Petráňová, Zuzana ; Šauer, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Matějka, Zdeněk (referee)
When debt crisis fully started in the Eurozone, the attention was concentrated not only on states of southern Europe in debt, but also on Germany. If we consider that Germany is the biggest economy in Europe and its policy is tightly connected with EU, the decisions of the German government are important in the process of European integration. The thesis talks about actual role of Germany in today's crisis of the Eurozone. Because of the size of the problem the thesis is concentrated on last three years and it is focused on key events, whit caused the biggest discussion. The goal of the research is to find out which role Germany plays within EU and if it becomes or has already become a regional hegemony. In the analysis was partly used the role theory and also neomramscianism, that works with the hegemony concept. Results of the research shows that Germany becomes more self confident player. Player which today leaves the strategy of restraint and takes the role of a regional leader. The question of hegemony stays open, even though Germany refuses to identify itself with this role.

Petráňová, Zuzana ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Cibulková, Petra (referee)
Even nowadays, many key negotiations between the Czech Republic and Germany are being complicated by the two possible perspectives on the interpretation of certain moments in common history and of several legal acts. This paper will try to focus on the developement of relations between the Czech Republic and Germany from the ratification of the Czech-German declaration in 1997 to the year 2007. Closer attention will be paid to an analysis of the developement of the relations after five and ten years. Because of the size of the issue I will specifically concentrate on the analysis of the media discursus of the "Hospodářské noviny" journal and the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" journal. The goal of this resarch is to find out how did the relationships change in the ten year period from the ratification of the Czech-German declaration and if the problems came to an end. The analysis shows that the declaration didn't lead directly to overcoming the problems. The difficulties of the past are still emerging from time to time. From this we can anticipate their continuous reappearances even in the future and assume that it will take a long time for the situation to become absolutely calm.
