Sympathy for the strong leader in Europe
The rule of a strong leader above the law was found acceptable to a certain extent among 52 per cent of ESS Round 10 respondents from 30 European countries. Literature suggests that support for a strong leader is driven by individual and political factors, and individual and societal threats. The effect of individual factors and individual threats on willingness to submit to a strong leader supports the plausibility of the radicalising thesis. Ad…
Discriminated group identity and satisfaction with democracy in Europe
Rally and Rage
In times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the public generally expressed high pandemic-specific support for their governments. Analysis based on ESS Round 10 COVID-19 module data from 20 countries shows, however, that there was a gap between pandemic-specific and specific support for governments in European states. A positive gap in favor of pandemic-specific support for governments was found among 52.7% of the respondents, while a negative trend was ob…
The importance of christianity, customs, and traditions in the national identities of European countries
This Country Is Not for Anyone”
National pride is a group-based and sometimes collective emotion that people feel toward their nation-state. It is often measured by the general national pride item in cross-national surveys. Czechs are among those nations whose members express low levels of general national pride in comparison with those of other nations in the European Union. Scholars debate the extent to which general national pride is influenced by social desirability or othe…
Significant others and the importance of ancestry for Czech national identity
Nations are viewed as metaphorical families having common ancestors. Czechs, for example, share the legend about a forefather Čech who brought his people into Czechia. Analysing the Czech ISSP 2013 data we examine how the importance of having Czech descent depends on Christian denomination, openness towards immigration, perceived commonality with ‘significant Others’, foreign-born parents, and socio-demographics. Results of the analysis suggest t…
Women’s Parliamentary Representation in the Czech Republic
The U-shaped trajectory of women’s parliamentary representation in Central and Eastern Europe over the post-communist era has generated interest among scholars and non-governmental organizations. One particularly interesting case of the recent increase in women’s parliamentary representation can be found in the Czech Republic. After the initial post-communist drop in representation, the proportion of female members of parliament (MPs) hovered aro…

The Endurance of the Czech Communist Party
Twenty years after the fall of communism in the Czech Republic, the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM) continues to garner public support and maintains its presence in parliament. The party's endurance is surprising given the country's relative economic success and the presence of a strong Social Democratic Party. While the literature on communist successor parties has viewed the KSČM as unsuccessful, we argue that this perspective ove…
Identity of non‐self‐evident nation
In this study the authors analyse Czech national identity after the break‐up of Czechoslovakia and before accession to the European Union. National identity is understood here as a construct consisting of several elements, four of which the authors analyse: territorial identity (localism, regionalism, patriotism, and Europeanism), the image of the nation – the cultural nation (ethno‐nation) and the political nation (state‐nation), national pride …

Active Citizenship and Satisfaction with Democracy in Europe
In this article the authors describe what forms of political participation, outside the electoral process, the populations of twenty-one European countries tend to employ and to what degree. They identify three types of non-electoral political participation: active-conventional, active-demonstrational, and passive participation. Overall non-electoral political participation is considerably lower in the post-communist and Mediterranean countries t…
The Nation, National Identity, and National Pride in Europe
This study provides an analysis of national identity in eleven European countries. In the study, national identity is understood as a construct consisting of several elements, four of which are analysed by the authors -territorial identity, the image of the nation, national pride, and love for the nation. With regard to the image of the nation, the authors focus on the elements that define the cultural nation (ethno-nation) and the political nati…

The Legitimacy of Democracy and Trust in the Political Institutions in the Czech Republic
This article deals with legitimacy of democracy and its relationship to trust in political institutions in the Czech Republic. The introduction includes a recapitulation of the theories concerning the legitimacy of democracy, and on the conditions necessary for this legitimacy, which is what the subject of this article is then built upon. The author distinguishes between support for democracy as a form of government, and satisfaction with the dev…
Party identification in the Czech Republic

It recapitulates findings related to the voting behavior in the Czech Republic throughout the nineties, as well as the reasons leading to the application of the party identification model to the analyses of voting behavior. The influence of positive feelings toward the elected party and negat…

The Social Background of the Extreme Right in the Czech Republic
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…
The Crystallisation of Political Attitudes and the Political Spectrum in the Czech Republic
The basic structural cleavages of post-communist society should, according to 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 industrialisation. Where economic development was already advanced, as i…
Values and Electoral Decisions in the Czech Republic
This article is an attempt to identify the role of politically relevant values and attitudes in voting behaviour in the Czech Republic. In view of the results of earlier analyses, which show there has been a process of intense crystallization of left–right political axis of the Czech political spectrum, this paper aims to demonstrate the specific roles of declared and value-based left–right political orientations, the effects of external and inte…

From Equality to Equity? The Czech Republic Between Two Ideologies of Distributive Justice
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 inegali…
Subjective Mobility after 1989. Do People Feel a Social and Economic Improvement or Relative Deprivation
Subjective judgments of social & economic mobility in Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, & the Czech Republic are investigated in an analysis of data gathered by the international comparative study, Social Stratification in Eastern Europe after 1989. It is found that in all 6 countries, a sense of improved social position is correlated with social characteristics such as a lower age group & higher level education & profession, while a s…
