Englichová, Lucie ; Kopsa Těšinová, Jolana (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the support of families of children with severe autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It takes into account the gaps in support, which have been pointed out in recent years by both researchers and the target group itself. It sums the needs of these families, explaining them in the context of the current state of social politics. The aim is to reflect on the needs of these specific families and what kind of help is provided in the field of social benefits and social services. It simultaneously aims to reveal how key social politics work in practice in relation to people caring for children with severe ASD and to identify possible deficits of such politics. The theoretical part maps the theory of implementation, individual approaches to implementation and problematic factors. The practical part uses qualitative approach. Data was gathered by the means of semi-structured interviews with five experts on the issue. The research had shown that within the Czech republic there is still a lack of services capable of serving the needs of children with severe ASD. The incapacity is caused by a general underfinancing of the social sector and also by the system of distribution of the state-provided grants. The research also suggests that factors contributing to the current state are...

"You can't command a change of thinking": system of informal education for the elderly from the public policy perspective
Bílková, Kateřina ; Hejzlarová, Eva (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of non-formal education for senior citizens in Czech Republic from the perspective of public policy. The main goal of this thesis is to capture the current state, main challenges and key topics in the field of non-formal education for senior citizens in Czech Republic. The system of non-formal education for senior citizens represents a complex structure of institutions, which offer educational programmes and activities. Both the system and the senior population are immensely diverse, which, on one hand, offers a high degree of flexibility and autonomy to both, the participants and the institutions. But on the other hand, it presents a challenge for public policy to capture the complexity of the phenomenon, whilst maintaining inclusivity. The non-formal education for senior citizens isn't defined by the legislative and the field therefore falls under three different departments: Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports; Ministry of Labour and Social Affair and Ministry of Culture. Due to the aforementioned diversity, the research uses qualitative study design and is carried out through expert interviews and the analysis of public policy documents. The sample of experts is designed to capture the experience of all types of institutions, which offer some form of...

The enforcement of same sex marriage through the lens of multiple streams framework
Pluhař, Filip ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Hejzlarová, Eva (referee)
This thesis aims to describe and explain the process of advocating for an amendment to the Civil Code that would legalize same-sex marriage in the Czech Republic. This proposal which was introduced to the Chamber of Deputies in 2018 had never been approved. The current legislation allows gays and lesbians to enter into a registered partnership with limited rights compared to the institution of marriage. The thesis should identify the arguments and strategies used by the same-sex marriage policy entrepreneurs. Furthermore, it aims to find the reasons which led to the rejection of the proposed amendment. The perspective of Multiple streams framework is applied to the whole issue. Analysis is based mainly on the findings obtained from the interviews with policy entrepreneurs and the deputies who voted on the amendment. Transcripts of the Chamber of Deputies proceedings and media outputs were used as secondary data. The results show in which cases were the entrepreneurs successful and at which stage of the process the opposite was true. The thesis then describes possible reasons that led to the failure and attempts to justify why certain strategies and arguments were ineffective and did not convince the deputies - decision makers.
