Abstract
The chapter begins by tracking the origins of the great but unwritten authority the Czech president enjoys. The key figure in this sense was the main architect of Czechoslovakia’s First Republic (1918–1938) Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. The Czech presidency naturally carried over from the Czechoslovak model, moreover, the last Czechoslovak president, Václav Havel, became the first president of the Czech Republic. Havel and his successor Václav Klaus were highly visible presidents. We can pick out some of the moments in which the Czech presidents behaved as autonomous political actors. Our goal is also to outline how their active style in office has, in certain situations, increased the weight of the presidency.
Abstract (in Czech)
Tento text věnuje nejprve pozornost zdrojům nadstandardní neformální autority, kterou prezident požívá. Klíčovou pojednávanou postavou je hlavní tvůrce První československé republiky (1918-1938) Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. České prezidentství se přirozeně zrodilo na československém základě. Výrazně k tomu přispělo i to, že poslední československý prezident Václav Havel se takřka automaticky stal i prvním českým prezidentem. Havel i jeho nástupce Václav Klaus přitom byli velmi viditelnými prezidenty. Zaměřujeme se na některé momenty, během nichž se oba chovali jako autonomní političtí hráči. Naším cílem je také analyzovat, jak jejich aktivní styl výkonu úřadu v zvyšoval v určitých situacích váhu jejich prezidentství.
