November 4, 2020

The US elections will come down to the wire, and will be determined by mail-in votes.

KOMENTÁŘ: Americké volby: Optimistický pohled na nejhorší možný scénář

Výsledky amerických voleb budou do poslední chvíle nejasné a rozhodovat tak budou korespondenční hlasy. Ačkoliv byl tento scénář během pandemie koronaviru nanejvýš očekávaný, byl také tím nejhorším možným. Trump totiž legitimitu korespondenční volby dlouhodobě zpochybňuje, a to i přes absenci jasných důkazů o podvodech. Stejně jako v roce 2016 jsou klíčovými bojišti státy Pensylvánie (20… » read more

In multi-speed Europe, Czech Republic is not in any rush

June 25, 2019

A recent European Council vote on cutting carbon emissions showed that Czech Republic is not so eager to move towards further European integration. And that perhaps Visegrad Four is soon going to be Visegrad Three.

What are the causes of low Czech voter turnout in the European Parliament elections?

April 29, 2019

Jen málokteré dva národy v Evropě sdílely po staletí tolik společných státních útvarů (např. více než 200 let trvající Polsko-litevská unie), aby mezi sebou ve století dvacátém tak nevraživě fyzicky a rétoricky bojovaly. Řeč je o Polsku a Litvě a jejich vztazích po roce 1989. Na rozdíl od Běloruska, které nastoupilo v porovnání s Litvou… » read more
