Dytrych, Martin ; Slačálek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Polášek, Martin (referee)
This bachelor's degree work focuses on examination of the civic association Workers' Party Youth (Dělnická mládež), the only youth association affiliated with an far-right party in the Czech Republic. An analysis has been performed of its creation, its development, its local organizations and the composition of its membership base. Although Workers' Party Youth is legally a completely independent entity, it actually works in cooperation with the Workers' Party of Social Justice, which it supports. The extent of interconnection between these two entities is the main focus of the research on a domestic level. In relation to cooperation with groups abroad, the extent of inspiration from and real affiliation with the youth organization NPD Die Jungen Nationaldemokraten, which the Workers' Party Youth itself identifies as its model, is examined.
