Sociální třída a její vliv na volební chování
Class interests play an important role in voting behaviour in the Czech Republic. The highest electoral turnout has been found among high professionals, the lowest among semi-skilled and un-skilled workers. Right-wing ODS is voted most often by middle and upper middle class (independents, higher professionals), left wing ČSSD and KSČM working and lower class (skilled, semi-skilled, and un-skilled workers). However, social class does not explain voting behaviour completely. Analyses showed effect of status in…

Od rovnostářství k zásluhovosti? Česká republika mezi dvěma ideologiemi distributivní spravedlnosti
The principle objective of the paper is to uncover the interplay between egalitarian and inegalitarian norms and beliefs about distributive justice during the postcommunist transformation in the Czech Republic. Two theoretical perspectives, namely the „split-consciousness“ theory (Kluegel and Smith) and the theory of dominant and challenging norms of distributive justice (Della Fave), are applied in comparative analysis of egalitarian and inegalitarian inclinations in the Czech&nbs…

Oděv a móda jako sociální fenomény
Clothing is a social phenomenon concentrating a wide range of social symbols and meanings. Which are not rigid, but changeable. They are modified and reproduced due to changes in social space. In my work, I seek to recover some of the most important and most interesting modifications of this phenomenon seen against the background of traditional, modern and post-modern societies with the help of both classical and the most influential theories up to date, i. e. those of Paul Willis and Henning Bech in which man…

Krystalizace politických postojů a politického spektra v České republice
The basic structural cleavages of post-communist society should, according to Kitschelt [1992], be aligned along two separate axes: the left-right axis and that of libertarianism-authoritarianism. The party systems in central and eastern Europe were expected to structure themselves along axes ranging from authoritarians and opponents of the market at one end and liberals and supporters of the market at the other. The distribution of parties along these axes would be dependent on the level of ind…

Role politicky relevantních hodnot ve volebním rozhodování v České republice
Voting behaviour is generally not so much a matter of choosing one party out of a list of all parties on a ballot paper, but rather a choice between a much smaller number of acceptable parties. Typical voting behaviour may be supposed to be a choice between two parties. It is not a matter of a single important or dominant political attitude or value, but rather a complex process involving many different factors, some of which reinforce each other, while others are in contrast or even c…
