Abstract
The paper analyzes the internal development and organizational change of the Czech Social Democratic Party (ČSSD) since Mr. Paroubek has taken up the office of the party president in 2006.
In the course of last four years we analyze results of an ambitious program of the party modernization which has been based on redistribution of very important financial resources (owns revenues and states subsides) leading into new organizational patters of internal decision making. Former organizational structures has been weakened in favour of the electoral headquarter composed of non-elected party members and external consultants and some consequent changes in party status has increased a power of the party president.
We understand that the construction of a charismatic leadership weren't intentionally sought, but it has resulted from the pressure to adapt the party to a permanent electoral campaign and to find a suitable response to the supposed expectation of target electorate.
