The Paris Agreement: major emitters from the two-level game perspective
Janoušková, Johana ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Parízek, Michal (referee)
In December 2015, the COP 21 adopted the Paris Agreement, which aims to address the global problem of climate change. The global climate change regime has virtually oscillated between the top-down multilaterally decided formulaic arrangements and the bottom-up nationally-determined approach. The Agreement partially prevailed over the longstanding preference for bottom-up deals and was initially ratified by the "Big Four" of world's emitters: the United States, the European Union, China and India. The purpose of this thesis was therefore twofold: (1) to determine the extent to which the Paris Agreement has adopted elements that were top-down in nature, and (2) conclude whether the regime's strengthening can be explained based on the two posed hypotheses. The former was addressed by proposing a coding scheme that applied a set of indicators obtained through academic literature review. The latter was guided by the two-level game theory authored by Robert D. Putnam. The first hypothesis anticipated an overlap of negotiation positions of the largest emitters concerning the top-down elements eventually adopted in the Paris Agreement. The second hypothesis assumed these negotiation positions were compatible with the respective domestic preferences related to climate policies and cooperation. Identified Level I...

Executive privilege in the U.S. political system
Janoušková, Johana ; Kotábová, Věra (advisor) ; Labendz, Jacob Ari (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the privilege of the President of the United States to withhold information from the Congress and ultimately the public, known as the executive privilege. The main theoretical approaches used are the unitary executive theory and also the model of imperial presidency by Arthur M. Schlesinger, which deals with governmental secrecy. The mechanism through which this executive privilege is applied is shown on two case studies. First analysed case is George W. Bush's claim of executive privilege in 2008 concerning the Environmental Protection Agency's decision not to grant California a waiver allowing the state to impose stricter vehicle emissions standards than required by the federal law. Second analyzed claim is the one made by Barack Obama in 2012 following the congressional investigation of executive officials involved in operation Fast and Furious. The thesis also includes the Watergate scandal which led to President Richard Nixon's resignation and became formative for the future perception of the privilege. Since the executive privilege is not mentioned in the United States Constitution, the thesis describes mechanisms of checks and balances that are able to limit the privilege and to what degree. Schlesinger's theory also focuses on the so-called "religion of secrecy" and...
