The Parliament of the Czech Republic, 1993–2004

Lukáš Linek; Zdenka Mansfeldová

The first decade of the Czech democratic parliament has seen the development of a newly conceptualised, bicameral parliament in a new state. We identify general tendencies towards stabilisation similar to Western European parliamentary practices. Another trend is the gradual change from organising the parliament according to the majority principle to that of consensus. There is also a long-term clash over the powers of the Senate and a gradual erosion of the dominant role of the Chamber of Deputies.

The Impact of the EU on the Czech Party System

Lukáš Linek; Zdenka Mansfeldová

The Czech Republic is notorious in Europe for the fact that there is no clear consensus on the benefits of EU accession or the future development of the European Union among the political elite. The level of public support for the integration project has also been quite low compared to other post-communist countries, especially before the accession referendum campaign in 2003, causing the Czech Republic to be labelled a ‘nation of Eurosceptics’ (Hanley, 2004). This Eurosceptic image has been strengthened by the media attention given to statements of the current Czech president, Vaclav Klaus, who has been opposed to the adoption of the European Constitution since its beginning and favours purely economic cooperation among European countries. Moreover, in the European Parliament elections in 2004, Eurosceptic parties gained almost 70 per cent of Czech seats in the European Parliament. These results prompt consideration of whether Czech citizens really are so sceptical about European integration and, if they are, what effect this has on party alignments.

Obrana, akvizice či nesoutěž? Jak se měnila podoba a intenzita soutěže mezi českými stranami v letech 2006–2014?

Lukáš Linek; Roman Chytilek; Otto Eibl

Cilem textu je prozkoumat změny v soutěživosti ceskeho stranickeho systemu v letech 2006–2014. Rozpracovavame proto koncepci stranicke soutěže Saniho a Sartoriho tak, aby inkorporovala pozdějsi zjistěni o povaze stranicke soutěže a aby se dala využit i pro fluidni stranicke systemy. Soutěž konceptualizujeme jako vicedimenzionalni a založenou na významnosti jednotlivých dimenzi pro strany a pozicich, ktere strany v těchto dimenzich zastavaji. Rozlisujeme přitom tři typy soutěžnich vztahů: nesoutěženi, obranna a akvizicni soutěž. Soutěženi ceských stran zkoumame na zakladě dat z expertnich dotaznikových setřeni Chapel Hill ve třech dimenzich: socio-ekonomicke, evropske a socialně liberalni/konzervativni. V analýzach se zaměřujeme na změny v pozicich stran a významnosti dimenzi v danem obdobi; zvlastni pozornost věnujeme i strategiim soutěže jednotlivých stran s ohledem na jejich dosavadni působeni (nove vs. tradicni strany). Ve sledovanem obdobi registrujeme proměnu charakteru soutěže v jednotlivých dimenzich (měnila se intenzita soutěženi, významnost dimenzi, prostor, ve kterem soutěž probihala, ale i podily jednotlivých typů soutěže). Při odpovědi na otazku po charakteru ceske stranicke soutěže identifikujeme ve shodě s předchozimi studiemi nejvice soutěženi (s převažně obranným charakterem) v socio-ekonomicke dimenzi, zaroveň ukazujeme, že i v dalsich dvou dimenzich existuje velmi silný potencial pro vznik intenzivni stranicke soutěže v připadě, že se zvýsi jejich významnost.
