The Partido Verde, the Partido Ecologista and the Proyecto...

Dědič, Ondřej ; Dvořáková, Michaela (advisor) ; Zicha, Zbyněk (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis entitled Political participation in citizenship education at the second stage of basic education is, based on a comparison of curricular documents, to identify the topics and outcomes that will lead to the promotion of political participation, to carry out a didactic analysis of selected political topics and to propose a suitable didactic procedure for teaching these topics in citizenship education classes at the second level of primary schools and in the lower grades of multi-year grammar schools. The presented procedure is based on the three-phase model of E-U-R learning and combines different methods, organizational forms and models of teaching. The emphasis is on working with authentic texts and the development of key competences according to the Framework Curriculum for Primary Schools. At the same time, taking into account the conditions and trends at the time of writing the diploma thesis, each lesson is designed with the possibility of moving the teaching to a distance form. The starting point for why this thesis is being written in the first place and why its objectives are set in this way is an analysis of research on political participation in selected countries. The research findings point to some problematic places in the teaching of citizenship education...

Kačírek, Lukáš ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with problematics regarding the theory of institutionalization and its application on certain political subjects in Central Europe. The thesis is based on multi-case study which analyses two political parties - Slovak SMER-SD and Czech ČSSD, using political science concept of institutionalization. The main objective is to analyse both parties since their foundation and to obtain results regarding these theoretical questions: 1) Is the strong institutionalization the main reason for longevity of social democratic parties? 2) What are the similarities and differences between each political party in level of their institutionalization? The thesis uses theories of institutionalization by Robert Harmel, Lars Svåsand and Hilmar Mjelde to acquire answers to these questions. Theories of institutionalization are then supplemented by Jakub Stauber's criteria; each dimension of the theory is further elaborated. At first, both political systems are introduced in which concerned parties operate, then the thesis follows up with approach of selected authors towards theory of institutionalization. Lastly, the thesis focuses on the research itself and inspection and comparison of final results.

Likely voter model in July 2021
Pilnáček, Matouš
In a survey conducted by Public Opinion Research Centre in July 2021, we investigated how people trust political Parties and whether they are willing to take part in elections to the Chamber of Deputies. In the press release, there are two different types of information: the likely voter model and the party preferences. The likely voter model indicates the anticipated result of hypothetical elections to the Chamber of Deputies at the time of conducting the survey. The party preferences give us information about public sympathy for political parties in the group of citizens who have voting right, and there is also included a part of citizens who will not take part in elections, or they do not know who to vote for.
