From kilometres to detachment
The article deals with voting for incumbent parties in local elections in amalgamated municipalities. We argue that the distance between settlement units within a municipality can shape voters’ accountability behaviour – potentially benefiting incumbents in peripheral areas through risk aversion, or harming them through weakened attachment to the municipality. Using exit poll data from about 5000 voters in 28 Czech municipalities and multilevel b…
Politics as a Social Compass
This study examines how explicitly political preferences, such as party support and issue positions, influence social interactions relative to lifestyle and cultural preferences that may be more immediate in people's daily lives. Using conjoint analysis, we assess the relative impact of factors such as political party preferences, issue stances, musical taste, restaurant choices, and football team fandom on social preferences in the Czech Republi…
Practice makes ‘perfect’? The effect of committee specialization on the complexity of parliamentary speeches
The complexity of parliamentary speeches is usually interpreted as an MP’s electoral strategy. We take the prism of parliamentary specialization and connect it to the use of issue-specific jargon learned during parliamentary work. We expect that membership in a parliamentary committee and increased experience within it increases the complexity of an MP’s speech about committee-related issues, and that the effect of the work in the committee is st…
Vicious circle of peripheries
Merged municipalities create unequal opportunities for sub‐municipal units according to their relative size and administrative centrality. Because electoral manifestos provide the basis for policy‐making on services, we analyse how the mentions of different sub‐municipal units are distributed in manifestos. We analyze the manifestos of 381 parties in 82 amalgamated municipalities in the 2022 local elections in Czechia, focussing on the effects of…
Shaky ground, shaky politics? Effects of Türkiye’s 2023 earthquakes on Erdoğan’s political survival
Politically motivated interpersonal biases
We demonstrate effects of political preferences on interpersonal interactions in the environment of the highly unstable and volatile party system of the Czech Republic. The effects of partisanship on interpersonal relations are compared to the effects of attitudes on a salient issue. Two experiments confirm the potential of political partisanship to affect the individual’s ingroup preferences and outgroup biases, which can influence willingness t…
The Effects of Covid-19 Pandemic Perceptions on Voter Turnout in the Czech Republic
This article answers the question how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced voter turnout on the individual level in the Czech 2020 regional election. Several hypotheses connected to perceived danger caused by the pandemic on a voter’s decision to vote or not are tested. It is expected that perceived danger of the pandemic deters people from attending an election, and that such a constraint would be higher for those who know many infected people than …
The Rise of Populists and Decline of Others
The paper analyzes long-term effects of changes in external conditions on the support for populist parties in the Czech Republic. The results confirmed importance of political dissatisfaction for the rise of populist parties but are limited by the presence of other protest parties. While the evidence of the effects of the economic context is mixed, results of our analysis indicate the importance of time and of election campaigns in particular. Al…
From Trivialized Neo-Nazis to Parliament
This paper analyzes factors facilitating the electoral success of the Slovak extreme-right party ĽSNS by examining contextual explanations of electoral support during in 2010–2016 national elections. Conducting regression analysis on aggregated data, we find that, during the 2010 and 2012 elections, the local presence of a Roma minority was important, and in the 2016 elections the party achieved success in more economically deprived micro-regions…
Czech Democracy in the New Millennium
This book assesses the quality of Czech democracy relative to both its postcommunist peers and older EU members. Motivated by the authoritarian tendencies and illiberal outcomes in the postcommunist region, it explores the extent to which the Czech Republic is genuinely an outlier within the region and why. The book elaborates on an original conception of democratic quality that emphasizes three aspects of governance: citizen rule, political equa…
The effects of deliberation in Czech Pirate Party
The Czech Pirate Party is one of the most electorally successful Pirate parties in the world. In this article, we analyse the effect of its intra-party deliberation preceding participation in an executive coalition in the second biggest Czech city, Brno, after the 2018 local election. The study relies on a combination of party open online discussions and discourse from local party elites. We focus on the effects on the coalition formation process…
To Be Central or Peripheral? What Matters for Political Representation in Amalgamated Municipalities
Municipal size and institutional design are important factors influencing representation at a local level. However, this has not been studied with regard to the long-term perspective. The article focuses on the effect of the center/periphery on the representation of units within an amalgamated municipality in local elections. The analysis is based on data from 2,298 amalgamated municipalities over three sets of elections (2006, 2010, 2014) in the…

Does the freedom of information law increase transparency at the local level? Evidence from a field experiment
Pork-Barrel Politics on the Regional Level
The politically motivated distribution of public funding, or porkbarrel politics, occurs for various reasons, one of which is the wish to reward political allies over political rivals. Despite the widespread nature of this practice, research in Central Europe has not yet examined this issue at every level of publication administration. The literature that does exist on this subject has mainly focused on national grant programmes, while less atten…
Cleavages, Protest or Voting for Hope? The Rise of Centrist Populist Parties in the Czech Republic
Over the past two decades, populist parties have become a well-established part of many European party systems. Their rise has provoked extensive scholarly discussion aiming both at the conceptualization of and explanations for the reasons behind their electoral success, analyses of their electorate and the impact of populist political parties on the structure of party competition. Nevertheless, these conclusions have been derived from studies fo…

Explanation of spatial differentiation of electoral results in the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic
This article explains the basis for electoral support for political parties in the Czech and Slovak Republics in the post-1993 period. The database consists of results from Parliamentary elections (in the Czech context, elections to the Chamber of Deputies) and of data obtained from censuses carried out by statistical agencies. The theory of conflict lines developed by Stein Rokkan and Seymour M. Lipset was chosen as the theoretical basis. The ke…
