Süssová, Karolína ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Stauber, Jakub (referee)
Bachelor thesis "Programmatic shift of the Czech Green party: a changing concept of environmental policy" provides an analysis of program's development of the Czech Green party, a specific party of the Czech party system. I use a comparison of available electoral programs prepared by party for elections to the Chamber of Deputies from 1990 to 2013.The comparison reflects both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis of the electoral programs. The greatest emphasis is placed on environmental topics and green policy. This analysis is set in the context of the historical development of the party, which is generally feature of Green Parties. That is why I also concentrate on two basic concepts of ecological thinking - environmentalism and ecologism, whose different approaches are reflected in the political reality of Green Parties as an ideological conflict by moderates (realos) and radicals (fundis).
