The selection of candidates is one of the most important processes related to elections which are the key aspect of the functioning of modern democracies. The shape and the outcomes of nomination processes reveal how political parties operate within their organizations. The process of candidate selection also affects the real politics as the political elite is formed from the group of elected candidates. For these reasons, this topic is slowly gaining significance in political science. The book follows these trends and focuses on the nomination processes in the Czech political parties for elections to the Chamber of Deputies in 2010. Its aim is not only to map and analyse the Czech case, but also to contribute to the theoretical debate about how to study the selection of candidates in a broader sense.
