To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first of its kind to present a thorough analysis of the contextual forces that have an indisputable impact on the innovation ecosystem of the Czech public administration. It seeks an answer to the following question: Which political factors influence the innovation ecosystem of the Czech public administration? The study aims to identify and describe the key legal and governmental documents that determine the volatile political environment for the implementation and development of innovative public administration in the Czech Republic. Attention is also paid to the international actors (EU, OECD, OPSI), whose activities significantly influence the direction of the Czech public administration in the field of innovations. The study concludes that from a political, legislative and methodological point of view, the conditions for innovation in public administration have been created in the Czech Republic. However, the question remains of how to actively use these conditions.
