Libayová, Barbora ; Just, Petr (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
The political situation in Slovakia has undergone several significant changes since the murder of journalist Ján Kuciak in 2018. In a short period of time, there was the resignation of the long- time Prime Minister Robert Fico, the split of the Smer-SD party, the election of the former opposition government headed by Igor Matovič, which was marked not only by the pandemic and the beginning of the war in Ukraine, but also by chaos, until its fall and the establishment of the government of experts. This led Slovakia to early parliamentary elections in 2023, which to a large extent polarized society. This thesis is therefore devoted to the media image of these elections in four Czech media, idnes.cz, aktualne.cz, echo24.cz and denikn.cz, which reported on the event in considerable detail. It provides a detailed description of the political situation, changes in the party system and post-election events from the murder to the post-election period. Using a quantitative content analysis, it answers the questions of coverage and representation of political parties in the Czech media, where the Smer party was represented to up to 50 percent, and in a qualitative framing analysis it describes the most frequently occurring contexts in which the media reported on the topic, pointing out the frequent...

"Unser Weg hat erst begonnen!" The political rise of Sebastian Kurz and political profiling of Austrian People's Party under his leadership
HOTOVÝ, Jakub
The diploma thesis deals with the political rise of Sebastian Kurz and his influence on the Austrian People's Party, which he took over as a leader in May 2017. The primary aim of the thesis is to analyse the factors that led to Kurz's steep career growth and to subsequent electoral success. The first part will focus on the political development of the current leader of the ÖVP and will describe his actions as Secretary of State for Integration and Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs. The subsequent change in the presidency of the ÖVP caused an unprecedented change in voter preferences, from which the People's Party benefited with victories in the 2017 and 2019 National Council elections. The mentioned parliamentary elections will be analysed in the light of the ÖVP election campaign and the role of its leader. In the final part, I will focus on the two subsequent cabinets under the Kurz's leadership and the question of the extent to which the party identifies with its leader or how both coalition governments of the People's Party with two ideologically different parties influenced the ÖVP profile.

The Friends and Neighbours Effect and Its Relevance to Voting Behaviour in Czech Parliamentary Elections
Pileček, Radek
Voter decision-making about which political party to support in the elections is a very complex process. One of the key factors influencing our voting behaviour is the effect of particular candidates in terms of their local activities. Many Czech and also foreign studies show that candidates gain significantly higher preferences in the municipality of their residence and its surroundings. Within the analyzed parliamentary elections, this is reflected not only by the territorial concentration of preferential votes, but also by higher local electoral support of the political parties or movements represented by these candidates. This diploma thesis examines, among other things, differences in the strength of the described effect (technically called the friends and neighbours effect) between candidates from different political parties and in different regions of Czechia. Quantitative research has shown greater local strength and spatial extent of friends and neighbours effect for leading candidates from non-metropolitan areas who have experiences from local or regional politics, such as mayors or regional councilors. In the 2017 parliamentary elections, the friends and neighbours effect mostly influenced the spatial patterns of electoral support of the KDU-ČSL and the STAN movement and on the other...

Populism and persuasive propaganda in Czech party system
Kharisova, Kamilla ; Shavit, Anna (advisor) ; Rosenfeldová, Jana (referee)
This diploma thesis aims to study populist statements that appear in the advertising campaigns of political parties during the pre-election period. The main idea is to examine the discourse of this phenomenon during parliamentary elections in the Czech Republic held in 2017. The aim of the work is to identify and describe the use of populist elements in nine political entities that passed the 5% clause. Our work is based on the theory of populism as a marketing strategy by Winder and Tenscher (2012). Since populism is a widespread phenomenon, we wanted to show that it permeates through every political party, whether populist or not. The diploma thesis uses content analysis of outdoor and television advertisements of political parties. This study concludes that populism is a very popular and well-functioning concept whose elements can be applied by practically any political actor. Key words: Populism, parliamentary elections, political communication, Czech Republic Title: Populism as political communication

Univerzita Karlova, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut sociologických studií, Katedra sociologie. Vedoucí bakalářské práce Mgr.

The theoretical part presents the most important features of populism, which are subsequently identified in the electoral strategy of the ANO movement. The movement's strategy is further discussed in detail; attention is also paid to past research on the characteristics of ANO voters. The methodological and analytical part focuses on the secondary analysis of data from the ESS international research project (specifically from 2014 and 2018). To determine changes in the characteristics of ANO voters between these two years, a series of analyses (chi-square tests, t-tests, binary logistic regression) were conducted using SPSS software to reveal the answers to the research questions - namely, in what ways do voters differ most, in what ways are...

This thesis deals with the political situation in the Czech Republic since the parliamentary elections in October 2017 till the successful vote on the government's confidence in July 2018. It focuses specifically on the relations between the political parties, the reasons for refusing cooperation with the winner of the elections, and the motives for a participation on the executive coalition. Emphasis is placed on the parliamentary actors who have fundamentally influenced the emergence of the government. Furthermore, the work clarifies the social environment and important events during the period that was related to the coalition negotiations. At the same time, the text focuses on the role of the President in the formation of the government. Since he is the first directly elected president, the thesis tries to answer the question whether there are visible differences between the two previous indirectly elected presidents of the Czech Republic and current president Miloš Zeman. The thesis also examines the breadth of presidential powers over the government and seeks a possible overrun of powers. The main objective of the work is to verify whether the president extends his power beyond the constitution. For this purpose is uses the comparison of realities with the Constitution of the Czech Republic,...

Bóriková, Alžbeta ; Malečková, Jitka (advisor) ; Kučera, Petr (referee)
In the present work we provide a research on the Turkish domestic politics before the 2011 parliamentary elections. A detailed analysis of three Turkish daily newspapers (Cumhuriyet, Zaman and Milliyet) enabled us to identify major elections-related topics that appeared in the Turkish press during the political campaign. Our aim is to compare reactions and positions of different political parties and evaluate how a particular topic was being covered in the newspapers. The work especially focuses on the project of a new Constitution, the Kurdish issue, the state of Turkish democracy, the pre-election scandals and the key points of the political agenda of leading parties. In order to reach a better understanding of the current situation we study also the historical context of electoral system in Turkey and the formation of main political parties.
