Citizenship of the European Union: rights of EU citizens and its impact on the legal order of the Czech Republic
Růžek, Lukáš ; Jeřábek, Martin (advisor) ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (referee)
This diploma thesis explores content, purpose and impact of citizenship of the European Union. The European Union is an international organization that affects day-to-day lives of citizens of its Member States. From the beginning of its existence, the European Union (formerly the European Community) has always taken into consideration the interests of its Member States. As it has accrued more power while widening and broadening its competencies, it has made it possible for the European Union to tackle new problems. Eventually, in order to reduce democratic deficit participation of individual citizens became inevitable for the purpose of creation of a genuine link between individuals and the European Union, which helps to ensure its proper governance. Although some rights linked with citizenship had been already incorporated into the law of the European Union, citizenship of the European Union was embedded into the primary law of the European Union by the Maastricht Treaty. Entering into force on 1 November 1993, this represented a milestone for the quality of the relationship between the European Union and citizens of its Member States. Citizenship of the European Union, which is a citizenship sui generis, is characterised by its accessority and additionality to the citizenship of a Member State....

Dubovan, Michal ; Balaš, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šturma, Pavel (referee)
The term "investor" in international investment agreements The aim of this thesis is to explain, compare and evaluate the meaning of investor as one of the key terms used in the area of international investment protection. From a systematic point of view, international investment activities are governed by international economic law, which is a sub-discipline of public international law. Foreign investment as a transfer of assets from one country to another in order to generate wealth is a kind of activity known and done since the era of colonialism or even before. The subjects carrying out these operations are called investors. However the framework of international investment protection as we know it today started out when the so called bilateral investment treaties (BITs) became commonly used to protect and promote international investing. These treaties entered into by states as sovereign members of the international community stipulated conditions to protect each other's investors in order to stimulate the flow of free capital over the borders. As mentioned before the term investor inter alia is a fundamental part of each international investment agreement. It specifies the range of subjects that are protected under such treaty and thus entitled to pursue their claims on international level in case of...

Pochmanová, Martina ; Kaleta, Petr (advisor) ; Tóth, Andrej (referee)
The bachelor thesis titled 'Students from Polish territories at "Vysoká škola obchodní" in the interwar period' makes an attempt to chart the presence of Polish students following aspects such as their nationality, place of birth, religion and citizenship. The thesis' research is based on archive materials from the Czech technical university, where repositories from the "Vysoká škola obchodní" were used. The thesis focuses on students who were either born in former Poland or had written evidence of polish nationality or citizenship at the University of Commerce. The repositories put to use are dating back to the academic years 1918 to 1938. During research, frequent changes of both Polish and Ukrainian names and surnames were noticed, and in some cases there were linguistic adaptations towards Polish language while in other cases towards Czech language. Evidence of respective nationality did not begin to show on records until 1925, when mostly due to geopolitical developments it became clear to what country the students belonged. An interesting chapter, accompanied by graphs, tackles the question of religion. Surveyed students from Halič were mostly Greek-Catholics, while the rest were either Catholics or Jews. Individuals from other religious groups, such as the Czech Brethren or Baptist Church...

Her own interests overlap with those of company. Managements of centers represent grey area whose discipline is less transparent despite of its significant influence on functioning of shared service centers. Key words gender, age, nationality, professionalism, shared service centers, shared services center, SSC, shared services, disciplinary mechanism

Rights of minorities in Czechoslovakia and their application
Černý, Jan ; Kuklík, Jan (advisor) ; Šouša, Jiří (referee)
Rights of national minorities in the Czechoslovak Republic and their application Abstract This thesis deals with the rights of national minorities in the Czechoslovak Republic. The introduction is devoted to a brief outline of the situation before the establishment of Czechoslovakia and also the situation just after its establishment and the adoption of a new state by minorities. The core of the work is the analysis of national regulation, especially the constitutional level and language law, as well as the analysis of international law, from which the national regulation was derived greatly. The thesis is also devoted to outlining the functioning of the international system for the protection of minorities within the League of Nations and its establishment. An important part for understanding the issue of the rights of national minorities is to compare their protection in several European countries that had the same international obligations to protect minorities as the Czechoslovak Republic, namely Hungary, Poland and Romania. The international system for the protection of minorities was the first such act in the field of international law and it was to some extent an experiment with a number of shortcomings, such as the recklessness of the management process at its inception or the fact that only some...
