Governmental Instability in the Czech Republic after 2000: Causes and Consequences

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

One of the key characteristics of Czech politics after its democratic transformation has been unstable governments. The Czech Republic has had twelve governments led by ten different prime ministers over the years 1996-2017. Only two of the governments lasted the entire electoral period: one distinctive “single-party” government and, despite all its internal conflicts, Sobotka’s coalition government. Most of the other governments only lasted 1-2 years, a government defined as (semi)technocratic was formed three times. The government, which is the only policy initiator in a parliamentary regime, is therefore usually too weak in the Czech Republic. This has negatively impacted the entire Czech political system and undermined public confidence in the democratic political order. The goal of this analysis is to define the main causes of governmental instability, speculate about its consequences for the legitimacy and public image of politics, and contemplate the possibilities of stabilizing or else strengthening the Czech governments.
