Why is Israel not in the EU?
Houdek, Kryštof ; Bečka, Jan (advisor) ; Weiss, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis considers Israel's potential membership in the EU. The hypothesis is that the EU and Israel share a common interest in regards to Israeli membership. Yet, national states within the EU would block Israeli requests because of ideological bias. The first part of the thesis describes the attitudes of Israeli politicians and of the public in regard to entry to the EU. Then, I will illustrate the wide economic, security and research cooperation between the EU and Israel. The second part illustrates the attitudes of european politicians of all stripes. Lastly, I will describe the strategic interest of the EU on Israeli membership. The research question asks, simply, why Israel is not in the EU. The answer is divided into two parts. One part analyses legal documentation from the EU in order to prove that, on a legislative level, Israeli membership does not face any significant obstacles. The second part attempts to prove that in terms of national states there is an opposition strong enough to stop such an initiative. The work combines two theoretical approaches: liberalism and neorealism. Liberalism argues in favour of mutual cooperation. Neorealism explains why such cooperation has no chance of fulfilment. The research includes content and discourse analysis of statements made by...

The position of the governments of Gerhard Schröder on Turkey's accession to the European Union
Volfová, Barbora ; Handl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Kunštát, Miroslav (referee)
The following thesis deals with the pro-Turkish policy of red-green coalition in Germany during 1998-2005, which represented a turning point in German Turkish policy, because it did not follow the anti-Turkish policy of Helmut Kohl. Also today it represents an unique policy - nor the current Chancellor Angela Merkel initially followed it, whose image of Europe is incompatible with the membership of Turkey in the European Union. Based on an analysis of the most important debates held in the Bundestag under the red- green coalition government, where was discussed the Turkish question, the thesis tries to answer the question why the government of Gerhard Schroeder/Joseph Fischer supported Turkey's accession to the EU. It concludes that in the speech acts of individual government officials and MPs of the governing parties intermingled both strategic arguments and arguments corresponding with the classic postwar milieu shaping strategy that aims to influence the milieu beyond the borders of the national state. Strategic arguments gained in importance due to three international events that shook the world during the governments of Schroeder/Fischer and which tightened the active Turkish policy. It was the conflict in Kosovo, September 11, 2001 and the war in Iraq. However, these international events only...

The Czech political parties' statutes
Petráš, Ondřej ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Švec, Kamil (referee)
Bachelor thesis studies the subject matter of the Articles of three Czech political parties - Social democrats (ČSSD), Christian People's Party (KDU-ČSL) and Civic Democratic Party (ODS). It aims to describe in the most detailed way how Articles have evolved in twenty-five year period since the Velvet revolution until today. The paper focuses on membership in those parties, how it is established, how it can be canceled and what rights and duties are jointed with the membership. Thesis also describes party's bodies, their mutual relationships and powers they have towards the regular member (and conversely). Parties' inner democratic principles and their impact on parties' structure nor topics as membership fees aren't omitted. Research method chosen for the thesis is qualitative analysis of more than forty documents, some of which are older than twenty-five years. They have been archived by Ministry of the Interior of the Czech republic. Based on political science theories the author derives four hypotheses, which he subsequently verifies by studying law as a system of obligatory rules, which parties have to project into their Articles and organizational structure and parties'Articles themselves as formal prescriptive to obey.

Svatoš, Vítek ; Šíma, Jan (advisor) ; Pecinová, Markéta (referee)
Topic: Harmony Wellness Club clientele care Objectives: The primary objective of the thesis was to obtain feedback from clients concerning the running of the sports centre. On the basis of the clients' feedback, the club management representatives were provided with the data in order to identify themselves more closely with the clients' needs. The secondary objective was to propose motions that could, based on analysis, help the sports centre enhance provided service and raise the value of club membership. Methods: The method of written questioning in forms of printed questionnaire and personal questioning was used. The questionnaire was designed to show the club through the eyes of customers, and to find out about strengths and weaknesses in terms of club's running and personnel. The outcomes are demonstrated by means of charts and tables, which result in the interpretation summarizing the whole issue. Results: Clients of the club have not been systematically questioned yet, therefore the club management has not been getting the clients' feedback regarding the running of the club. All the changes up to now have been made on the basis of the club management assumptions. The research assesses the club from the clients' point of view.

Why is Israel still not a member of NATO?
Novotná, Jana ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Smetana, Michal (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the question of potential membership of Israel in NATO. It elaborates on the hypothesis that Israel is not interested in formal NATO membership, but rather in the broadening of mutual cooperation on a formal basis. The main goal of the thesis is to answer the research question: Why is Israel still not a member of NATO? The answer combines empirical analysis together with theoretical concept of national interest. Empirical sections examine broader context of mutual relations, investigates their interests in further cooperation and defines problems connected with official Israeli application for NATO membership. Theoretical sections examine Israeli national interest in NATO membership through realist and liberal perspective. Combination of empirical and theoretical research provides a wider context of the research question, why is Israel still not a member of NATO. My proposition is that Israeli membership in NATO face challenges on levels of NATO member states as well as on the level of Israeli political representatives. Furthermore, both entities perceive security through different lenses. Israel perceive its security rather through the realist lenses because it still faces basic security threats in its immediate neighborhood, whereas NATO member states already...
