ŠVEC, Tomáš
The thesis deals with the development trends of democratic systems in post-communist countries, specifically in the Czech Republic and Poland. It examines how democratic systems were established in those countries and what the changeover to democracy was like. It describes the key events that led to the fall of communist regimes in those countries. The emphasis is put on opposition forces. Then it tries to describe the development trends of democratic systems in the 1990s, especially from the point of view of the party system and parliamentary elections. The thesis deals with political parties and political developments after individual parliamentary elections. The work also surveys the current political situation in the Czech Republic and Poland. The work tries to answer the question, how both states developed from a democratic point of view and the key point is also a comparison of both states.

The Rise and Fall of the Green Party
Sklenářová, Zdeňka ; Bureš, Jan (advisor) ; Polášek, Martin (referee)
Anotation The thesis' purpose is to analyse the evolution of Green Party between 2006 and 2010. Thesis is concentrated on the period when the party recorded under the leadership of M. Bursik its greatest electoral success and managed to not only exceed the electoral clause to enter the Chamber of Deputies, but also participate in forming a government together with the ODS and the KDU - CSL. Soon it became clear that the party was splitted in opinion and there was a struggle between realists, realizing that if they wanted to enforce their policies they would have to accept many compromises, and ecological radicals, who wanted to impose all or nothing. The thesis also describes the work of the Green Party in government and growing conflicts between members of Party, which resulted in the establishment of intra-party fraction "Democratic challenge" and consequent elimination of MPs O. Zubová and V. Jakubková of the Green Party parliamentary group. Particularly, intraparty conflicts and the inability of its President M. Bursik to unite the party meant a slow but steady decline in party preferences. This observation was confirmed by the electoral failures in regional elections and following elections to the European Parliament, after whichM. Bursik resigned. But finally even his successor O. Liška didn't manage...

The Comparison of the voting systems and their effects in the elections to the Chambers of Deputies of the Parliaments of the First Czechoslovak Republic and the Czech Republic between 1989 and 1998
Křemen, Petr ; Lebeda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Lacina, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis presents voting systems of the First Czechoslovak Republic and the Czech Republic between 1989 and 1998. It tries to show their characteristics and effects. It's very interesting to see what effect it may have, when we change only one of variables of the voting system. For example, the Election treshold, which was set to 5% for the election to the Czech National Council and can significantly change the composition of the Czech National Council. It is most visible in the comparison with the system of the First Republic, where no such restrictions exist. The thesis deals firstly with proportional voting system in the first part, because both analyzed systems were proportional. In the next section we can read something about the researched systems and their specific setting of variables. On these basis the systems are then compared. The most important part of this thesis is the chapter about the effects of the voting systems on a party system. The thesis is based on the theoretical framework by Giovanni Sartori and used to examine the indexes of proportionality and of fragmentation. The result of research is to understand what the systems are similar and different in and the effects on a party system and on the behavior of voters.
