Conflict of interest of public officials
Kapras, Jiří ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Kudrna, Jan (referee) ; Syllová, Jindřiška (referee)
1 Abstract The dissertation is focused on the topic of conflict of interest as a decision-making problem in the performance of public functions, when the public interest, which the public official has to promote or defend by virtue of his position, and his private interest come into conflict. The existing institutes of the Czech legal system, which regulate situations of conflict of interest, are divided into several groups, to which chapters of the dissertation are dedicated. Specifically, it concerns i) the pivotal and overarching duty of prevention and prioritizing the public interest over personal interest; ii) so called 'genuine incompatibility' and iii) 'non-genuine incompatibility'; iv) reporting obligations; and v) a category of other institutes focusing foremost on cooling-off period and regulation of lobbying. The dissertation focuses specifically on the following areas of problems: i) in the case of genuine incompatibility (Chapter 4) on the issue of the cumulation of the function of a member of Parliament of the Czech Republic with the function of a member of the council of territorial self-governing units and certain negative manifestations associated with it in the process of adoption of laws affecting the territorial self-governments; ii) in the case of non-genuine incompatibility (Chapter...

Emergency Governance in Czech Constitutional Context
Dienstbier, Jakub ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Kudrna, Jan (referee) ; Kosař, David (referee)
Emergency Governance in Czech Constitutional Context Abstract This dissertation thesis focuses on emergency governance from the perspective of the constitutional theory, using the legal-positivist theory of normative institutionalism, the Planning Theory of Law and the findings of Czech (Czechoslovak) legal academia and practice. The first part of the thesis focuses on addressing the question: what makes emergency governance emergency? First, it introduces governance as an action that determines the conduct of a universal public institution - the state. This governance, like any action, is governed by descriptive and practical information that creates a certain picture of the world, a certain situation. To characterize emergency governance, the thesis imports the key role of a specific image of the world - an emergency situation, the suppression of which is the meaning and purpose of emergency governance. The thesis then characterizes an emergency situation as a present, urgent and unusually intense threat capable of causing harm to the referent object. Next, the thesis analyses issues related to the notion of emergency, such as the question of the type of reference object, the presumed short-term character and unpredictability of emergency situations, as well as the relation of the emergency situation to...

Dissents and their role in judicial decision-making
Stádník, Jakub ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Preuss, Ondřej (referee)
Dissents and their role in judicial decision-making Jakub Stádník Abstract This thesis deals with dissents to judicial decisions, i.e., dissenting opinions of the judges which are published along with the decision. In the Czech context, these are mainly dissenting opinions of the Constitutional Court judges, which (despite the lack of direct binding force) occupy a significant space not only in academic discussions but can also become the basis for future changes in legal opinion. Despite this practical significance of the dissenting opinions, however, they have received rather little attention or, with a few exceptions, have not been dealt with in a broader context in any text to date. This was the main motivation for writing my thesis. The most important context in relation to the existence of dissents is their impact on the legitimacy of decisions. There are views that consider dissenting opinions to be beneficial to the legitimacy of courts and their decisions, as well as views that are quite the opposite. Thus, the primary goal of this paper is to analyze the role of dissenting opinions in terms of their impact on the legitimacy of decisions. This is an aspect that runs throughout the whole text. The thesis begins by defining the terms dissent and dissenting opinion and seeks to introduce both foreign...

Law, Progress, and the Temporality of Politics
Géryk, Jan ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Bárány, Eduard (referee) ; Bělohradský, Václav (referee) ; Ondřejek, Pavel (referee)
Law, Progress, and the Temporality of Politics Abstract The present work is an interdisciplinary contribution to the study of late-modern temporality. Following the tradition of critical theory, it comes up with both functional and normative critique of contemporary society, which it frames with the term "anxiety society". The materialization of "anxiety society" is the experience of what Hartmut Rosa calls "frenetic standstill" in which "nothing remains the same, but nothing essentially changes". We begin our analysis with the statistics of the increasing prevalence of psychiatric patients with anxiety and depression and the related critique of how the "privatisation of stress" ignores the societal context of mental disorders. Next, the thesis will focus on the systemic causes of mental health changes in the population. We will identify the fact that the sources of mental distress are increasingly abstract as the anxiety- creating specificity of contemporary society. We live in a post-disciplinary society that is not based on the dichotomy of forbidden/allowed, but on the division of the possible and the impossible, and in which subjects increasingly control themselves in accordance with the demands of the system, so that coercion and freedom merge. However, the social pathology of the present emerges...

