The Decline of the Party and the Rise of Party Leaders? The Personalisation of Voting Behaviour in the Czech Republic

Lukáš Linek, Marcela Voženílková

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2017, 53(2): 147-180 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2017.53.2.304  

The aim of this article is to analyse the personalisation of Czech voters' behaviour during the last two decades. This study examines if the effect of party leaders on party choice has increased as the vote personalisation literature suggests. Alternative explanations of party choice emphasise the stable role of cleavages and left-right orientation, leaving limited space for leadership effects and their growth. In addition, this paper also tests party-specific hypotheses. These hypotheses are tested using four Czech post-election surveys (1996-2013). Vote choices are modelled using stacked data matrices (for each election) and a logistic regression...

The New Young Masaryks? Support for Democracy and Its Principles among Czech Adolescents

Jan Šerek

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2017, 53(2): 181-208 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2017.53.2.313  

This article investigates levels and predictors of support for democracy and two democratic principles (free speech and minority rights) among Czech 14- to 17-year-olds. An analysis of survey data collected in primary and secondary schools in four regions in 2014 (N = 1,959) reveals that among young Czechs general support for a democratic regime is relatively independent from more specific pro-democratic attitudes (although there is an association between general support for democracy and the abstract principle of freedom of speech). On a general level, democracy was supported by about two-thirds of adolescents in the sample. Similar or even higher...

The Impact of Open Classroom Climate and Classroom Socio-economic Composition on Civic Knowledge and Attitudes towards Voting

Aleš Kudrnáč

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2017, 53(2): 209-240 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2017.53.2.314  

Research to date indicates that there is a positive association between the family-based socio-economic status (SES) of students and pupils' own level of civic knowledge and attitudes toward voting. Many scholars think that social stratification of the electorate may lead to differential political representation of social groups thereby weakening the legitimacy of democracy among the lower social strata who participate least in politics. In this respect, it is often argued that one of the roles of schools is to reduce the difference in civic participation among students coming from families in different social strata. In this vein, this article examines...

Home as a Conceptual Frame, a Topic and a Research Field: Review Article on Recent and Current Developments in the Study of Home

Petr Gibas

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2017, 53(2): 241-268 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2017.53.2.315  

Over the past thirty years there has been a substantial change in how home is understood in the social sciences. While it is still possible to discern the influence of phenomenology on contemporary thinking about home, the studies presently at the forefront of the geography, anthropology, and sociology of home largely reflect the impact of critical social theory and the cultural and spatial turn in the social sciences, and they have also made the lines between these disciplines blurrier. This article primarily aims to provide readers with an overview of the developments in the field and to explore contemporary approaches to home as a complex and multifaceted...
