The Relationship between National Social Party and its Platform of Young Members in years 1901 - 1910

Tato bakalářská práce se zabývá vztahem České strany národně sociální a její mládežnické organizace v letech 1900 - 1910. Národně sociální mládež tvořila do značné míry autonomní radikální křídlo strany, které se nezdráhalo formulovat vlastní politická stanoviska a vykonávat samostatnou politickou činnost, což s sebou přinášelo riziko konfliktu mezi ní a vedením strany. V práci je analyzován vztah obou dvou subjektů k ideji socialismu a k antimilitaristické činnosti. Zároveň je zkoumáno, jak se odlišný přístup strany a mládeže k těmto dvěma tématům promítl v jejich vzájemném vztahu a v politickém profilu celé strany. Součástí práce je i stručný popis vzniku národně sociální strany a její mládežnické organizace.This bachelor thesis deals with the relation of the Czech National Social Party and its youth organization during 1900 and 1910. National Social Youth was an autonomous radical wing of the party to a large extent. It didn't hesitate to form its own political opinions and exercise an independent political activity which caused a risk of conflict between the youth and the party leadership. The work analyses the relation of both subjects to the idea of socialism and to the antimilitarist activity. It is also investigated how the different attitude of the party and youth to these two topics was reflected in their mutual relation and political profile of the entire party. A part of the work is also a brief description of the origin of National Social Party and its youth organization.Institute of Political ScienceÚstav politologieFaculty of ArtsFilozofická fakult