Evolution of the interpretation and application of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution in the context of security policy of Japan
Kraus, Lukáš ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Syllová, Jindřiška (referee) ; Zbíral, Robert (referee)
Evolution of the interpretation and application of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution in the context of security policy of Japan Abstract The main objective of this dissertation is to analyze an important constitutional and legal issue, which is the interpretation of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution in light of the changing security policy of Japan, with particular emphasis on the passage of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's controversial legislation in 2015. In addition to historical models of governance, the thesis describes the debate over the constitutional text and shows that while Article 9 was intended to be a safeguard against the re-militarization of Japan and the recurrence of wartime horrors, with new challenges, the United States sought to rebuild Japan's armed forces. Japan's LDP-dominated governments, however, citing the Cabinet Legislation Bureau's strict interpretation of Article 9, largely resisted these pressures, leaving security to its American ally and focusing on economic development. Radical constitutional reinterpretation and constitutional revision was hindered not only by the rigidity of the constitution but also by the structure of the political system, in which the proponents of the norm of antimilitarism had a significant role to play. The end of the Cold War, however,...

Glass ornaments in north Italian burials in the 6th-4th century BC
Matznerová, Jana ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Venclová, Natalie (referee)
The focus of this work is glass ornaments from the 6th to 4th century BC. The aim of the thesis is to explore the role and regional specifics of the glass ornaments, etc. beads, pendants, Glasbügefibeln, finger rings and hair pins, in the funerary contexts of felsinian, atestine and Umbrian culture. The thesis also contains glass spindle whorls, which although not glass ornaments, share with glass beads many characteristics. The most numerous group of glass ornaments are beads, which are usually found in graves (inhumation) located in the upper part of the chest or around the head, so is highly probable that glass beads were used as part of the necklaces. Grouped with the glass beads are usually another possible components of the necklace- amber, coral, metal, terracotta, stone or shells. The complexity and diversity of these necklaces vary on the different sites. This work explores mainly the difference between two major centres in the eastern Po plain Bologna and Este. On the other hand, the glass spindle whorls are usually found around the tibia of the deceased. Glass spindle whorls are typical, particularly in Bologna. The rest of the glass ornaments, etc. finger rings, hair pins and Glasbügelfibeln are rather rare. Key words: glass, archaeology, burial, northern Italy, Iron Age, ornament, bead

The Right and the Left
Toman, Jonáš ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Chmel, Jan (referee)
1 Right and left Abstract This work is standing on two main pillars, consisting of two parts. The first part describes the left right spectrum, showing possible alternatives, examining whether there is superiority to this concept of classification of the political spectrum and where does it lie. The second part is a look into the history of the left right dualism, its origin and changes through time from its beginning up to the year of 1989, showing the changeability of political conflict, mainly through time but also through space. First part focuses on left right dualism itself, explaining how we understand it, mentioning some competitive concepts and presenting chosen ones. The outcome of this part is an attempt at synthesis of two to three concepts into a final scheme, that is not letting go of the left right division, while trying to include a level of predictive value. The historical second part begins with two critically influential revolutions, which shook the western world, but which ended with formation of democracies comparable to ones we see today. The work opens up the question of coincidence regarding the origin of the terminology of right and left. Showing that the terms were dictated by the seating of the representatives of certain political ideologies. The amount to which this mechanism was...

Parliamentary structure: is there an optimal model?
Holeček, Adam ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Ondřejková, Jana (referee)
Parliamentary structure: is there an optimal model? Abstract The diploma thesis on the topic "Parliamentary structure: is there an optimal model?" deals with the question of the ideal model of the composition of the parliament in terms of the number of its chambers. Its aim is to provide an overview of the various possibilities that have emerged, whether in history or the world today. From this it tries to draw conclusions for the answer to the question whether to prefer unicameralism or bicameralism. The issue is then transferred to the context of the Czech Senate. The first chapter deals with the issue of the institute of parliament in general. It is focused on the definition of this term, which took on different meanings in different time epochs or in different places. Then it deals with the concept of parliamentary structure. The second chapter deals with the unicameral form of parliamentary structure, including its characteristics, historical and intellectual development. Subsequently, four specific and different examples of unicameral parliaments in the world are described. These are the parliaments of Slovakia, as an example of unicameralism in pure form, Iran, which is a case of a unicameral parliament with theocratic elements, Botswana, which has a tribal element, and the example of so- called...
