Why Are Democracy and Oligarchy the Most Important ‘Constitutions’ in Aristotle’s View and How Do They Fundamentally Differ?Articles
Miroslav Novák
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(2): 187-211 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.033
According to Aristotle, democracy and oligarchy are empirically the most widespread and analytically fundamental ‘constitutions’. I analyse how in different places in his Politics Aristotle ‘positively’ defines and differentiates between democracy and oligarchy. At the same time, I substantiate in detail a new interpretation of Aristotle‘s view that significantly differs from the current interpretation. ‘Combining’ the elements, procedures, and principles of democracy and oligarchy gives rise to mixed 'constitutions', a special place among which is occupied by the politeia or republic, which is the best regime...
Violence, Bias and People with Disabilities: An Introduction to Disablist Hate Crime ResearchArticles
Václav Walach
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(2): 157-185 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.012
Violence against disabled people has recently been recognised as an important, albeit neglected research topic. Drawing attention to violence motivated by anti-disability bias, this article offers an introduction to research on disablist hate crime. First, it presents a conceptualisation of hate crime and explains such concepts as disablism and ableism. Second, it discusses the concept of disability/disablist hate crime and analyses four areas that reflect the multifaceted nature of disability hate crime research and the social applications of the concept, ranging from conceptual issues to empirical findings, to political implications. These issues...
Proportionality, Integration Effect, and Legitimacy of the Electoral System to the Czech Chamber of Representatives: A Simulation Study of the Impacts of D0146Hondt divisor, Imperiali Quota and Hare QuotaArticles
Filip Horák, Marek Antoš, Dan Sklenář, David Lacko
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(2): 127-155 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.017
Although the change in the electoral system used in elections to the Chamber of Deputies has attracted the attention of lawyers, political scientists, and sociologists, we still lack a comprehensive comparative analysis of the new system with the original one or other alternatives. The main reason for this is the lack of empirical data. This article overcomes this problem using a simulation of electoral results that correspond to the real Czech election environment. On the basis of this simulated dataset it is possible to generate generalisable conclusions about the proportionality, integration effect, and legitimacy of three electoral formulas: the...

The Use of Multilevel Models in Analysing Contextual Effects of Labour Force Participation Rate on Redistribution Support with Comparative Longitudinal Survey DataArticles
Ivan Petrúšek
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(1): 67-93 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2024.001
This article studies the links between a country’s labour force participation rate and attitudes towards income redistribution. The article also demonstrates how to specify a multilevel model when analysing contextual effects and it presents several types of random effects structures and options for centering explanatory variables in comparative longitudinal survey data. The contextual effect is decomposed into longitudinal and cross-sectional components for time-varying contextual variables, such as the labour force participation rate. The analysis of redistribution support based on ESS data from 27 countries and nine rounds shows how fundamentally...
Exponential Random Graph Models: Modelling Relational Mechanisms in the Inter-organisational Network of the Czech Coal SubsystemArticles
Tomáš Diviák, Petr Ocelík
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(1): 7-35 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.046
This study provides the first comprehensive introduction to exponential random graph models (ERGM) in the Czech academic literature. In it we apply ERGM to a network of 68 organisations involved in the Czech coal policy subsystem. First, we summarise the major limitations of the statistical modelling of network data arising from the interdependencies among observations and explain principled solutions to them provided by ERGM. Next, we discuss ERGM’s metatheoretical assumptions and their embeddedness within the broader context of social science research. We then introduce three types of relational mechanisms (endogenous, individual, and dyadic)...
Testing the Psychometric Properties and Equivalence of the Czech Version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Item Response Theory, and Bayesian ModellingArticles
Radka Hanzlová, Petra Raudenská
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(1): 37-66 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.047
The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) is one of the most commonly used instruments for measuring life satisfaction. The aim of this study is to test the psychometric properties of the Czech version of the SWLS using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Item Response Theory (IRT) and to test its invariance between social groups in terms of gender, age, and education using Bayesian modelling on a representative sample of the Czech online population, as the scale has not yet been tested on representative data in the Czech Republic. The research sample consists of 960 respondents aged 18 to 69 years. The results confirmed that the psychometric properties...
