Description	The goal of this text is to offer a systematic analysis of political activism in the Czech Republic. The article first differentiates between and theoretically defines three types of political activism. These are old, new, and radical types of activism. The first is primarily represented by trade unions, the second by organizations with a post-materialistic orientation, and the third by political groups positioned on the far right and left. To analyze them, the text utilizes selected tools of social movement theory.
