Politically Active Civil Society in the Liberec Region: Traditional Associations, Independents or Local and Regional Political Groupings in Municipal Elections 2010 and 2014

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Based on theories of relations between democracy and civil society and the concept of social capital especially in the version of Robert Putnam (1993) but also regarding his critics (Kwon 2004), this paper applies approaches of political geography to the study of politically aktive civil society outside traditional political parties in the Liberec Region of Czechia - a relativem small territory comprising many types of social, historical-cultural and natural environments. It tries to find and map differences in geographical (spatial) distribution of several types of such political civil activities and to determine some key geographical or geographically distributed factors with an impact on it. This paper focuses on a relatively untraditional role of civil society organizations (beside classical political parties) - that of direct participation and success in (municipal) elections. It presents predominantly results of the analysis of data from municipal elections in 2010 and 2014, focused on the success of several types of untraditional, local or regional political movements, which had created candidate lists. Employed methods are particularly multiple linear regression and spatial autocorrelation.There is apparent differentiation according to the historical border of the Nazi-occupied and formerly predominantly ethnic German area, while influences of settlement structure or local particularities are also visible.
