Financing of political parties in the Czech Republic
Novotný, Petr ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Němec, Jan (referee)
How can funding of political parties affect the outcome of elections? What impact has the legislation on financing political parties on political system? Is it possible that the government's political parties using this scheme remain in power? I will bring in this work the current theoretical background by leading experts on financing of political parties, as well as a separate chapter on giving patterns, showing signs of functionality and portability to other political systems. Finally, I will analyze trends of legislative funding of political parties in the Czech Republic, the current adjustment and its impact on the Czech political system. In all areas, I will try to identify the basic areas of problems and dilemmas. I will outline possible solutions where appropriate, to which I result of studying the theory, or of my own invention. In conclusion the objective of such analysis is to monitor and verify the following hypotheses. 1. Amendments to legislation are intended to enhance the transparency of the financing of political parties and to prevent corrupt behavior. 2. The funding of political parties tends to strengthen their cartelization, i.e. making access of political parties outside the establishment to high politics difficult. 3. The legislation meets the basic requirements placed on it, its implementation is feasible and its compliance is enforceable. The keywords are: the funding of political parties, (mainland) horizontal contribution, (Canadian) system of tax credits, (German) matching funds, contribution to the work, contribution to the electoral costs, contribution to the mandate, the Constitutional Court.
