Beyond the second-order national elections model: Incumbency effects in regional elections in the Czech Republic

Literature provides four basic theories to explain regional election results and how they differ from national patterns: authority of regional governments, ethnic or linguistic cleavages, congruence of national and regional electoral systems, and second-order election effects. The second-order national election theory explains why regional elections exhibit lower turnout levels, why government parties lose voter support, and why opposition, minor, and new parties gain support. While second-order election theor…

Economic and Pandemic Performance Voting in the 2021 Czech National Election

The literature on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected vote choice provides evidence of both ‘rally-’round-the-flag’ effects and the influence of perceived government pandemic performance. However, this evidence concerns short-term effects. Much less is known about how COVID-19-related economic changes and government measures in response to the pandemic have affected vote choice over a longer period. Using a post-election survey from the Czech Republic fielded in October 2021, we examine the effect of …

Volební volatilita v postkomunistické Evropě

Volební volatilita v postkomunistické Evropě

V západní Evropě sice volební volatilita za posledních třicet až čtyřicet let významně narostla, skutečnou explozi voličské nestability ovšem spojujeme se zeměmi bývalého komunistického bloku ve východní Evropě. Tato publikace se proto zaměřuje na výzkum volební volatility v 11 postkomunistických státech střední a východní Evropy od roku 1990 do roku 2020. Volební volatilitu studie chápe jako změnu voličské preference ve volbách jdoucích po sobě. Jelikož přechody voli…

What's past is prologue, or is it? Generational effects on voter turnout in post-communist countries, 1990-2013

A common theme in studies of voter turnout in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is that the legacy of communism attenuates electoral participation. It is argued that socialization and the political habits that emerged under communism impeded democratic development by not motivating citizen activism. This paper examines this claim for voter turnout in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland for all general elections since 1990 using cohort analysis on pooled crosssectional post-election surveys from gi…

Welfare State, Inequalities, Politics: The Czech Public’s Attitudes towards the Welfare State between 1996 and 2016This book examines the broad expectations and perceptions residents of the Czech Republic have had of the welfare state from the 1990s to the present (most of the analyses cover the period up to 2016 and some up to 2018).

Na vzdělání záleží

Na vzdělání záleží

Za posledních dvacet let došlo v České republice k zásadnímu nárůstu počtu studentů na vysokých školách. Jedním z důsledků je, že v naší populaci vzrostly podíly osob s ukončeným vysokoškolským vzděláním na dvojnásobek. Prudký rozvoj vzdělávacího systému vyvolává řadu otázek. Mění se vztah mezi vzděláním, chováním, hodnotami a postoji? Rozevřela se v posledních třech desetiletích propast mezi lidmi s nižším a vyšším vzděláním, nebo se naopak rozdíl…

Občanství a politická participace v České republice

Občanství a politická participace v České republice

Stabilita demokracie nezáleží jen na fungujících institucích, ale také na občanech, kteří se v její prospěch nebojí veřejně angažovat. Demokracie tak není v ohrožení jen tehdy, když se hroutí její instituce, ale i tehdy, když se vytrácí její podpora mezi členy společnosti. Druhé často předchází to první. Bez občanů, kteří podporují principy demokracie a v souladu s nimi jednají, se demokratický režim vyprazdňuje. Proto se tato publikace v první části zaměřuje na …
