The aim of the project was to learn and analyse characteristics, structure and functioning of Parliamentary and other relevant political parties in relation to their functioning in the Parliament, at lower levels of an organization structure, and, on the other side, in relation to European political parties. The relation of political parties to the civic society and its entities as well as to the State was also taken into account.

Czech political parties have built their organisations since the beginning of the 1990s in an environment that was hostile to organised partisanship. They face a lack of interest among citizens in joining political parties, which can be seen in the continually falling number of members in the case of KDU-ČSL and KSČM, and in the case of ČSSD and ODS in the stagnation of the number of members since their inception.

This article is a reaction to a study published in the last issue of Political Science Review about the application of the Katz and Mair theory of cartel party to the Czech experience. In that study, the author illustrates the progressing cartellisation of Czech political parties in 4 areas. This present author rejects the approach that reduces the application of cartel theory to the system level, and argues in favour of the level of individual parties.
The paper analyses the candidate selection procedure in political parties before the elections to the European Parliament. It focuses on the four main Czech political parties: ČSSD, KDU-ČSL, KSČM and ODS. Findings from the analysis of written documents are compared with the results from a questionnaire survey among the candidates. The candidate selection in ČSSD and ODS was centralised around the narrow central executive with a candidacy closed only to party members.
