Populism and the Covid-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
Fryšová, Veronika ; Barša, Pavel (advisor) ; Slačálek, Ondřej (referee)
(in English): The aim of the thesis is to analyse populism and populist rhetoric during the coronavirus pandemic in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. First, the thesis will define the differentiated types of populism in Central Europe in the last 10 years. Based on this foundation, it will be possible to analyse how the governments of the Czech and Slovak Republics responded to the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis and how they responded to its developmental stages. The main question posed in this thesis will be how and in what ways populism manifested itself in the two countries during the crisis period. Additionally, the thesis will examine the differences between the governments of the Czech and Slovak Republics, the specifics of their handling of the pandemic, and the potential specifics of their populist rhetoric. Another question that will be reflected in the thesis is the factor of nationalism and its impact on populist or non-populist decisions of these governments. Methodologically, the thesis will be based on theories of populism and discursive analysis of open primary sources.
