Czech political parties - from cadre to mass parties
Pleskač, Jan ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
The presented text of this thesis focuses on the issue of changing the organizational structure of a party, or on the transition of one type of political party to another, ie from the side of the cadres to the side of the masses. The work is based primarily on the Duverger's classification of political parties, on the basis of which the criteria are based on which the parties are judged. These criteria are defined in the first part of the text. In the second part of the text, this typology is applied to selected political parties. Each of the monitored parties is examined separately according to the criteria presented and defined in the first part of the text. The research sample of this work is made up of the so-called "five" parties, ie Agrarians, Social Democrats, National Democrats, Christian Democrats and National Socialists. The thesis deals with the extent to which the designated political parties correspond to one or the other type and what changes their internal organization has experienced. In other words, whether there has been a change in the organizational structure, ie the change from the cadre-type to the mas-type side and, if so, in what specific parameters.
From mass party to catch-all party?
Pravda, Petr ; Polášek, Martin (advisor) ; Buben, Radek (referee)
This thesis concerns the Czechoslovak Social Democracy in the 1930's and 1940's. Its aim is to investigate whether the Social Democratic Party in the Third Republic moved from a mass party towards being a catch-all party. It investigates whether the move was in line with Otto Kirchheimer's theory. The thesis is divided into four parts. The first part is theoretically orientated. It analyzes how and why there was a move from a mass party towards a catch-all party. It also contains in which areas the change occured and how it occured. The second part focuses on whether the Social Democratic Party in the First Republic can be considered in the typology of political parties as a mass party. There is a conclusion that we can call it a mass party. The third part analyzes if the Social Democratic Party in the Third Republic moved from being a mass party to a catch-all party. The conclusion is that this happened. The final part is dedicated to whether the Social Democratic Party in the Third Republic moved closer to being a catch-all party in line with Otto Kirchheimer's theory. This part concludes that it was in line with this theory.
