Consequences of opposition agreement
Eibl, Lukáš ; Novák, Miroslav (advisor) ; Švec, Radek (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines the implications and impacts of the opposition agreement between the political parties the ČSSD and the ODS. The introduction is the definition of the way for the conclusion of the contract and the circumstances of its creation. Subsequently the work deals with the analysis and definition of the main causes leaded up to the opposition agreement. On the basis of these causes are identified major themes and objectives of both opposition parties including the definition of what exactly these two sides promised by this unusual and surprising cooperation. The next chapter is concerned with the main theme of this work which is an analysis of the effects and impacts of the opposition agreement. The consequences associated with the Czech political system are analysed at first. The greatest emphasis is placed on the consequences of the new electoral law and its comparison with the original electoral law. The next is the analyse of the transformation and development of the Czech party system during the term of the opposition agreement. I've used Sartori's typology of party systems for this analysis. In addition there are mentioned and discussed also other consequences that are linked to the opposition agreement and that in some way related to political and public affairs....

Chlupáč, Zdeněk ; Jüptner, Petr (advisor) ; Švec, Kamil (referee)
Czech party system can be described as relatively young compared to other, especially western European party systems. However in these days we can identify a number of regional parties inside it. This work answers the question how we can accurately identify which political entities belong to the group of regional parties in the context of the Czech Republic and which not. Likewise, it brings analysis of the position of these kinds of formations in the Czech political system. The theoretical part deals with the definition of "regional party". It brings several different theoretical approaches, which deal with the definition of that term, and then examines the application of the definition of regional parties to the case of the Czech Republic. In the analytical part, which is a case study, there is defined circuit of Czech regional parties. After that it is presented comprehensive analysis of these subjects on base of official documents of these parties, such as their articles of association, political program etc., as well as statistical data kept in the databases of central government authorities of the Czech Republic and interviews with members of selected regional formations. Particular attention is paid to these phenomena: the circumstances of creation of selected regional parties, as well as...

4-Coalition- anomaly or the expression of the systemic tendency? Case study of the Czech party system
Hanáček, Vladimír ; Bureš, Jan (advisor) ; Koubek, Jiří (referee)
v anglickém jazyce: This study focuses on the analysis of former Czech political project of "4-Coalition", which was established by four Czech oppositional parties (KDU-ČSL, US, ODA and DEU) in the years 1998 - 2002. This analysis is done through the case study, which focuses on the development of "4-Coalition" in its three developmental stages: from the cooperation of the sovereign parties, throw the formalized platform of party cooperation to the project of "4- Coalition" as a peculiar actor of the Czech politics. The analysis of ideological background, program and personnel questions shows the potential tensions, that arose inside of "4- Coalition", gives them in the appropriate historical context and analyses its causes. These tensions together with the external factors are viewed as a fundamental cause of the final failure of the project of "4-Coalition" and its disintegration. The aim of this study is to answer the question, whether it is possible in party system perspective to speak about "4-Coalition" as a potential third pole of the Czech party system, or whether it is anomaly, which the systemic tendency to the bipolar configuration doesn't infringe. With regard to the continuing relevance of only one left-right dimension of the party competition and the completion of the project of so...

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...
