FVP: UVSSPUK007 Introduction to politics and regional politics (Summer 2026)

Course objectives

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the development and structure of political science, the main disciplines and the most important issues of contemporary political science and the role of the state. The course is designed in three broad blocks. In the first of them the students will gain a basic understanding of the development, the object and division of political science, the main theoretical approaches, political philosophy and political ideologies, as as well as the problems of democratic and non-democratic forms of government. The next section provides a brief typological overview of democratic political systems, political parties and party systems, political actors, elections and electoral systems, selected aspects of multilevel governance, and decentralization processes. The last four lectures form a coherent block dealing with regional politics, its instruments, development and main approaches to regional politics, taking into account the possible social impacts in the implementation of selected strategies related to regional politics.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student will be able to characterize the development of political science as an independent discipline and will be able to explain the main areas of interest of political science with regard to its development. The student will be able to define the main aspects and features of political systems with respect to the theoretical definitions of democratic and non-democratic systems. The student will also be able to characterise regional politics and its area of interest.

Tutorial on the changes in Interactive Syllabus

What’s New Connection with the course syllabus
The grey bar on the homepage of the Interactive Syllabus is now more closely connected to the course syllabus. Four items are automatically retrieved from the syllabus and displayed when expanded.
What’s New Chapter Abstrakt and learning outcomes
For each chapter of the Interactive Syllabus, it is now possible to add a chapter abstract, learning outcomes, and an estimated study time requirements for the lesson. This allows teachers to more easily follow the methodological guidelines of the National Accreditation Bureau for courses taught in Distance and Combined Studies.
What’s New Highlighting key content
Internal elements of the Interactive Syllabus can now optionally be marked as key content or as an optional section. This provides instructors with another way to more easily follow the methodological guidelines of the National Accreditation Bureau for courses taught in Distance and Combined Studies.
What’s New Effective and Focused Learning
We have redesigned the display of interactive syllabi to support effective and focused student learning (the so-called “Learning First” approach). Everything that is not beneficial for studying within the interactive syllabus is minimized or removed.
What’s New Effective and Focused Learning
The most visible change is the simplification of the interface. The main system menu is now accessible via a dropdown in the top bar—located in the same place as on mobile devices.
What’s New Version History
Every change made in the interactive syllabus is now automatically saved as a version. You can return to any previous version of the content at any time and restore it. This means you no longer have to worry about accidentally overwriting or losing important data.
Study progress
The “Study progress” indicator shows students how far they have progressed in reading and completing the interactive syllabus. It takes into account viewed chapters, played videos, opened linked files, etc. Students can also easily identify skipped materials and return to them later.
Read rate
Teachers can view their students’ study progress indicator through the “Read rate” feature. This allows them to see how students are progressing in their studies. Teachers can easily identify students who have not yet opened the interactive syllabus and provide them with support.
Copying Content Between Interactive Syllabi
Copying Content Between Interactive Syllabi Chapters can now be copied easily from one interactive syllabus to another using the “Copy Chapters” function. This is especially useful for instructors whose courses overlap in content.
Validation
Validation checks whether the interactive syllabus is set up correctly. For example, it verifies that linked study materials are truly accessible to students and that any linked discussion exists. Validation is recalculated automatically every night.
Header
The interactive syllabus header image can now be repeated at the start of every chapter. Simply select “Zobrazovat úvodní obrázek ve všech kapitolách” when setting up the header image.
Display Switching
For users who dislike changes, we have temporarily kept the option to switch the interactive syllabus display back to the previous version. The IS will remember this preference and display interactive syllabi in the chosen view for that user.
