Chvalová, Lenka ; Havlík, Radomír (referee) ; Stracený, Josef (advisor)
My dissertation is called "The German Greens", later "Alliance '90/ The Greens" and their programmatic progression". In my résumé I would like to summarize my thesis. Firstly there are some important political terms: a political party, a political movement, a civil initiative and an environmental movement. I tried to define them in coherences. The green parties were usually created from the successful political movements. The green parties have a very similar ideology to the ecological movements. The ecological movements work only on environmental problems whereas the Green Party concerns with social, political and economical problems. Secondly the German Green Party belongs to the left political spectrum. The German Green party has a similarly ideology to the Social Democratic Party of Germany. The main supporters of The Greens are young middle-class voters, often students, employees, well-educated people and women.

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...

Humanist democracy of Edvard Beneš
Podlaha, Petr ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Kuklík jun., Jan (referee)
Beneš was committed to the rather radical economical and political ideas of socialism already before the war. He believed that old parliamentarian system of liberal democracy would be inevitably replaced after the war with the new system of humanitarian democracy - the political democracy amended by the social and economic democracy. Beneš suggested that the government should regulate all the important parts of political, social and economic life of the post-war society. The biggest problem of the Czechoslovak prewar political democracy was according to Beneš, the existence of too many parties. Therefore only two, at most three political parties would be allowed to take part in the political struggle after the war. These parties would be organized solely on the basis of the approach towards progress. On the left side of the political spectrum, there would be a uniform socialist party and on the right, there would be a conservative party. The establishment of any other party should be banned. The communists should be part of the socialist party. According to Beneš they would be outnumbered and neutralized there by the other democratic socialist parties. The market economy according to Beneš is an obsolete system and therefore it should be replaced with a planned economy. All bigger businesses and natural...

The Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and the Process of Perestroika
Štefek, Martin ; Bureš, Jan (advisor) ; Kocian, Jiří (referee)
The aim of my diploma thesis is to analyse the Communist party of Czechoslovakia in the years of 1985-1989 and its response to the process of perestroika, which was initiated in the Soviet Union after Gorbachev's election as a General Secretary of the Communist Party. The analysis proceeds in three steps. First, it explains functioning of the Central Commitee of the KPC and its presidium, and describes the decision-making process inside the party. Second, the third chapter reveals the fact that the January 1987 plenary session of the Central Commitee of the CPSU was a decisive impetus for accepting and initiating a specific process of the perestroika in Czechoslovakia. Third, principles of economic, political and intra-party restructuring are introduced. However, there were limits to the process which were due to the tension between "conservatives" and "progressives" in the leadership. In addition, the thesis notes that personal changes in the central commitee, which were very important for the outcome of the reforms. Last, the empirical evidence is compared with assumptions of theories of non-democratic regimes, and discussed upon the evidence of well-documented changes.
