Dismay or delight on the neighbour's side? The typology of neighbouring countries' reactions to the first nuclear tests conducted
Sasová, Kateřina ; Ludvík, Jan (advisor) ; Bříza, Vlastislav (referee)
This Master thesis compares the reactions of the neighbouring countries to first nuclear tests carried out by their neighbour. It deals with first nuclear tests of eight countries (USA, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan and North Korea) and with the reactions of states that are or were at the time of the first nuclear test neighbours of concerned country. In the end, forty-seven reactions of neighbouring countries were examined in this thesis. The author relies to a large extent on qualitative research when she compares individual reactions of the countries and creates eight case studies, each focused on one nuclear state. The main output of this thesis is a clear and well-arranged typology of countries' reactions to the first nuclear test carried out in the state right across their borders. The types of reactions that have been identified in this thesis vary all the way from active support and passive coming to terms with the situations, through neutral reaction all the way to passive disapproval and active rejection. This typology can then in the future contribute to a better predictability of the neighbours' reactions and therefore also to a better assessment of how such event might affect the stability of the region.

Immigration policy and integration of immigrants in Norway
Sasová, Kateřina ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Kaleta, Ondřej (referee)
This Bachelor Thesis deals with the immigration policy and integration of immigrants in Norway. The main aim is to compare Norwegian approach with the other two Scandinavian countries, Denmark and Sweden. In the context it describes as well what reason the migrants have to settle down in Norway and the author also supports these reasons with the theoretical approaches explaining migration. The other important thing is how open Norwegian society is in the sense of immigration since at least partially open society is important to the migrants if they are supposed to integrate successfully in the country. While comparing the Scandinavian region the author comes to a conclusion that Norway indeed does stand somewhere in the middle between relatively restrictive Denmark and on the other hand quite liberal Sweden, at least in some of the aspects. The author relies to a large extent on statistical methods and the data from Swedish, Danish and Norwegian statistical offices. The comparison of Scandinavian countries is however also carried out on qualitative basis as immigration policies are compared with special emphasis on the process of naturalization that can very well demonstrate Norwegian position "in the middle".
