Interdependence obchodních vztahů mezi Austrálií a Čínou
Kluchová, Monika
The area of interest of this diploma thesis is the interdependence of trade relations between Australia and China. The diploma thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The heoretical part of the thesis consists of two main parts. The first part deals with the topic of the world economy and the tendencies that constantly affect it. The second part discusses foreign trade, its basic forms, development and selected theories of foreign trade. At first, the practical part deals with a brief assessment of the development of the economy and foreign trade of Australia and China. Subsequently, an analysis of trade relations between Australia and China, especially in the years 1995-2021, is made. Then, the degree of trade dependence of these relationships is evaluated. This thesis will also point to the development of territorial and commodity specialization or diversification of both countries. The last part of the thesis discusses the development of the position of the European Union as a trading partner of Australia.
Indigenous people in the Australian political system
Haut, Šimon ; Říchová, Blanka (advisor) ; Guasti, Petra (referee)
This thesis describes the situation of indigenous people in Australia. However, before it is possible to approach the Australian aborigines, it is necessary to outline some theoretical concepts that can be used in the investigation of this issue. In this case, theories from the field of International Relations and International Law will provide us with basics framework. International organizations are also significantly involved in the whole issue, and they are also discussed in this thesis. This list is followed by examples from Sweden, Norway, Canada and New Zealand. All these countries have their own indigenous people and each of them has taken a different approach in dealing with the issue of their respected minority. Their examples show us where Australia could go. Thesis then examines the concepts and changes introduced by individual Australian governments since 1970. Emphasis is placed on distinguishing the Labor Party and Liberal Party governments, as we expect differences in the chosen approaches. A constructed timeline and selected laws and court decisions are used to analyse these differences.
Sources and framing: a comparison of media coverage of climate change across the world
McCauley, Amina Rhyl ; Neag, Annamária (advisor) ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (referee)
in English This paper looks into how climate change is being covered by newspaper media in two Global South countries and two Global North countries - India, the Philippines, Denmark and Australia. While there is some literature on who the main sources are in climate change coverage, as well as how frequently climate change is covered in different countries, there is less literature on how climate change is framed, and how this relates to who the main sources are. Analyzing articles from three newspapers in each country, this content analysis gathered data on what sources are being predominantly used in news articles, and further, how these articles are being framed. It was found that climate change has become a highly politicized issue in the media across most of these countries, and that the main voice in how climate change is becoming to be understood is politicians - except for in Denmark. At the same time, it was found that climate change is mainly being framed as an issue in need of action - except for in Australia.

Žáková, Samantha ; Janská, Eva (advisor) ; Pavelková, Lenka (referee)
The main aim of the thesis is to describe the development of immigration policy and immigration in Australia since the first colonization of the country up to the present. Individual waves since 1778 are analyzed, i.e. from the colonization of British settlers and immigration associated with gold rush to non-British immigration after the World War II. The work describes the shift from discriminatory White Australia policy which was abandoned mainly after Migration Act 1958 to multicultural policy. There were two different approaches to multiculturalism: assimilation of immigrants during the 1950s and their integration in the 1960s. Gaugh Whitlam government finally abolished the White Australia policy in 1973 replacing both previous positions with multicultural policy. Governments of prime ministers and changes of their approaches to multicultural policies since 1970s up to the present are discussed. Current migration and humanitarian program as well as special Department of Immigration and visa system are also part of this work.
