The 2013 parliamentary election, however, highlights the transformation of the party system, the arrival of new entrants and the woes faced by the long-established parties. The Czech Social Democratic Party (CSSD) won the election, but the margin of victory was slender.

  • The Rise and Decline of the New Czech Right
    Blue Velvet: The Rise and Decline of the New Czech Right Manuscript of article for a special issue of the Journal of Communist Studies and Transition Politics on the Right in Post-Communist Central and Eastern Europe Abstract This article analyses the origins, development and comparative success centre-right in the Czech Republic. It focuses principally on the the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) of Václav Klaus, but also discusses a number of smaller Christian Democratic, liberal and anti-communist groupings, insofar as they sought to provide right-wing alternatives to Klaus’s party. In comparative terms, the article suggests, the Czech centre-right represents an intermediate case between those of Hungary and Poland. Although Klaus’s ODS has always been a large, stable and well institutionalised party, avoiding the fragmentation and instability of the Polish right, the Czech centre- right has not achieved the degree of ideological and organisational concentration seen in Hungary. After discussing the evolution and success of Czech centre-right parties between 1991 and 2002, the article reviews a number of factors commonly used to explain party (system) formation in the region in relation to the Czech centre- right. These include both structural-historical explanations and ‘political’ factors such as macro-institutional design, strategies of party formation in the immediate post-transition period, ideological construction and charismatic leadership. The article argues that both the early success and subsequent decline of the Czech right were rooted in a single set of circumstances: 1) the early institutionalisation of ODS as dominant party of the mainstream right and 2) the right’s immediate and successful taking up of the mantel of market reform and technocratic modernisation.

  • European Policy of the Czech Republic
    BULLETIN No. 37 (370) April 5, 2012 © PISM Editors: Marcin Zaborowski (Editor-in-Chief), Katarzyna Staniewska (Executive Editor), Jarosław Ćwiek-Karpowicz, Beata Górka-Winter, Artur Gradziuk, Beata Wojna European Policy of the Czech Republic Dariusz Kałan In its European policy, the Czech Republic distances itself from deepening political and economic integration, and proposes an alternative vision of the European Union as a confederation of sovereign states. At the same time, fearing marginalization they actively support initiatives for economic growth and the Multiannual Financial Framework, 2014–2020. Poland should use its upcoming presidency of the Visegrad Group to maintain Czech support for two crucial issues: a high EU budget and strong cohesion policy. A Vision of the European Union. The largest Czech party in the ruling coalition, the Civic Democratic Movement (ODS), linked with both President Václav Klaus and PM Petr Nečas, has called for the EU to be a confederation of sovereign nation-states with limited roles for the supranational institutions. The Czech Republic resists deepening political and economic integration (strengthening the European Parliament, adopting the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the Fiscal Pact, rapid accession to the eurozone), claiming that these lead to reinforcing bureaucratic structures and limitations on the free market. According to the Czech viewpoint, the EU should instead reduce economic barriers by liberalising the internal market, extend the border-free zone by bringing Bulgaria and Romania into the Schengen Area as well as continue the process of enlargement through the accession of Turkey and the Western Balkans countries. An important part of the Czech vision also comes from critical attitudes about certain ideologies, such as feminism, environmentalism and multiculturalism, which are points of contention raised mainly by President Klaus, who includes them in the notion of “europeanism” and finds them contradictory to local political and cultural models in the country.

  • The Network Analysis of Co ‑Voting Strategies of the KDU ‑ČSL Deputies 1
    The disintegration of KDU ‑ČSL in 2009: The network analysis of co ‑voting strategies of the KDU ‑ČSL deputies 1 DUŠAN BRABEC Politics in Central Europe (ISSN: 1801-3422) Vol. 16, No. 2 DOI: 10.2478/pce-2020-0023 Abstract: The main objective of this study is to capture and analyse the dynamics of co ‑voting ties among the members of the KDU ‑ČSL political party group in the 5th parliamentary term between 2006 and 2010 when some members of KDU ‑ČSL left this party and founded new political party TOP 09. For the analysis of the data, network approach and methods were used, with emphasis on the detection of possible rivalling communities in the constructed network of co‑voting ties between deputies belonging to the KDU‑ČSL parliamentary party group in the analysed time period. The co‑voting was treated as a proxy indicator of a possible relationship indicating co ‑operation or rivalry between the deputies. The main outcome of the study was the identification of the co ‑voting strategies and dynamics of the co ‑voting between deputies who left KDU ‑ČSL in 2009 and formed a new political party with their former party colleagues. The study is of a quantitative nature, but the main findings are connected to qualita‑ tive insights as well. Keywords: political parties; unity, party discipline, party factionalism, co‑voting, legislative networks 1 This study was supported by the Charles University Research Programme ‘Progres’ Q18 – Social Sciences: From Multidisciplinarity to Interdisciplinarity. The author would like to thank Lukáš Hájek for the initial data preparation. POLITICS IN CENTRAL EUROPE 16 (2020) 2 547 Introduction It has been more than ten years since the new political party TOP 09 was estab‑ lished in 2009.

  • Ideological Position of Andrej Babiš's
    ARTICLES 275 Left, Right, Left, Right… Centre: Ideological Position of Andrej Babiš’s ANO* LUKÁš HÁJEK** Abstract The paper deals with the ideological position of a newly formed business-firm party called ANO in the contemporary political environment of the Czech Republic. Although the advent of the party was truly rapid and ANO is a fairly unique formation, it is possible to employ some conventional an- alytical tools to reveal the party’s ideological position. Firstly, I show that ANO is a vote-seeking party and it is therefore possible to analyse it in accordance with a Downsian spatial modelling. Next, I describe a roll call analysis method that is able to objectively identify the party’s ideological position based on legislators’ parliamentary votes. After I form several hypotheses, a data set consisting of 8,559 roll calls of 215 members of the Chamber of Deputies is depicted. Finally, the results show that ANO is located in the ideological centre, closer to social democrats rather than to right-wing parties. Besides this, ANO covers a smaller ideological space compared to traditional political par- ties. Finally, the results do not anticipate a potential split of ANO in the near future since the party’s legislators have acted cohesively in the parliament so far. Keywords: ANO; Andrej Babiš; Chamber of Deputies; ideology; roll call analysis; spatial modelling DOI: 10.5817/PC2017-3-275 1. Introduction In 2011, Andrej Babiš, the owner of agriculture, food, and chemicals group Agrofert and one of the wealthiest businessmen in the Czech Republic, decided to establish a political move- ment (Foy 2016).1 The main proclaimed goal was to stand against corruption and existing political parties hindering the Czech political and economic system from prosperity.
