The basic task of this thesis is to analyse the political visions of Václav Klaus. The start point is Klaus's entry into high politics in 1989 and the final is the period of his presidency, i. e. the present time. The first part briefly discusses Klaus's professional career before 1989. The following chapter discusses the input Vaclav Klaus in politics, his role in the division of Czechoslovakia and subsequently his position after the establishment of the independent Czech Republic (the position of Prime Minister of the Czech government and since 1997 head of the main opposition party). Next part of the thesis is concerned to the position of the President in relation to the government, the legislature and the judiciary. The President's powers are defined in terms of both constitutional theory and in relation to how the powers developed in conjunction with the practice. There are such examples of presidential vetoes. The thesis also discusses Klaus' attitudes towards selected key issues such as internal politics and presidential powers under it, the relationship with the European Union, relations with Russia, relation to environmental issues, the views of the civil society and NGOism). The aim is to answer the question of how developed during the time of Klaus' political visions, and analyse their consistency. The thesis does not discuss the evaluating or analysing the Klaus's views as such, but only examines the sources of these ideas, their development and their integrity.
