Stauber, Jakub ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
This thesis examines the formation and stabilization of genuinely new political parties in the Czech Republic through the theory of institutionalization.

There are mentioned main approaches to the classification of new political parties, focusing on category of genuinely new political parties in the following chapter. These parties come to party system as external actors, so they represent suitable cases for examining the impact of their electoral gains at the rate of institutionalization. The next section is dedicated to development of the Czech party system with regard to the increasing success of genuinely new political parties.

Thus, organizational development of Public Affairs is described on the basis of pre-defined theoretical categories. Consequently, observed trends...

This thesis deals with the success of the two newly formed parties ANO 2011 and Úsvit přímé demokracie Tomia Okamury in the elections to the House of Commons in the Czech Republic in 2013. These two parties gained a substantial percentage of votes and became part of the government despite the fact, that they were established shortly before the elections. In the theoretical part of this thesis, the formation and success of new parties abroad and in the Czech Republic is analysed. The main focus are the voters voting these parties, so there is an extended part dealing with voting behavior in the Czech Republic. Secondary analysis is the research method used in this thesis; its advantages are discussed in the methodological part. Secondary analysis of multiple high quality data sets is used to compare the voters of the new parties and the voters of other established parties. It turns out there are significant differences between these two groups in the areas of sociodemography, political views and experiences and even outlooks on life. The trend of new parties, which started already in the 2010 elections, is obviously continuing and it seems that it is even broadening.
