It is based on the most widespread theories of portfolio distribution in executive and legislative bodies (proportionality, power index, voting weights), and it tests these theories using data related to coalition negotiations in the Czech Republic for the new 2021 government coalition, a&nbsp;case of a&nbsp;surplus majority government. The study investigates the distribution of ministerial positions in the government, the office of President (Speaker) of the Chamber of Deputies, and the chairs of permanent parliamentary committees. The analysis also explores the types of electoral coalitions formed; the SPOLU coalition was a&nbsp;superadditive coalition, while the PirSTAN coalition was only an additive coalition. Grounded in the theory of electoral games, the Shapley-Shubik and Banzhaf power indices and the theory of coalition formation are applied in order to analyse the possible minimal winning coalitions that could be formed following the 2021 elections to the Chamber of Deputies.</p> Tomáš Jarmara Copyright © 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-03-25 2024-03-25 1 4–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠27 4–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠27 10.5817/PC2024-1-4 https://czechpolsci.eu/article/view/38193 <p>The aim of the contribution is to examine how eligible voters in the 2020 parliamentary election perceive social justice in relation to the old-age pension system in the Slovak Republic. The sub-objective is to analyse possible significant differences in the perception of social justice among eligible voters in the 2020 parliamentary election in relation to the old-age pension system in terms of their political orientation. 701 respondents (349 women and 352 men) responded to questions asking about their political orientation as eligible voters in the parliamentary election in Slovakia in 2020 and the degree of perceived social justice in relation to the old-age pension system of the Slovak Republic. The results showed the fair distribution of deposits and returns is important for the respondents’ perception of social justice in relation to the old-age pension system of the Slovak Republic. The analyses showed that respondents with different political orientations had different opinions on the extent to which the calculation of the old-age pension should depend on the amount of income.</p> Richard Geffert Denisa Rovenská Copyright © 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-03-25 2024-03-25 1 28–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠48 28–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠48 10.5817/PC2024-1-28 https://czechpolsci.eu/article/view/37659 Łukasz Święcicki Copyright © 2024 Łukasz Święcicki https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-03-25 2024-03-25 1 49–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠51⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 49–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠51⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 10.5817/PC2024-1-49 https://czechpolsci.eu/article/view/37365 Vladimir Đorđević Copyright © 2024 Vladimir Đorđević https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-03-25 2024-03-25 1 52–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠55 52–⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠55 10.5817/PC2024-1-52
