The phenomenon of "business parties" in the European and Czech context
Hudcová, Nikola ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Vymětal, Petr (referee)
The main aim of the diploma thesis is to introduce a new phenomenon the business-firm party, an organizational type of political party. The first chapter deals with the concept of political party and the development of organizational types. The second chapter describes the characteristics of a business-firm party and deals with business-firm parties in Europe: Forza Italia, Union of the Democratic Centre, Positive Slovenia and Your Movement. The last chapter focuses on business-firm parties in the Czech Republic: Public Affairs and ANO 2011. Both parties are analysed in the individual areas that are characteristic for this type of party. Based on the comparison of these two parties, I identify the factors that are key to the success of the business-firm party in the Czech Republic.
ANO 2011: a business firm party?
Zavřel, Filip ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
This thesis called "ANO 2011: a business-firm party?" deals with the analysis of a Czech political movement ANO 2011 in order to determine wheter and/or to what extent political movement ANO 2011 corresponds with business-firm party model, as described by Jonathan Hopkin and Caterina Paolucci in 1999. It is based on the context of a change of party organization and on logic of developmental typology of political parties. The aim is to determine whether the political movement ANO 2011 corresponds to the characteristics of the business-firm party model. The hypothesis here is that in the beginning of the movement it matched the model, while since than there is moving away to the direction of the form of traditional political parties. In another part there is a contribution described to the revision of business-firm party model that offers a modified perspective on the subject. With this perspective the characteristics of the business-firm party model are rather understood as a marketing strategy or a party subtype than as a separate and generally applicable type of political parties.
