The Opposition Agreement - Conditions, Forms and Consequences of Party Patronage in the Czech Republic
Zběžková, Tereza ; Müller, Karel (advisor) ; Vymětal, Petr (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of party patronage in the Czech Republic, specifically in the context of the so-called opposition agreement, i.e. the CSSD minority government in the years 1998-2002. Patronage is a concept that has recently been given to the forefront of scientific research. An important part of this thesis is to identify the different concepts of party patronage and to specify the context of clientelism and corruption. Political order as it was designed by the opposition agreement has been subject of many discussions and conformed to cartel party system, the thesis analyzes significant events of this period on the background of the cartel party theory and draws conclusions about the application of this theory in the Czech Republic. The period of the opposition agreement is still remembered in the context of expansion of corruption and clientelistic ties and practices, the thesis is trying to question this relationship and suggest other possible tendencies that can contribute to the extent of these practices in Czech politics. In addition to corruption and clientelism, special attention is paid to the form of party patronage. The first part defines the theoretical concepts, clientelism, corruption, patronage and the cartel party theory. The next section introduces the opposition agreement, the circumstances of its creation and is followed by the application of the theory of cartel parties on the political organization of that period. The last part presents the form of party patronage in the Czech Republic, focusing on the context of the opposition agreement and persistent tendencies.

Financing of political parties and party patronage in Czech Republic
Novotný, Petr ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Němec, Jan (referee)
This thesis proceeds with my bachelor's thesis Financing of Political Parties in Czech Republic. Party patronage is additional field of study of how political parties work in real life. We can analyze different factors while studying party patronage such as the overlap or intrusion of political parties in state administration, the way how patronage is practised and it's criteria, similarly to studying the way how party financing influences for example electoral outcomes. I will point out main theoretical approach to this relatively new field of studies and its methological foundations. I will devote a seprate chapter to a non-existing Law on Public Service and see whether this should be enacted or not.

Foreigners on the Czech labour market (example of the Ukrainian circular migration)
Popovová, Marie ; Lupták, Milan (advisor) ; Němec, Otakar (referee)
Cirkulární migrace představuje nový celosvětový fenomén, který rozvíjí princip dvojí výhry ? tedy zisk pro zdrojovou i hostitelskou zemi pracovní migrace. Pracovní migrace je dnes častým projevem na českém trhu práce, který se v budoucnu z ekonomických ale zejména z demografických důvodů neobejde bez cizinců. Výraznou úlohu zde přitom hrají pracovní migranti z Ukrajiny, jejichž vliv na českou ekonomickou, sociální i kulturní sféru je předmětem zkoumání. Tato diplomová práce se zabývá vývojem, ekonomickými, sociálními a právními aspekty a negativními i pozitivními dopady cirkulární migrace na Českou republiku.

Vliv kultury na politiku Mexika
Burešová, Alena ; Janoušková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Doležal, Tomáš (referee)
Tato práce zkoumá vzájemné vazby mezi kulturou, společenskými normami a principy, sociální diversifikací a politikou Mexika. Jejím hlavním cílem je určení, do jaké míry se latinskoamerická kultura promítá do politického vývoje Mexika. Při charakteristice mexické kultury vychází z výzkumů Geerta Hofstedeho a jeho kulturních dimenzí. Odpovídá na otázku, co vedlo k tomu, že politický vývoj Mexika byl zcela odlišný od vývoje ostatních zemí latinskoamerické kultury. Analyzuje kulturní podmíňenost faktorů, které zapřičinily to, že Mexiku vládla po sedm desetiletí jediná politická strana ? Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), aniž by se jednalo o diktaturu. Dochází k závěru, že tato nevídaná stabilita není v rozporu s kulturními dimenzemi, ale že PRI dokázala vhodně využít kulturně daný charakter mexické společnosti, vyznačující se vysokou mírou sociální diversifikace. Vytvořila specifický politický systém, v dané kultuře fungující. K jeho změně pak docházelo postupně, s tím jak se proměňoval charakter mexické společnosti. V souvislosti s dynamickým vývojem mexické společnosti následně předpovídá změny kulturních dimenzí.
