Fuksová, Veronika ; Wintr, Jan (advisor) ; Koubek, Jiří (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of the Senate's position as one of the chambers of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. The basic question pervading the whole thesis is whether the Senate in the Czech Republic has legitimate position. This question is considered in several connotations, both in comparison with second chambers of other countries and their functions, and in terms of the position of the Czech Senate in its partial powers. The thesis is presented with a brief overview of the evolution of legislative bodies in the period from the First Republic to the early nineties when the formation of the current form of bicameral parliament took place. Other chapters focus on its subsequent development which is marked by the period when the Senate was not established and its functions ensured the Chamber of Deputies. Furthermore, the thesis is focused on issues related to constitutional and legal embodiment of the Senate, the question of the extent and effectiveness of the use of its powers and the thesis deals with critical views too. The conclusion summarizes the results that came from the analysis, answers the research question and determines the possible subsequent development. Key words: the Senate, the Parliament of the Czech republic, constitutional system, tradition, bicameralism, powers

The elections 2012: analysis of the media aspectof the election campaign of KDU-ČSL
Pohaněl, Jan ; Dolanský, Pavel (advisor) ; Trampota, Tomáš (referee)
The atmosphere of the election campaign before the elections in October 2012 was not such fierce as during the last campaign. It was mainly due to absence of a major topic that would polarise the society, like the health fees in 2008. The ČSSD tried to find a similar controversial topic that might have been the church restitutions for a moment. The purpose of the negative campaign was to discourage people from voting the governmental parties ODS and TOP 09, but it also could weaken the KDU-ČSL that was and still is closely connected with churches, especially the catholic church. The representatives of the KDU-ČSL themselves didn't publish any opinions concerning this matter, with only few exceptions. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse and evaluate the media output of the KDU-ČSL during the election campaign that was run before the elections to the regional governments and the Senate. In the first part, the main leaders of the KDU-ČSL are introduced, following by a detailed description of the campaigns in the respective regions and the senate circuits. The next part is devoted to a quantitative content analysis that examines the influence of the election forecasting models presented in the media on the decision of the voters, or the outcomes of the KDU-ČSL. The following qualitative analysis...

The debate of the Czech communist party ban phenomenon
KOZOVÁ, Michaela
The main issue of this thesis is to analyze the debate of the Czech largest communist party ban phenomenon The Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM). The thesis is divided into two thematic parts. The first part describes the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia. It then continues with the Giovani Sartori´s anti-system parties theory explained by the Czech political scientist Michal Kubat relating directly to the KSČM. The last section of the first part describes formal procedure of suspension activities and the dissolution of a political party under the current laws of the Czech Republic. This law is demonstrated by a case of Workers' Party dissoluted in 2010. In the second part I focus on emergence of Temporary Commission for assessing the constitutionality of KSČM and then the work of Senator Jaromir Stetina, the chairman of the Commission. In addition I try to summarize the content of the analyses by the Security Policy Department of the Ministry of Interior and the experts polled by this Department. Experts have dealt with the case law in Czech courts in the matter of suspending the activities of political parties and the constitutionality of the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia.
