Long-run Evolution of Income Inequality in several European Countries and the US
Hrušková, Tereza ; Abrhám, Josef (advisor) ; Popovová, Marie (referee)
In the present study, the long-run evolution of income inequality in several European countries and the US has been presented and the Kuznets' hypothesis empirically assessed. According to Kuznets (1955), the evolution of income inequality along the development process can be pictured as an inverted U-shaped curve. In other words, inequality firstly increases and subsequently decreases as the economy develops. What follows the empirical part is a brief summary of explanations for the reversal observed since the 1970s and 1980s, which have been presented in the literature. In addition, several European socio-economic models are described to demonstrate that there is no simple trade-off between inequality and unemployment as hypothesized by Krugman (1995).

Development of local Agenda 21 by using resources from the EU (case study of Uherské Hradiště)
Pančochová, Lenka ; Abrhám, Josef (advisor) ; Popovová, Marie (referee)
In my desertion I focus on financing the development of local Agenda 21 from the Revolving Fund of the Department of the Environment. Financial resources of this fund were transferred from the former revolving funds Phare, which were sponsored by the European Union. I concern with the principles of using these resources, keeping on them and possibilities of their drawing. I pay attention mostly to grants (e.g. form of non-returnable money), that are aimed at sustainable development on the local level. I put all my knowledge from this area into effect working on case study of the town Uherské Hradiště. This town received money from the Revolving Fund of the Department of the Environment in the first appeal which was proclaimed in January 2008. Nowadays Uherské Hradiště has fulfilled all the necessary criteria to be shifted into higher category in the system of local Agenda 21 and therefore is a suitable subject for applying for the next grant from this fund within the third appeal. This appeal is going from the end of April 2009. Uherské Hradiště has significantly changed in the right way from receiving the extra money to help the town with sustainable development. Communication with public is on the highest level ever.

Immigration and integration of foreigners in the UK
Slavíková, Jana ; Abrhám, Josef (advisor) ; Popovová, Marie (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the approach of the United Kingdom to immigration and integration of third country nationals. The analysis is joined by comparison with the situation and measures taken within the European Union. The paper depicts the development and changes of the EU integration policy and the current system of immigration policies in the United Kingdom. Attention is also drawn to the public opinion and perception of immigrants in the host societies. Since the 90s, the integration policies of the EU Member States seem to be converging to the "civic integration" model. Emphasis is placed on the individual integration of immigrants, but their group affiliation is also accepted. Integration has to be a two-way process, with efforts made by the immigrants as well as the host society. Despite that, it has rather become a precondition which has to be fulfilled by the immigrants in order to gain more rights. The United Kingdom is also starting to condition the admission and citizenship acquisition by fulfilling language and knowledge criteria, regarding the history, institutions and life in the country. Even though its integration policy is one of the most successful, the current steps raise doubts.

Foreigners on the Czech labour market (example of the Ukrainian circular migration)
Popovová, Marie ; Lupták, Milan (advisor) ; Němec, Otakar (referee)
Cirkulární migrace představuje nový celosvětový fenomén, který rozvíjí princip dvojí výhry ? tedy zisk pro zdrojovou i hostitelskou zemi pracovní migrace. Pracovní migrace je dnes častým projevem na českém trhu práce, který se v budoucnu z ekonomických ale zejména z demografických důvodů neobejde bez cizinců. Výraznou úlohu zde přitom hrají pracovní migranti z Ukrajiny, jejichž vliv na českou ekonomickou, sociální i kulturní sféru je předmětem zkoumání. Tato diplomová práce se zabývá vývojem, ekonomickými, sociálními a právními aspekty a negativními i pozitivními dopady cirkulární migrace na Českou republiku.
