Territorial self-government is an area of public administration that is constantly evolving. It is therefore important to learn about new perspectives on this issue. Territorial self-government is part of modern corporate governance, which is based on a plurality of political and social interests. The reason why every citizen should have a basic knowledge of the functioning of territorial self-government is that each of us has the right to participate in its management. The importance of territorial self-government in the system of state management is also confirmed by the fact that it has been granted an important position in the main law of the state -the Constitution of the Slovak Republic. Although this topic is extremely important, it is not given adequate attention at the theoretical, constitutional level. Author JUDr. Lívia Trellová, PhD. in her publication "Constitutional law aspects of territorial self-government" tries to deepen this issue. She emphasizes that the constitutional regulation defines territorial self-government rather in a framework and that the material scope of the municipality's self-government rather leaves the areas of legal regulation. According to the author, since the adoption of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic in 1992, there have naturally been several theoretically unanswered questions in matters of territorial selfgovernment.The monograph is divided into five chapters, which deal with individual constitutional aspects of territorial self-government. In the introduction to the first chapter, the author tries to theoretically develop the concept of territorial self-government and its expression in the horizontal and vertical power in the state. The relatively little-studied relationship of territorial self-government to the system of division of power is described here quite extensively. In this part, the author also relies on the historical and theoretical development of the idea of territorial self-government through several authors who have dealt with this issue in the past. These are mainly authors such as Karel Klíma, Zdeněk Koudelka and Georg Jellinek. At the end of the first chapter, the author defines the space that describes the origin of the regulation itself in the international and national context. In the second chapter of the presented monograph, we get to the issue of the
The subject of this article is the analysis of the 2020 parliamentary elections in the Slovak Republic from the point of view of the regional success of individual political entities. The authors refer the strong and weak areas of support for individual political parties, which gained more than five percent of the votes on a nationwide scale. As the Slovak Republic is considered as single constituency in the parliamentary elections, the results themselves do not literally indicate the areas with the strongest or weakest voter support. It is interesting to observe the extent of influence of the residence of the electoral leader, the ethnic composition of the population or the religiosity on the electoral behaviour. Equally interesting is the observation of the stability of electoral preferences, as we have witnessed largely different results in the 2020 parliamentary elections compared to the 2019 elections (presidential elections, as well as the European Parliament elections). Key words: parliamentary elections, Slovak Republic, electoral gain, National Council of the Slovak Republic, regions.
