This links energy development with a more general view of natural sciences and technologies and their function in contemporary advanced societies. The impact of technologies on everyday lives of individuals, groups and communities has been growing unprecedentedly in recent decades.

As people living in the EU states we take it for granted that a source of electricity will be there whenever we need it. It is a considerably less self-evident matter, how the electricity we rely on is supposed to be produced and distributed. The energy sector stands at a crossroads today and newly emerging options of energy strategies challenge the old ways of doing the business.

Schutz’s concept of intersubjectivity departs from radical, philosophical analyses of the constitution of the other (alter ego) in my consciousness. Instead, he takes the existence of the other and his or her subjectivity for granted and investigates the intersubjective relations of understanding and action among individuals. The shifting of phenomenological lifeworld theory from philosophy to sociology enables Schütz to study social interaction and order.

Okolnosti zakládání rodiny v České republice se v posledních pětadvaceti letech výrazně proměnily. Méně lidí uzavírá manželství, a pokud ano, tak ve vyšším věku. Nesezdané soužití se stává stále častěji prostředím, ve kterém jsou vychovávány děti. Manželství již nepředstavuje jedinou společensky přijímanou formu partnerského soužití.

Lapitola se zaměřuje na interakci mezi vládou a opozicí v českém parlamentu a poskytuje pohled na fungování roztříštěné politiky - rozdělená opozice a slabá vláda. Kapitola ukazuje na příkladu hospodářské krize rozdílnost chování obou typů parlamentní opozice. Postoj permanentní opozice vůči úsporám a rozpočtu je odmítavý a v souladu s její ideologickou linií. Mainstreamová opozice vykazuje více variant chování, které se pohybuje mezi konsensuálním a odmítavým.

Kapitola se zaměřuje na rozvoj demokracie a její kvality v České republice během ekonomické krize a krátce po ní (s hlavním zaměřením na období 2009-2014). Autorky se snaží odpovědět na otázku, zda hospodářská krize přispěla k oslabení české demokracie, nebo zda vnější šok z hospodářské krize dále posílil již existující problémy.
