CRISIS OF PARTY SYSTEMS AND CARETAKER GOVERMENTS: Czech Republic and Italy
Seidel, Antonín ; Buben, Radek (advisor) ; Znoj, Milan (referee)
Since 1990s of the twentieth century to the present, the so called caretaker governments have served as a political crisis solution in the Czech Republic as well as in Italy. Caretaker government is an institute of temporary cabinets with a non-partisan prime minister. Other members of this type of government are usually non-partisan as well (but not necessarily all of them). This is the main feature that distinguishes the caretaker government from the traditional government led by political parties. The thesis aims to identify common points and circumstances leading to the establishment of caretaker governments on the example of two relatively close parliamentary republics from the institutional design's point of view. It focuses mainly on the status of political parties as it is their failure that leads to the fall of the previous cabinet and to the situation when it is impossible to form a parliamentary majority in order to establish new government led by political parties. Special attention is also paid to a role of the president of the republic. Face to face with weakened political parties, he executes his powers in a more autonomous way in accordance with a presidential accordion theory described by Mauro Tebaldi, especially his powers to appoint the prime minister which fundamentally works...

The thesis analyzes the key conditions under which technocratic cabinets in Europe are formed. There are 45 technocratic cabinets in Europe since 1989. This year is connected with collapse of communist regimes in Central and East Europe and democratization. There are also similar political, economic and social conditions under which all governments are formed in this period. The thesis composed of nineteen chapters.

Appointing Jiří Rusnok's cabinet: an analysis of the rise of a presidential cabinet
Štěch, Daniel ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Mlejnek, Josef (referee)
The thesis is concerned with the appointing government of Jiří Rusnok and with the analysis of formation of this presidential cabinet. The first part deals with the theoretical basics and it explains fundamental terms. In the second part, the way of creating caretaker government, with all its consequences, is displayed. The similarities and differences between former caretaker governments are compared. The thesis observes whether the steps that Miloš Zeman took have led to the shift from the parliamentary system to the semi-presidential system. According to the analysis, I draw a conclusion that it really happened. He enforced his Prime Minister without previous agreement with parliament parties, and he ignored the coalition that declared a parliament majority. The president did not take into consideration the customs that has been applied to date. Based on the legitimacy given him by direct election, he decided that his policy is the best for the country and his voters. Keywords Vote of confidence, Jiří Rusnok, Miloš Zeman, presidential cabinet, caretaker government, constitutional competence, constitutional practice.
