The political role of FC Barcelona in modern Catalonia
Vondruška, Tomáš ; Menclová, Barbora (advisor) ; Mejstřík, Martin (referee)
This bachelor's degree thesis deals with the political role of FC Barcelona in modern Catalonia a its reaction to the 2017 independence referendum. The timeline of the work is from the year 2012 till 2017. The main data is gathered from the club's online media and other international media. The beginning chapters consist of nationalism and nationalism in sport and then its connection to football. It is followed by a quick political review of Catalonia in the analysed years and the relationship between FC Barcelona and Catalonia throughout history. The thesis focuses on relation between an apolitical subject such as a football club and a stateless region and its role in the independence fight. The result is that the club stands in a neutral position towards politics, but it works with many other organisations with the aim of spreading the Catalan culture and overall situation worldwide. The fans of the club with their nationalistic flags also spread the fight with the help of televised matches. FC Barcelona supported the referendum but without favouring any side. This neutral stance towards politics is described only as a defence of democracy and the freedom of speech. These are the values the club showed throughout its history and now swears to continue in the same way.
Implications, causes and possible reform of the current financial crisis by the Postkeynesian and Austrian view
Vondruška, Tomáš ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Chytil, Zdeněk (referee)
This diploma thesis is trying to describe implications of current financial crisis by the Postkeynesian and Austrian view. The introduction section focuses on course of events in the United States of America after the September 11 attacks on World Trade Center till outbreak of mortgage crisis in 2007. After 9/11 the Federal Reserve System started to unprecedentedly increase the money supply. Large amount of these new resources flowed to the real estate market. Incurred conditions and implications to other financial sectors till the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 are thoroughly studied. The causes of the crisis are being looked through the Postkeynesian and Austrian perspective in this thesis, because the major representatives of these two economic branches were able to predict the crisis coming. By using the works of the Postkeynesian and Austrian economists, possible solutions how to avoid this negative economic event in the future are being mentioned in the final part of this diploma thesis. Their suggestions and proposals contrast each other. Nevertheless I reach certain recommendation here, which shows government's interventions are inappropriate and functionless. These interventions have also harmful influence on the free-market economy function. Moreover they tend to deepen recessions. These arguments are being demonstrated on real cases.
The benefits and the costs of the common European currency and the following analysis of the current situation of the European Monetary Union
Vondruška, Tomáš ; Dlouhý, Vladimír (advisor) ; Kadeřábková, Klára (referee)
The topic of my bachelor's work is the benefits and the costs of the common European currency and the following analysis of the current situation of the European Monetary Union. The first part deals with possible benefits and costs which are brought about by introduction of the common currency. In the second part I am trying to analyze whether the European Union meets expectations for optimum currency areas and whether the benefits from introduction of the common currency exceed its costs. At the end of this part I evaluate current economic development of Eurozone and several West-European countries which have not accepted the euro. I apply two basic economic aggregates inflation and GDP. The aim of this work is to point out possible benefits but also costs as a result of forming a monetary union. I would like also to outline whether the European Monetary Union has optimum currency area characteristics.
