This final bachelor thesis deals with the topic of information as a tool of public policy in the context of informing families with dependent children about selected state social assistance benefits and assistance in material need. The issue was examined in the context of the extraordinary economic situation in the Czech Republic from 2020 to 2023, which had negative impacts on the financial situation of families with dependent children.

Amoako, Martha ; Potůček, Martin (advisor) ; Dlouhý, Martin (referee) ; Mpinga, Emmanuel Kabengele (referee)
Zásady udržitelného rozvoje vyžadují silný zdravotnický sektor řešící problémy v oblasti dětského zdraví, a to zejména v rozvojových zemích jako Ghana. Snahu vybudovat silné zdravotnictví nicméně může zmařit výskyt malárie, což je právě případ Ghany. Malárie zůstává v Ghaně významnou příčinou úmrtí dětí mladších pěti let, a to navzdory různorodým globálním i národním zdravotnickým programům a politikám. Tato studie se soustředí na implikace politik, aktérů a veřejných institucí v boji proti malárii mezi dětmi mladšími pěti let ve čtyřech okresech země: obec Obuasi, okres Mpohor, Východní okres Kassena-Nankana a Západní okres Ada. Studie zpracovává primární a sekundární data metodou deskriptivní i empirické analýzy. V rámci studie byly připraveny dotazníky a provedeny rozhovory s 241 respondenty z řad individuálních i institucionálních aktérů s cílem sběru podrobných informací o formulaci politik, aktérských interakcích a výsledcích léčby malárie ve skupině dětí mladších pěti let v kontextu případových studií z různých administrativních oblastí. Tyto oblasti vykazují různá sociální, ekonomická a politická prostředí, která jsou pro posouzení výsledků zdravotnických programů v oblasti boje proti malárii zásadní. Výsledky regrese sekundárních dat metodou nejmenších čtverců (OLS), která byla v rámci...

Comparison of the effects of marijuana legalization on mental health in selected countries
Stránecký, Jakub ; Nekola, Martin (advisor) ; Potůček, Martin (referee)
The topic of legalizing marijuana for recreational use is becoming increasingly relevant over time, not only worldwide but also in the Czech Republic. This trend began with the legalization of recreational marijuana in the United States, specifically in the states of Colorado and Washington in 2012. Subsequently in 2013 Uruguay became the first country to legalize marijuana throughout its entire territory. Since then, other U.S. states and countries such as Canada and Malta have joined the legalization movement. The most interesting development from the perspective of the Czech Republic is in Germany, where the legalization of cultivation and possession of marijuana for recreational use is planned from the year 2024. This, coupled with the growing support from experts and politicians advocating for marijuana legalization in the Czech Republic, could lead to the adoption of similar legislation. The legalization of marijuana raises a series of questions that need to be addressed before such a step is taken. Among the most common concerns associated with marijuana legalization are its impact on mental health and the potential increase in marijuana use among adolescents due to easier access to the drug. To answer these questions, it is essential to compare existing models of marijuana legalization...

Politicization - Issue of State Governance
Čermák, Michal ; Kohoutek, Jan (advisor) ; Potůček, Martin (referee)
Téma: Politizace jako problém státní správy Autor: Michal Čermák Vedoucí práce: Mgr. Jan Kohoutek Ph.D. Fakulta sociálních věd - institut sociologických studií - Katedra veřejné a sociální politiky Abstract The bachelor thesis deals with the problem of politicization of the Czech state administration. This problem is quite widely used in the media space, especially after every parliamentary election. However, nowhere is there precise data and description of how extensive this phenomenon is within the Czech state administration. This is mainly due to the unavailability of data directly from the Czech state administration. Due to the aforementioned unavailability of data, I decided to conduct qualitative research through interviews in this thesis. The interviewees were both experts in the field of public administration and politicization, and representatives of the largest political entities. By combining the opinions of experts and politicians, whose attitude towards politicization has not been mapped so far, I tried to get a new perspective on the issue of politicization and at the same time information from the practical functioning of public administration, to which politicians are close. Overall, the results suggest that the Czech civil service is not in as catastrophic a state as is sometimes presented...

The aim is to find out what model of institutional arrangement and governance of this public policy is considered appropriate by the addressed representatives of actors and experts and what arguments they use to legitimise this view and the chosen governance model. In terms of theoretical anchoring, the thesis relies on the theory of legitimacy focusing on the public policy environment and the concept of institutional field defining in the field of public policy governance the relations and interactions of a higher number of actors involved in decision-making on a certain issue. The analytical part of the thesis is based mainly on the implementation of an expert investigation using the Delphi method, preceded by an expert double interview to identify the main issues to be addressed in the current system of science and research policy in the Czech Republic.
