Hrušková, Tereza ; Mejstřík, Martin (advisor) ; Tomalová, Eliška (referee)
The thesis Party Change of the Northern League in Italy, deals with the transformation of the Italian Northern League (LN) from regional to national political party. The study aims to be a contribution to a larger scholarly discussion about changes of the Italian political system. Under the criteria that define a regional political party this thesis evaluate whether the contemporary LN truly transformed from regional to national party. The study than connects with the previous findings and follows with analysis of the five factors - the most recent party performance, political system change, institutionalization, leadership change and socio-economic changes in the country which could have affected party's agenda. Different variables are derived from the Kenneth Janda's theory of change in political parties. The research uses the data from the 2013 national parliamentary elections, when LN lost large part of its electorate, and the 2015 regional elections in order to evaluate which of the above mentioned factors influenced the process of transformation of the LN.

Does the Northern League (Lega Nord) belong to the populist radical right party family?
Ferrarová, Miroslava ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Slačálek, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of this PhDr. thesis is to verify the hypothesis that the Northern League does belong to the populist radical right party family. The work is based on present politologic theoretic approaches, where the criteria determined by Dutch researcher Cas Mudde as typical for this kind of political parties have been applied for verification of the hypothesis. In verifying the hypothesis I worked on the sources content analysis. It was mainly the matter of Northern League's electoral programmes, political documents, party leaders and members' opinions published in the party daily La Padania, registrations of public speaches and interviews by party leader Umberto Bossi and other representatives, manifestos, radio Padania libera broadcasts and laws proposed by Northern League ministres to the Italian Parliament. Northern League was studied in the context of political and party system development in Italy from the unification untill the present day. The results of the analysis have confirmed the presence of all the signs complying with Mudde's maximal and minimal definition ie. nativism, authoritarism and populism. This result classes the Northern League among populist radical right party family.
