Stanová, Zuzana ; Sršeň, Radim (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
Multi-speed European Union is a very up-to-date topic especially in terms of the finance and debt crisis, which deepened the differences between member states' economies. Multi-speed integration is one of the ways how to satisfy the claims of all member states, respect their different socioeconomic conditions and interests and at the same time not to disturb the integration process. The objective of this thesis is to introduce the concept of multi-speed integration from different theoretical points of view, to outline its historical development and assess its positive and negative impacts on the EU as a whole and on Slovakia. The analysis of impacts of the Economic and Monetary Union's multi-speed character on Slovakia is the key part of this thesis. These impacts on Slovakia are both positive and negative, but some of them cannot be categorized in general. In the aggregate the positive impacts prevail.

Danish immigration policy and its current changes: inner and outer influences
Vokáčová, Kateřina ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
This thesis deals with aspects of Danish immigration and Danish immigration policy. It aims to investigate which influences were the most significant in forming the present restrictive course of Danish immigration policy. In order to fulfill the aim of this thesis, changes made in immigration policy since the 1970's until today are analyzed and subsequently those events concerning both the national territory and the rest of the world which have most likely influenced its current course have been selected. This research resulted in the discovery that both external influences, such as terrorist attacks, European integration or cartoon controversy, and internal occurrences, such as the influence of the Danish People's Party, the media and the atmosphere in society, played their part. Though a small country, Denmark attracts immigrants due to the fact that there is a generous state welfare system and a high level of economic and social development. Until the Second World War, the flow of immigrants had been moderate and they mainly came from European countries. The current scenario has changed dramatically since then and in the course of the last forty years, the Danish population has increased by up to half a million people. Moreover, two thirds of the today's immigrants come from non-western countries which remains a serious challenge for Danish immigration society and policy.
