Kocábek, Pavel ; Kubátová, Hana (advisor) ; Hájek, Lukáš (referee)
This thesis deals with far-right parties in Slovakia. The objective is to compare them based on selected factors in order to answer the question: Who is the far-right voter in Slovakia today? For this purpose, the most successful far-right parties in recent years were chosen: the Slovak National Party (SNS), the People's Party Our Slovakia (ĽSNS), and a new formation called Republic. The factors adopted are characteristics and genesis, electorate and geographic support definition, and electoral volatility. The paper is divided into four parts. The first part concerns the far-right in Eastern Europe and Slovakia especially. In the second part, the focus is placed on the milestones that shaped and changed the Slovak political environment. Specifically, these are the Slovak state, the transformation period, Mečiar and anti-Hungarian politics, the fall of Mečiar, Fico and a government with the SNS, and the murder of Ján Kuciak. The third chapter analyses individual parties according to the factors mentioned above. Finally, the comparison itself is approached, where differences are identified but particularly parallels. Based on these findings, the author subsequently answers the research question.

Koreň, Marián ; Charvát, Jan (advisor) ; Kubátová, Hana (referee)
Senior thesis "The development of electoral support of far-right parties in Slovakia during 2010-2016 and factors influencing this support" examines the development of electoral support of Slovak National Party and People's Party Our Slovakia using some of the tools of electoral support geography. The theoretical part is dedicated to existing definitions of extreme right-wing parties through which the choice of parties for further examination is made. The analytical part is split into two parts: the first classifies electoral support through the method of region and core of electoral support. At the same time, the first part defines regions which have had a stable electoral support throughout the entire observed period. All findings are presented in a cartographic form. Using an array of statistical tools, the latter part takes on the task of correlating the results of elections, in regards to far-right parties, with selected demographic characteristics of municiplaties, which are assumed to have positive impact upon the income of far-right parties.
