Summary/Abstract: Lenka Hrbková dedicates Chapter 9 to a look at executive coalitions associated with earlier established theoretical and methodological frameworks of analysis of coalitions in the political system of the Czech Republic. The goal was to examine the formation of individual coalitionsin the regions, followed by classifying them according to a typology using two criteria in combination: the number of coalition partners and their ideological proximity. This approach builds on previous research on coalitions after the 2008 elections, and on that basis attempts to corroborate the theory that shifts have begun to occur toward more ideologically similar coalitions and at the same time toward more frequent formations of minimum winning coalitions.
