ABSTRACT

In this study the author deals with a perception of corruption in the Czech Republic. According to many authors, he acknowledges distinctions between two levels of discourses – one related to political elites, the other one to society. This study is focused on elite discourse, specifically on discourse within electoral programs of the political parties – the author presents results of both qualitative and quantitative content analysis of electoral programs of four Czech political parties (ODS, KDU-ČSL, ČSSD, KSČM) in this text. The main goal is to show how the topic of corruption has changed during the post-communist development, whether is the corruption seen as related to the process of privatization of an ex-state property, and whether (and how) perception of corruption has changed in response to concrete events (like particular corruption cases or so-called opposition agreement 1998-2002). The development of the perception of corruption is therefore put into the context of general political development in the Czech Republic.

Key words: corruption, perception of corruption, political parties, electoral programs
