Analysis of the Influence of Presence of Natural Resources on Civil Wars in Sub-Saharan Africa
Sniehotta, Michal ; Buben, Radek (advisor) ; Drahokoupil, Štěpán (referee)
The thesis analyzes the issue of the influence of presence of natural resources on civil wars in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its purpose is to analyze in detail the possible consequences of natural resources on these conflicts in the area in question. The thesis comprises three main parts. The first theoretical part starts with the introduction of the main theoretical concepts (the "theory" of the curse of natural resources and the concept of a rentier state), which presume the existence of a causal relation between the occurrence of natural resources and negative, mainly development-related, consequences in countries that are dependent on them. Subsequently it described selected economic, social, and institutional undesirable phenomena associated with the presence of natural resources. Professional literature, for instance, often mentions the possible connection between primary commodities and civil wars. In this respect the initial part of the thesis is concluded with a presentation of theoretical explanations of the relation between these two variables. It presents expert views of natural resources as a possible cause of civil wars, potential source of finances, and a factor influencing the duration, the way of waging, and other features of civil wars. It also includes an analysis of the influence of...

Sniehotta, Michal ; Horáček, Vít (advisor) ; Horáček, Tomáš (referee)
1 The Liquidator in the Process of Liquidation of a Company Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the issue of general legal regulation of liquidation of a company, above all with a focus on the liquidator's legal status and his particular actions within the liquidation process. The thesis follows a hypothesis that the analyzed legal regulation of liquidation of a business company embedded in the Commercial Code is good and well-elaborate. The objective of the thesis is to critically test thus formulated hypothesis on the basis of comprehensive delimitation, analysis and evaluation of qualities of general liquidation rules. Attention is focused mainly on legal issues related to the actual liquidator's position, for instance on the issue of qualification for the function of a liquidator or the issue of appointment and dismissal of a liquidator by the court. The study builds chiefly on the method of description and critical analysis of relevant legal provisions and secondary sources. The obtained theoretical knowledge is then generalized into more general conclusions using a synthetic method. Aside from the introduction the actual thesis comprises four chapters, out of which the first three in particular are rather theoretical, whereas the fourth chapter provides a more practical view of description of the...
