This paper investigates the role of civic culture and other political factors in support for democracy in the Czech Republic during the decade following EU accession. The goal is to assess the validity of civic virtue theory and to compare the impact of these factors on affective legitimacy using the ISSP Citizenship modules 2004 and 2014. The authors’ findings show rather weak but stable effects of the horizontal dimension of civic culture – social trust (but not membership in civic organizations), while the influence of the vertical dimension (trust in institutions, political interest, voting) is more variable, influenced by political turbulences. The time comparison also provides evidence of influence of right-wing political ideology and strong and stable effects of evaluations of political and economic performance.

合法性与公民文化：加入欧盟后捷克共和国对民主的信任（2004-2014）

本文调查了公民文化和其他政治因素在加入欧盟后的十年内在支持捷克共和国民主方面的作用。目标是评估公民美德理论的有效性，并使用 ISSP 公民模块 2004 和 2014 比较这些因素对情感合法性的影响。信任（但不是公民组织的成员资格），而纵向维度的影响（对机构的信任、政治利益、投票）则更易变，受政治动荡的影响。时间比较也提供了右翼政治意识形态的影响和政治和经济绩效评估的强大和稳定效果的证据。
