Czech party system and its development after 1989: liberal parties in the Czech party system
Rozsypal, Michael ; Charvát, Jan (advisor) ; Šurda Malcová, Karolína (referee)
This work focuses on development of the Czech party system after the country's transition to democracy after 1989. The research principally deals with liberal parties, their development and position in the Czech party system. Liberal parties in the Czech Republic have not been very popular in long time horizon. The main goal of the work is to analyze formation, development and eventual disintegration of liberal parties and to answer the question why liberal parties have found it difficult to establish themselves in the middle of political spectrum. The results of parliamentary elections regularly show that there is a possibility to be elected by circa 7-15% of votes - mainly from the middle-class; despite that fact, no liberal party has managed to gain a long-term support from their voters. The work describes the origin and evolution of liberalism in the world and in the Czech lands. It shows its inclusion in the left-right political spectrum and the difference between political and economic liberalism. The analysis is based on the election results [mainly to the Chamber of Deputies] from 1989 to 2010. The third chapter is devoted to the liberal parties in the past and present in the Czech Republic and in the conclusion, the work attempts to provide answers to the research questions asked in the...

Malcová, Karolína ; Lebeda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mrklas, Ladislav (referee)
The objective of the thesis is a detailed analysis of the senatorial elections on a micro-level in the following four election districts: district № 12 - the area of Strakonice, district № 15 - the area of Pelhřimov, district № 51 - the area of Žďár nad Sázavou and district № 54 - the area of Znojmo in the framework of two regular election terms in the years 1996 and 2002. In the initial theoretical part, the thesis copes with majority electoral systems, deals with their internal classification and examines in more detail the effects of a two-round voting. A separate chapter of the thesis presents the Senate of the Czech Republic's Parliament as an upper chamber in the milieu of Czech parliamentarism and brings nearer the electoral system, embodied by law, exactly for the elections to the Senate. The second practical part of the thesis focuses on the micro-analysis of - in total - eight delimited senatorial elections. In the framework of each election district, the thesis takes into account internal socioeconomic and political circumstances, monitors characteristic features of individual electoral candidates and also the distribution of the electorate among three categories of municipalities, i.e. large towns with the population over five thousand inhabitants, middle size municipalities with the population...
