New Political Parties : Newness, Theoretical Concepts and Possibilities of Their Use in the Czech Republic
Abstract
This study analyzes some chosen aspects of new political parties. Concepts analyzing this topic are widely used approximately from 80's and there is quite a variable amount of different approaches to this phenomenon.
There is neccessary to define what the newness really is, so one of the objects of study is to bring a more comprehensive point of view of main research stream. Theoretical concepts based on newness are not so often applied in the Czech Republic in general.
It is evident that the Czech party system has been fundamentally changed in 2010 and 2013 Chamber of Deputies Election by a several newcomers. And this change is one of the apparent indicators showing the importance of new Czech parties in the past, as well as in the present.
Most of general approaches to this topic entirely use an original way of analyzing but there is rather relevant to take a specific features of the Czech system into consideration.
