Děcká, Dana ; Jüptner, Petr (advisor) ; Čapek, Jakub (referee)
The bachelor thesis examines early local elections in the Ústí nad Labem region. The thesis aims to quantify the phenomenon of early local elections and to determine their circumstances and impacts.

The thesis uses mainly data from the Czech Statistical Office, personal interviews and documents of individual municipalities, which are mainly minutes of municipal council meetings.

Subsequently, the causes of the elections, the reasons for the resignation of councillors, the results of the extraordinary elections and, last but not least, the consequences that are related to the holding of early local elections in the individual municipalities of the Ústí nad Labem Region are mapped. This is directly related to the deduction of the possibility of preventing their holding through substitutes and the identification of changes in the municipal council and changes in the position of the mayor of the municipality. The work does not avoid the current electoral period, mostly because of the consequences, and in some...

Krpálková, Soňa ; Jüptner, Petr (advisor) ; Čmejrek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Bubeníček, Václav (referee)
The submitted dissertation includes the issue of repeated holding of new elections to municipal councils leading to the blocking of a municipality.

In its theoretical part, the thesis contains a large amount of data revealing the extent of the problem and its legislative background. Part of the theoretical and contextual anchoring is also an extensive European comparison of the legislation affecting the holding of elections after the decrease in the number of council members. The empirical part is then focused on the specific reasons for the repeated holding of new elections in selected municipalities of the research sample, along with their subsequent categorization and the creation of a typology of blocked municipalities, including a thorough description of individual types of municipalities with examples. The dissertation presents a possible legislative solution to the whole situation and critically evaluates the recommendations of the Ministry of the Interior applied.

TOMANOVÁ, Lucie

Failed Municipalities in the Czech Republic
Hornek, Jakub ; Jüptner, Petr (advisor)
The presented dissertation thesis deals with endangered municipalities, where a specific threat to the municipality can potentially lead to the extinction of self-government. The phenomenon of endangered municipalities has not been comprehensively investigated within the framework of political science even though it is part of the issue of the functioning of the democratic process at the local level.

The dissertation thesis seeks to contribute to the opening of a necessary discussion that should not remain aloof from political science. The thesis first examines the European context, which is crucial for the actual identification of different types of threats to municipalities. Five types of threats to the European municipalities have been identified. Individual types of threats have been described and possible threat scenarios created. Empirical examples have also been provided for each threat, based on which terminology has been proposed that can be used in political science to examine municipalities in trouble. The terminology has been used to systematize possible variants of municipal threats, and individual threats have been assigned to the...
