Pour, Jiří ; Novák, Miroslav (advisor) ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (referee)
The topic of this bachelor thesis is the formation of Spanish party system from the democratic transition and first free elections in 1977 until now. It follows two mutually interconnected lines - the development and relations of parties on the national level, i.e. the whole party system, and the internal development, structure and functioning of the parties themselves as elements of the party system. The thesis starts with chapter The Franco Regime, which serves as a historical introduction to the issue and calls attention to important events that preceded the Spanish transition to democracy. The second chapter, The Transition to Democracy, slowly abandons the historical perspective and presents an analysis of the first democratic elections and the first democratically governing party - Unión de Centro Democrático. These two chapters are followed by the third chapter The Party System which is the real core of this thesis. In its subchapters are examined: the legal basis of the party system, the conditions of developing Spanish democracy and its impact on the party system and at last the main political powers in Spain of the last 30 years - Partido Socialista Obrero Español and Partido Popular. On the background of detailed examination of these two parties can be seen the development of the...

Mravcová, Martina ; Šušlíková, Lada (advisor) ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (referee)
My bachelor thesis deals with the analyses of the Second Spanish Republic, with insistence on political system and development from the foundation of the Republic on 12 of June in 1931 to military coup and the beginning of civil war in 1936. One part is turning to the form of republican regime, its functioning and its constitutional and legislative embodiment in the Constitution of 1931. This analysis reflects all important factors of the political system - the institutional system, correlation power authorities, electoral system and party system. Unstable republican regime during its short period was characterized by frequent rotation of governments of different ideological aims, governmental inefficiency, and large number of parties, increasing polarization of the society, party competition and impossibility of consensus between governmental representatives of opposite ideological attitude. In the part dedicated to real political development governments of individual republican groupings are analysed: caretaker government, leftist republican-socialist two-year period, center-right two-year period and the beginning of People Front government. In conclusion the beginning of military rebellion and civil war is briefly outlined.

Šárovec, Daniel ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Švec, Kamil (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to discuss new political parties in the context of the Czech party system. Movement ANO 2011 and Dawn of Direct Democracy are the researched subjects which broke through elections to the Chamber of Deputies in the Czech Republic in 2013. This multiple case study proceeds from the basic and ambiguously gripped notion political party to diverse theoretical aspects of newness, trying to briefly define the Czech party system in the context of new political parties. It is done in terms of legislative rules for (not only new) political parties and also from a developmental view. Afterwards the empirical part works with particular characteristics of two chosen subjects - it gradually focuses on their emergence and development, programme, the leader and members, electoral campaign and their participation in elections. The task of the individual characteristics is to introduce both subjects accurately so their common and different traits are obvious. The gained findings are later assessed by the view of the chosen Sikk's theory of newness. There is examined if ANO and Dawn fall into some of the categories defined by this theory. The diploma thesis tries to shift the state of knowledge of new Czech political parties and refers to the positives and negatives of the chosen...
