Autorská dvojice podle mínění recenzentky přesvědčivě ukazuje masivní nárůst státních intervencí do privátní sféry v českých zemích během sedmdesáti let od vzniku Československa do zhroucení komunistického režimu. Pochybnosti v ní však vyvolává zvolená periodizační perspektiva, která fakticky ignoruje velké politické předěly ve prospěch kontinuit, a také programově nehodnoticí postoj autorů k pojednávané historické látce. Chybí jí ocenění meziválečné Československé republiky, která se snažila být demokratickým a sociálně spravedlivým státem, a naopak kritika likvidačních záměrů nacistických okupantů vůči českému obyvatelstvu ve válečných letech. Recenzentka komentuje některé aspekty rodinné politiky v socialistickém Československu a soudí, že kniha je užitečná pro širokou kulturní veřejnost jako výzva k diskusi o hodnotách a tradicích společnosti, o smyslu a funkci vlastního státu., According to the reviewer, the two authors of the book under review (whose title translates as The family in the interest of the state: Population growth and the institute of marriage in Bohemia, Moravia, and Czech Silesia, 1918-89) convincingly demonstrate the massive growth in state intervention in the private sphere in Bohemia, Moravia, and Czech Silesia in the seventy years from the founding or the Czechoslovak Republic to the collapse of the Communist regime in late 1989. She does, however, have some doubts about their periodization, which ignores great political dividing lines in favour of continuities, and she is also disappointed in the authors´ intentionally refusing to pass judgement on the topics they discuss. The reviewer would have liked to have read an assessment of interwar Czechoslovakia, which had sought to be a democratic and socially just state, and she would have welcomed discussion of the Nazis´ intentions to eradicate the Czechs during the German occupation from mid-March 1939 to early May 1945. The reviewer remarks on some aspects of family policy in socialist Czechoslovakia, and concludes that the book under review is useful for the general public as a call for discussion about the social values and traditions and the purpose and operation of the State., [autor recenze] Květa Jechová., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
The aim of this paper is to analyze the social and class inequalities in turnout in the Czech Republic between 1990 and 2010. Thus, the study focuses on a description of the evolution of the relationship between turnout and key characteristics of socio-economic status: education, income and social class. This research utilizes a pooled cross-sectional post-election survey dataset from the Czech Republic fielded over two decades; and employs standard statistical methods, i.e. contingency tables and convergence models, to analyze change in turnout among population subgroups. There are signs of a gradual crystallization of both social and class inequalities in electoral participation. Convergence models reveal a linear increase in educational and class inequalities in turnout. In the case of income, however, this study finds evidence of a crystallization of income based inequalities in participation rather than a growth in inequalities per se., Lukáš Linek., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The article describes a sociological problem linked to decision-making about the locality in which a deep geolo- gical repository of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste is to be built in the Czech Republic. The introduction explains the social situation of negotiations about the repository and identi es concerned stakeholders. The article then outlines the legal framework of the negotiations and summarizes their progress up to the present day. The rest of the article analyses data from two public opinion surveys. The rst one surveyed the attitudes of citizens in selected localities toward the pro- ject of the deep geological repository. The second survey investigated the attitudes of the Czech public toward radioactive waste and the deep geological repository., Martin Ďurďovič, Zdenka Vajdová, Kateřina Bernardyová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
