(Not)Making Autonomy: Activities of Silesian Autonomy Movement on the Platform of the Polish Parliament
Hamatová, Kateřina ; Vykoukal, Jiří (advisor) ; Kubát, Michal (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on activities of the Silesian Autonomy Movement (RAŚ) on the platform on the Polish Parliament, while using theoretical concepts advocacy coalition and agenda setting. In the first part of my thesis, I will define goals of RAŚ and identify three most important ones, which will create the core of my research: Silesian language statute, minority statute of Silesians and problem of Upper Silesian autonomy. Then, I will define political subsystems, which reflect the three already mentioned main topics. Within each political subsystem, I will define two competing advocacy coalitions. In the next chapter I will analyse respective political subsystems and discussions, which is taking place among competing advocacy coalitions. I will stress the importance on the process of policy agenda setting. As a parameter of success I will seek for the existence of legislative proposals, proposed by advocacy coalitions. Then, I will analyse processes within respective political subsystems since 2005. In the final part of my thesis, I will strive to answer my research questions and compare the results with my hypotheses. Thanks to my research, I will be able to better understand activities of RAŚ, and of advocacy coalitions respectively, on national level.
