Eršilová, Zdeňka ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Špeciánová, Šárka (referee)
The topic of the thesis is the role of street-level bureaucrats in the selection of tools for the prevention of child removal to foster care. The aim of the thesis is to compare the practice of street-level bureaucrats in selected social-legal protection of children institutions in Ústí region and Pardubice region. In order to achieve the aim of the thesis, qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews with the workers of the child social-legal protection body was used. The thesis identified differences in the use of some tools by street- level bureaucrats in the analysed regions. The main difference was the use of interactive case conferences and family conferences in the Pardubice region. The thesis described the barriers that prevent workers in the Ústí region from using the family conference tool and the circumstances for (not)removing children to foster care. Furthermore, factors influencing street-level bureaucrats in the choice of the tool were identified and the thesis highlights a possible difference in criteria for removing children to foster care across the regions, which would be worth further exploration.

The Social Housing Act through the lens of the Multiple Stream Framework
Dubišarová, Pavla ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Novotný, Vilém (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to describe and explain the process of advocacy of the Act on Social Housing in two different governmental periods, to find out the reasons for its failure and what strategies the actors used to promote their interests. The Act has been discussed in political discourse since 2007. During the government period of Bohuslav Sobotka, the agenda was pushed through and the substantive plan for the law was subsequently created. In the second government term of Andrej Babiš, work on the substantive plan was abandoned soon after the government was formed, and towards the end of the term there was an effort to push through the part dealing with the Act on Affordable Housing together with the Act on Public Benefit Housing Companies. In both periods, advocacy efforts were unsuccessful. Considering how complex and ambiguous the issue of the housing crisis and the actors involved in it are, I chose the Multiple Stream Framework for research. To analyse the policies, I used thematic analysis to examine secondary data such as public policy documents, strategic documents, expert studies and media outputs. The second type of data I used in my thesis were expert interviews. The results provide information on what strategies were used by the different actors, what were the main disagreements...

Otrošinová, Dominika ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Tušková, Eva (referee)
The diploma thesis maps a fifteen-year period of repeated and so far unsuccessful efforts to establish the office of the Ombudsman for Children in the Czech Republic. It divides this period into several stages, and for each of them looks for as many elements as possible that have influenced the given stage. Using the Multiple Streams Approach, it focuses on the phase of agenda-setting, finds the main actors of each period, and describes their approaches to setting the topic. It compares the individual stages with each other on the basis of the criteria with which the MSA works. It points, for example, to differences in the position of individual promoters or, conversely, to similar influences of individual streams. In conclusion, it proposes a set of recommendations for the future process, which are based on the analysis.
