This article focuses on party competition in Bolivia from a multilevel approach with department (intermediate level) as the territorial unit of analysis from 2005 to 2015. The objective is to demonstrate the (in)congruence of an institutional level overlooked by the literature on multilevel studies, for which two indices of measurement are used: Summary Measure of Congruence (Gibson and Suarez-Cao 2010) in a one version and Dissimilarity Index (Johnston 1980) in two versions, nationally aggregated and departmentally disaggregated, with voting data from all competing parties (DISa) and only from those with double competition (DISb). The argument handled is that if an institutional level is important enough to be introduced to the electoral framework of a country, it should also be important enough for academic interest, especially in their relation with the rest of the system. From this, the study concluded that the importance of this institutional level depends on the degree of autonomy it has and the interest of the partisan actors and regional elites. / El presente artículo aborda la competencia partidista en Bolivia desde un enfoque multinivel a partir del departamento (nivel intermedio) como unidad territorial de análisis de 2005 a 2015. El objetivo es dar cuenta de la (in)congruencia que presenta un nivel institucional soslayado por la literatura existente sobre los estudios multinivel. Con este propósito se utilizan dos herramientas de medición: la Medida de Congruencia (Gibson y Suárez-Cao 2010) en una sola versión y el Índice de Disimilitud (Johnston 1980) en dos versiones, agregada a nivel nacional y desagregada por departamentos, con la introducción de datos de todos los partidos (DISa) y de los partidos con doble competencia (DISb). El argumento que se maneja es que si un nivel institucional es lo suficientemente importante para ser introducido al ámbito electoral de un país, debería serlo también para el interés académico y más en su relación con el resto del sistema. A partir de esto, el estudio ha llegado a la conclusión de que la importancia de este nivel institucional depende del grado de autonomía que posea y del interés de los actores partidistas y las élites regionales.

This diploma thesis deals with the topic of strategic management and planning at the central level of public administration of the Czech Republic, where the dominant attention is paid to two ministries, namely the Ministry of Regional Development and the Ministry of the Interior. The main aim of the thesis is to identify the current condition of strategic management and planning of both chosen ministries, based on secondary data analysis and semi-structured interviews with ministerial officials and public administration experts. The focal point of the research is concentrated on the analysis of the capacity (availability) of these ministries in the field of development and strengthening of strategic management and planning in public administration. Attention is also paid to specific obstacles to the performance of strategic activity of both ministries. For this purpose, is conducted a qualitative analysis, which in this context gradually focuses on both examined cases. Based on the findings and analysis of the current situation, the partial intention of the diploma thesis is dedicated to theoretical and practical recommendations and assumptions concerning the strategic governance of the Czech Republic.
