Adjectives of Democracy. Citizenship and Political Attitudes under Socialist and Liberal Democracy in the Czech Republic

Adjectives of Democracy. Citizenship and Political Attitudes under Socialist and Liberal Democracy in the Czech Republic

The central empirical puzzle addressed in this book is why are Czech citizens’ attitudes towards key facets of democracy so similar under socialist democracy in 1968 and liberal democracy in 2008? Examining unique survey datasets from the late 1960s and 2008 this book reveals that Czech and Slovak citizens’ political attitudes can justifiably be characterised in terms of stability. This stability may be understood as a general feature of citizens’ relationship with democratic values and their implementat…

How Context Matters? Mobilization, Political Opportunity Structures and Non-Electoral Political Participation in Old and New Democracies

Scholars have long argued that political participation is determined by institutional context.Within the voter turnout literature the impact of various institutional structures has beendemonstrated in numerous studies. Curiously, a similar context driven research agendaexploring the correlates of non-electoral participation has not received the same attention.This study addresses this lacuna by testing a political opportunity structure model of citizenactivism across 24 old and new democracies using ISSP (2004…

The Role of Politically Relevant Attitudes and Value Orientations in Electoral Decisions. The Czech Republic in 1996

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 conflict. This article tri…

Kam se ztratili voliči? Vysvětlení vývoje volební účasti v České republice v letech 1990-2010

Kam se ztratili voliči? Vysvětlení vývoje volební účasti v České republice v letech 1990-2010

The monograph summarizes main explanations of electoral participation and its decline. It presents a systematic own theory of electoral participation which stresses the importance of mobilization by external actors and individual motivations (instrumentál, expressive and normative). This theoretical framework is used to explain the level and decline in electoral participation. This decline was caused mainly by the decreasing engagement of people in social networks, growing critical evaluation of political par…
