An Examination of Legislative Roll-Call Voting in the Czech Republic Using Spatial Models

Using roll-call and parliamentary survey data from the sixth legislature in the Czech Republic (2006–2008), this research demonstrates that spatial models of roll-call data are not readily explainable in terms of party cohesion and discipline. The difficulty of making a substantive interpretation of dimensions extracted suggests the use of spatial models of roll-call voting where party discipline is strong requires more theoretical and methodological work.…

Zdroje sociální důvěry v české společnosti

The article deals with the empirical model of social trust determinants in the Czech society (Aktér a rizika 2005 survey).

‘It’s the Economy, Stupid’ Popular Support for EU Accession in the Czech Republic

In this article, a comparison is made between economic and identity explanations of preferences toward EU membership in the Czech Republic. This research demonstrates that economics rather then identity is a more powerful explanation of public opinion toward accession. The results presented should not be taken to imply that instrumental rather than ideological or affect based motivations determine general attitudes toward integration. …

Pragmatists, Ideologues and the General Law of Curvilinear Disparity: The Case of the Irish Labour Party

In this article we examine the opinion structure of Irish Labour party members and supporters. Our purpose is to test May's law of curvilinear disparity by dividing party members into two groups as outlined by Kitschelt. By focusing on ideological differences within political parties Kitschelt identifies two types of members: ideologues and pragmatists. We use two individual-level data sets: the Labour Leadership Election Study (LLES) and the Irish National Election Study (INES), to test May's law. We fi…

Conflicting expectations in overlapping systems of multi-level governance

Many states today are members of a number of systems of multilevel governance such as the UN, WTO, EU and NATO. Consequently, there is increasing scope for states to be presented with conflicting expectations. With the Iraq crisis, states with simultaneous membership of these organisations were faced with an unprecedented dilemma – choose to support NATO or the EU. This chapter examines this dilemma using the Czech Republic as a case study. …

Les organisations de la société civile et l’engagement civique en République tchèque après 1989

Cet article propose un panorama de l’évolution de la mobilisation politiqueen République tchèque depuis la chute du communisme. L’approche retenueest bidimensionnelle puisque cette mobilisation relève à la fois du militantismeorganisé et de l’engagement individuel des citoyens, ce qu’illustrent des donnéesempiriques tirées tant d’enquêtes comparatives internationales que d’entretiens etd’études réalisés par les auteurs.

The Europeanization of Social Movements in the Czech Republic: The EU and Local Women’s Groups

The goal of this paper is to analyze the impact the EU has had on Czech women‟s groups since the 1990s. Drawing on both Europeanization and social movement theories, the first section defines the theoretical standpoint of the paper. The second section is focused on the impact of changes in the funding of women‟s groups which, since the end of the 1990s, have relied more than before on European sources of funding. The third section analyzes the shift in the political context and the domestic political oppor…

Pečující otcové: Příběhy plné odlišnosti

The article deals with the issue of construction of caring for fathers, who have become primary carers in the period of parental leave. In the article I analyze how these fathers reflect the fathering, how they construct their identity and interpret gender relations within the family. I seek for patterns and justification that these social actors use in their construction of social reality and with which "result". Acquired knowledge can then move us in the understanding of gender in the various levels of its f…

Vliv volebních systémů na politickou reprezentaci žen v postkomunistických zemích

This paper examines the relationship between electoral systems and female political representation in post-communist states. West European research has suggested that more women are elected in proportional representation systems (PR) than in majoritarian ones, and points out PR’s characteristics (district magnitude, electoral thresholds and closed party lists) as the main explanatory factors. I find that unlike western democracies, post-communist states do not follow these presumptions. Neither basic elector…

Jak zkoumat sociální hnutí? Aktivismus ženských skupin v ČR

This paper provides a framework for the analysis of social movements, drawing on political process theory (PPT). The author argues that the concept of political opportunity structure is still adequate, although it has to be re-conceptualized at various points. Firstly, when analyzing contentious politics or collective action, it is much more suitable to handle the social movement as the unit of analysis rather then the protest event. Attention should also be paid to how the concept is applied. Finally, cultura…
