Within the limits of legality? NPD under constant threat of ban.
Žáček, Martin ; Konrád, Ota (advisor) ; Novotný, Lukáš (referee)
This study follows the development of the extreme right political party NPD or more precisely the development of all relevant events that led to the attempt to ban the party in 2001. Which factors contributed to make a decision to make a motion to ban the NPD? How did the trial look like and what consequences the decision of the Constitutional Court will have for the future? Answering these questions is the aim of this study. There were several factors that led to the trial in 2001. Firstly it was the very possibility of banning a political party and the whole concept of the militant democracy as it is anchored in the "German constitution" (Grundgesetz). The second factor was the historical transformation and the resulting radicalization of the NPD. The third and at the same time crucial factor was the relatively hectic political discussion in 2000. The trial in 2003 ultimately failed due to secret confidants. However the possibility of banning the NPD was not excluded. As a result of that, the NPD did not get rid of the threat of the ban.

Hátleová, Tereza ; Konrád, Ota (advisor) ; Kunštát, Miroslav (referee)
Hátleová Abstract Bachelor thesis focuses on the rise of the Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs in Austria from the middle of 90s of twentieth century until the National council election in 1994, when the party gained more than 22 percent of the votes. First, the thesis explains partial and political system of the Austria on the basis of the secondary literature. Further, it deals with the concept of Proporz and development of the Freedom party after the Second World War. In the next capture, immigration to Austria and its historical background is covered. Immigration is analyzed as a tool of populist politician Jörg Haider, leader of the Freedom Party. Third part of the thesis identifies Volksbegehren, an unique tool of direct democracy. The study of the Volksbegehren "Austria First" initiated by the Freedom Party connects the topic of immigration and right-wing politics and it serves as an example of reaction of Austrians on the extreme-right propaganda of the Freedom Party. The last part of the thesis searches for the causes of the Freedom Party's success in National council election in 1994.
