The project aims to increase the knowledge about the perceptions of the relation between the political and distributive systems legitimacy. It also focuses on problems of social inequalities and social capital. The instruments used and the inclusion into an international network enable these issues to be approached from a temporal comparative perspective: the changes in the perceptions in the Czech society, several post-communist and West European societies since the beginning of the 1990´s are compared.

Non-response trends in Czechia point to a decline in the survey climate in 1990s. While non-contacts and refusals are a significant problem, issues relating to how fieldwork is undertaken are equally important. The relative success of the Czech Statistical Office in attenuating non-response demonstrates that prudent surveying strategies can be effective.
This study explores political awareness of Czech citizens from the point of view of both its distribution within the society, its dimensionality and sources, and its effect on political attitudes and their constraints. The study shows that Czech citizens know most about local and national politics and political players, and are least informed about international affairs.

The Second-Order Election Thesis (SOET) is one of a family of multi-level electoral behaviour theories that was specifically developed to explain changes in voting behaviour in general and European elections. Our analyses indicate that the patterns of voting behaviour predicted by the SOET are mediated by a number of national and regional factors.

This study explores the sources of attitude constraints regarding the role of government in the economy using ISSP 2006. This research confirms that the sources of attitude constraint in the Czech Republic are similar to that observed in Western Europe and the USA. Specifically, class, education, and other social-demographic variables are shown to have very limited effects.
Text analyses the effect of turnout on the party support of different parties in the Czech Republic. After introduction of the main theories and research strategies of partisan effects of turnout hypotheses concerning this issue are tested. The results show that higher turnout is advantageous for the parties whose voters lack strong party identification (ČSSD and the Green Party).
Since the early nineties it has been widely assumed that the Czech communist party (KSČM) will eventually disappear. To the surprise of many commentators there is currently little evidence to support this ‘decline and disappearance’ thesis. This is the central puzzle addressed in this article. Using cohort analysis an estimate of when electoral support for KSČM will fall below the critical five per cent electoral threshold is presented.
