Bednárová, Ľudmila ; Černá, Iveta (advisor) ; Taušer, Josef (referee)
Disintegration of colonial system during the period of 1960s enabled the emergence of a group of developing countries, that broke out from political addiction and started independent operation. In the region of African countries the decolonisation was rounded out in the 1960 when the first african regional integrations were established. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the development of African regionalism (its chosen aspects), as well as other coherent agreements of cooperation. The thesis focuses on the answers to ulterior questions: Is it possible for Africa to get over huge economic and social backwardness? How did the African regionalism develop in substantially different parts of this continent? What are the results of economic cooperation between EU and Africa? The first chapter explains general social, cultural and political background of regionalism in Africa. The second chapter outlines the evolution of relations among the states of Africa and EU, examined on the basis of small steps in signing the agreements. The third chapter deals with the effectual formation of regionalism in Africa. The fourth chapter demonstrates the differences in approaches to regional integration in different parts of African region. This part compares two regional integrations and EU's attitude towards cooperation with them. The final chapter proposes the possible solutions of the most burning problems in Africa, through the conjoint process or with the help of the developed countries.

The simulation model of the population growth
Urbanová, Kateřina ; Kuncová, Martina (advisor) ; Fiala, Tomáš (referee)
In this thesis, called a simulation model of population growth, there was created the simulation model of a population growth in the Czech Republic to the year 2052. First there was constructed the projection through the component method used in demography. Deterministic values obtained by this method are then used in the simulation analysis. In the simulation analysis there was conducted an experiment with three variables which influence the population growth (the fertility, life expectancy/the coefficient of the decline of the probability of the death/ and the migration balance). With the support of the Crystal Ball, supporting program for Excel, which provides the possibility of the simulations, there was determined the stochastic character of the three variables. There are created the low, medium and high variant of the projections, as well as three other possible variants of population growth that might occur. These variations are called economic crisis, friendly migration policy and restrictive migration policy.

Cultural and Business Specialities of Canada
Redžič, Alen ; Gullová, Soňa (advisor) ; Laschoberová, Libuše (referee)
I have selected cultural and business specialities in Canada as a objective in my work. In these days it is really necessary to know witch cultural and business dissimilarities can we meet during business negotiation. It is my hope that my work will provide aggregate information about Canadian culture and will attract more interested person. For instance: business representatives, when they want to know about the country they want to do business with, correspondence departments they have to maintain the relationship with Canadian business partners, students they want to go to Canada for holiday or at last tourists they are going to visit the country of maple leaf on their journey. In the prologue I have tried to set the goal and the structure of my work. In first and second chapter I pay attention for territorial characteristics, economic situation and foreign trade. I also have taken down a legal framework of Canada. I found out that there is huge difference among Canadian provinces. Where some business tactics will be kindly accepted as a professional, in other province can this behaviour be taken as a lack of interest or dispassionate. Third chapter provides intercultural characteristics. On models of two well known anthropologists I have tried to explain Canadian behaviour- their ways of thinking, ways of acting and why are they different from their neighbours from US. Fourth and fifth chapter deals with cultural and business dissimilarities in Canada. I have explained why is Canadian culture of business so special from other cultures. Language issue, social values or inclination to recycle and other problematic has been mentioned. The conclusion of my work has shown if I succeeded in my goals that I set in prologue. I am aware, that this topic is so extensive that I was not able to cover all of it but I hope that I have provided many useful information and knowledge about this so various region.

Simulation models of pension insurance due to demographic development in the CR
Pudil, Lubomír ; Kuncová, Martina (advisor) ; Vopátek, Jiří (referee)
The issue of an aging population, pension systems and pension themselves, are currently very actual, interesting and socially topics discussed. In my diploma thesis on simulation models of pension insurance due to demographic development in the CR I used simulation experiments, including those based primarily on the Monte Carlo method, tackling issues and negatives surrounding pension insurance with state contribution, which, as one of the financial products market, is the second pillar of pension system in the Czech Republic. Pension scheme of pension insurekce with state contibution gives participants the advantages and benefits in the form of state subsidy, the possibility of reducing the income tax base on the part of the contributions paid, proceeds from fund management and the possibility of contributions from the employer. On the other hand, play an important role, weaknesses and shortcomings of this system. Again, the most important may be considered inseparateness fund's assets from an estate participants, inappropriately designed state contribution, the high average age of participants and relatively low rate of return on fund management. Negatives mentioned above were reflected in the simulation experiments, when the linear state contribution was designed and was considered for the new system of pension saving in combination with a linear state contribution, which appears to be a more appropriate and beneficial for both participants on the one hand, and the state (impact on public spendings) on the other.

Urbařová, Veronika ; Taušer, Josef (advisor) ; Černá, Iveta (referee)
The aim of this work is the determination of the causes why the Eastern German economy is, in comparison with the Western Germany, on the lower level in spite of milliard grants, what are the causes of mass unemployment and whether the contemporary condition follows the resolutions of the year 1990. The first part of my work deals with the negotiations about creation of the united Germany and about consequent results, primarily those of economic, social and financial union. I mention briefly the role of the EG in the whole process. In the second chapter I describe the state of economy of the former DDR and the after-unification measures that where drawn to improve the situation. Then I deal with the phenomenon of ostalgy and with detailed economic development from the 1990s until today. In the final part of this part I introduce the reader with the German way of privatization helped by the Treuhandanstalt privatization agency. In the third chapter I deal individually with the areas where the East is behind the West -- structural insufficiencies, questionable innovative industry, low intensity of establishing of new companies and low inflow of investments, demographic progression, unemployment, salary conditions and indebtedness. In the fourth chapter I compare the New Länder with other problematic regions in Europe and with the countries of CEE. In the fifth chapter the differences among individual Länder are introduced by the macro-economic data. The sixth chapter deals with the questions about transfer payments that flow from the West to the East, and finally the seventh chapter which introduces the perspectives to the future and suggests the alternatives for improvement of contemporary condition and for establishing a new direction.

The development of the export support policy in the Czech republic since 1993
Strakošová, Lada ; Kalínská, Emílie (advisor) ; Lukáš, Zdeněk (referee)
This thesis is focused on the development of the support of exports in the Czech republic. The Czech republic is a relatively small country which means it needs international trade to be able to satisfy domestic demand because of the lack of resources. In the early 90's the Czech republic was a transforming economy with no measures of export support. Because the czech exporters needed the public support to succeed on foreign markets, all the financial and non-financial measures of the export support had to be implemented from the beginning. To support the export, the country concluded contracts about trade liberalisation, provided information and assistance services for exporters and provided also financial and insurance services with the state assistance. The thesis is divided into several parts according to the periods of implementation of the export support. In the first two periods till 2002 there was not a unified system of providing the export support, the state institutions did not cooperate enough and the whole support system has been developing till the present. Since 2003 the Czech republic has had a conception of the export support that stipulates conditions of functioning of the export support system and it includes the ways how to improve this system.
