The article draws attention to the new possibilities of the research into the genre and thematic composition of Czech printed production of the 16th century, which are going to be offered by the Knihověda.cz portal in future. This portal virtually merges two databases of the national retrospective bibliography - Knihopis and Bibliografie cizojazyčných bohemikálních tisků 1501-1800 [The Bibliography of Foreign-Language Printed Bohemica 1501-1800]. It examines the genre composition of both Czech- and foreign-language printed production of the 16th century, which comprises a total of more than 4,000 units, and monitors the gradual development of the genres established in previous periods and the occurrence of entirely new genres. The aim of the paper is not a detailed analysis of the selected period but rather a basic overview of the genres and an indication of new research possibilities., Andrea Jelínková., Obsahuje anglické resumé a dvě textové přílohy, and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Monografie navazuje na předešlou Kopečkovu práci Éra nevinnosti: Česká politika 1989-1997 (Brno, Barrister & Principal 2010) a pojednává o okolnostech a důsledcích takzvané opoziční smlouvy, kterou po volbách v roce 1998 uzavřely dvě největší české politické strany - sociální demokracie pod vedením Miloše Zemana a Občanská demokratická strana v čele s Václavem Klausem - o podmínkách tolerance Zemanovy vlády Klausovou opozicí. Předmětem politologického výkladu jsou jak hlavní aktéři tohoto mocenského paktu, tak početná opozice proti němu, které se podařilo zabránit, aby se proměnil ve stabilní systém dominance dvou stran. Přes až přílišnou závislost na žurnalistických pramenech představuje Deformace demokracie? podle recenzenta spolu s autorovou předešlou publikací základní syntézu o českém politickém vývoji po pádu komunistického režimu., The publication under review, whose title translates as "A deformation of democracy? The opposition agreement and Czech politics, 1998-2002", follows on from Kopeček´s Éra nevinnosti: Česká politika 1989-1997 (The age of innocence. Czech politics 1989-97, Brno: Barrister a. Principal, 2010). It is concerned with the circumstances and consequences of what was popularly known as the Opposition Agreement, which, after the general elections of 1998, was signed by the two largest Czech political parties - the Social Democratic Party, led by Miloš Zeman (b. 1944), and the Civic Democratic Party, led by Václav Klaus (b. 1941) - and concerns the terms and conditions under which the Klaus-led opposition would tolerate the Zeman-led government. The focus of this political-science interpretation is not only the main actors of the agreement but also the large opposition to it. The latter ultimately succeeded in preventing the pact from leading to a system run by only two parties. Despite its excessive dependence on journalistic sources, the publication, according to the reviewer, constitutes, together with the author´s preceding volume, a fundamental work on Czech political developments since the collapse of the Communist regime., [autor recenze] Petr Roubal., and Obsahuje bibliografii a bibliografické odkazy
