Conciliation extra-parliamentary bodies of the first Czechoslovak Republic
Marečková, Adéla ; Šušlíková, Lada (advisor) ; Adler, Tomáš (referee)
My bachelor's thesis "Conciliation extra-parliamentary bodies of the first Czechoslovak Republic" focuses on informal groups that emerged during the first Czechoslovak Republic from 1918 to 1938. These extra-parliamentary bodies had mainly stabilization character and helped to achieve consensus across political parties. The first was "the Five", group of leaders of five major political parties. "The Five" existed from 1921 to 1925 when the first government of Antonín Švehla collapsed. The second one was the Castle Group that formed around president T. G. Masaryk and Edvard Beneš. The Castle Group supporters were certain politicians, intellectuals and journalists. The Castle Group was closer to socialist parties, while "the Five" to civil parties. The Tradesmen's bank group, which operated in the economic sector, was quite similar to the named power centres. Its main representative was a banker Jaroslav Preiss. Despite their not very democratic character "the Five" and the Castle Group helped to sustain democracy in the first Czechoslovak Republic.

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.
