Spor o povahu režimu se zaměřením na Slovenskou republiku

In this bachelor thesis we will deal with the dispute about the nature of the political regime of the Slovak Republic. The first part will focus on the theory of political regimes. Here we will define the basic concepts such as democratic, authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. Then we will deal with the theory of hybrid regimes, their possible classifications and selected examples. The second part of the thesis will be devoted to the separate political situation in Slovakia. We will focus on the cases that accompanied the Smer-SD party during its political lifetime. Then, with the help of Freedom House, we will look at how it evaluates selected categories that it considers important for a democratic regime in the context of the Slovak Republic. In the last part we will use theoretical knowledge about political regimes and the results of empirical research. As a result, we will relate Slovak politics to the selected political regime
