master's thesis deals with a depiction of a European migrant crisis in an agenda of Eurosceptic parties. The main goal of this thesis is to analyse the content of press releases and political programmes of selected Eurosceptic parties and, based on this, to examine their attitudes to the migrant crisis and possible connections with a degree of their Euroscepticism. There are four parties in this research selected according to the degree of Euroscepticism and the net immigration rate of their countries resulting in a research sample of two soft and two hard Eurosceptic parties from four different countries - two with high and two with low net immigration rate. A time frame of research is set from January 2015 to September 2016, which covers a main period of immigration waves. The research proved that there are some common characteristics among Eurosceptic parties and their attitudes to the migration, but more important factor is a main ideology of given party beyond its Euroscepticism. We could observe a wide spectrum of opinions from manifestations of solidarity and efforts to constructively resolve the crisis, through simple criticism towards the European union up to anti-migration rhetoric with elements of a xenophobia. After an evaluation of all factors we could say that hard Eurosceptic...

Populismus v současné české a německé stranické politice - příklad Alternativy pro Německo a Svobody a přímé demokracie v České republice
RŮŽIČKOVÁ, Veronika

I focus on two parties in particular, one within the framework of the German and another within the Czech parliament party system. I provide insight on the main characteristics and differences between the German political party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), and the Czech political party Svoboda a přímá demokracie - Tomio Okamura (SPD) in terms of temporary development, structure of the organization, election program and canvass. Further, an analysis of the election results in both parliaments in those countries is pointed out.
