Relationship of Turkey and selected EU member states in the context of accession process
Štaudová, Kateřina ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Cihelková, Eva (referee)
Turkey has made a big progress in developing democratic and thriving state in last 60 years. In its history nevertheless you can find a few moments which make its accession to EU harder. Whether it is recognition of the Armenian genocide or the divided Cyprus island. The biggest Turkish struggle is not insufficent economic development but political issues in the field of human rights. Turkish public and the government has been losing its enthusiasm towards the EU membership, partly because of the european crisis, but mainly because of the feeling, that European Union only throws obstacles into their effort. Therefore, Turkey slowly realizes its growing importance and makes its own foreign policy heading not only to Europe and the West. Both member states and the EU as a whole should try to look further into the future and set the priorities.

In addition to the provision of unemployment benefits it is primarily focused on an active fight against unemployment, which helps the job seekers to find a job position. The main objective of this bachelor thesis is the comparative analysis of Czech, British and German labor market policy and its measures. Theoretical basis of labor market policy and the description of historical development in these three countries are given as well. Based on the comparison of the studied systems, improvement suggestions for the Czech labor market policy are proposed. Specifically, unification of the percentage calculation of unemployment benefits into two rates, with a special rate for parents, and the obligation of active job search are recommended concerning passive labor market policy. In the field of active labor market policy it is proposed to increase qualification of the low qualified employees in all sectors.
