The aim of this article is to fill in the gap in research focusing on the problem of the political participation of women in the Czech Republic. Based on text and interview analysis, it explains the role of women activists in Czech parliamentary parties in endorsing women for election to representative bodies. The article begins by describing the associations formed by women party activists and their position within the party structure, and then looks at the role of these associations in supporting women’s access to political structures. It also describes how women party activists take into account the barriers to women’s political participation and possible ways of removing these restraints. The final part introduces the hypothesis that although the creation of these associations seems to be a positive step towards improving women chances of gaining access to representative bodies, in their present form and circumstances they have no power to achieve any significant improvement in the status quo., Veronika Šprincová., tabulka, and Obsahuje bibliografii
The Czech government is obliged to guarantee equality for men and women. Despite that, it recognizes this duty only in theory; in practice it contravenes the principles of this formal agreement. The government’s programme, politics, legislation, and state budget and governmental structures are marked by a lack of gender equity and the failure to promote women’s rights. The hidden structural mechanisms causing gender discrimination can be analyzed by means of a gender audit of the government. This is an effective tool for defining the most critical areas of state politics, and it creates a relevant strategy for challenging negative effects. In doing so, a gender audit of the government can also be a rich source of public education and can help to promote public and political discussion on the topic of gender issues. In this article, the author argues in favour of carrying out a gender audit of the Czech government and its politics. She explains how certain areas of politics affect men and women differently, and how their gender correct transformation can positively contribute to democratic and just governance., Tereza Handlová., and Obsahuje bibliografii

Kniha Jaroslava Meda Literární život ve stínu Mnichova (1938-1939) podle autora optikou literárního života představuje panorama dané doby, přičemž upíná pozornost zvláště k jeho dominantám, jako byla španělská občanská válka. Práce tvoří velmi dobře komponovaný celek, v němž personalistický důraz na osobnosti má svou protiváhu v akcentaci klíčových dobových myšlenek a proudů, česká tematika je interpretována na pozadí mezinárodním a literatura je vsazena do kontextů kulturních, společenských i teologických. Jaroslav Med v ní neposluhuje žádné ideologii ani apriorní tezi, ale je vnímavým vykladačem zauzlované doby., Jiří Trávníček, and Čtyři hlasy k jedné knize
