Liberal Critique and Reforms of Welfare State - The Case of Chile's Pension Reform
Žídek, Bohumír ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Potůček, Martin (referee)
My master thesis explores classical liberal attitudes towards the Welfare State. It deals especially with concepts developed by the so-called new classical liberals (also called neoclassical liberals) represented by scholars of the Arizona School. I use their ideas to reconstruct free-market liberal theory of social justice, which is then applied to pension reforms in Chile and Sweden. The thesis also recollects critiques of public pension systems by public choice theory scholars, which are then used to explore a nature of the aforementioned pension reforms. In cases of both reforms, these theoretical frameworks are used to evaluate data obtained by a desk research. Relevant documents and also data of international organizations and national statistical offices were used. In its last part, the thesis evaluates primary data obtained by semi-standardized interviews with seven Czech classical liberals and explores their attitudes towards both the free market liberal theory of social justice and pension reforms in Chile and in Sweden.

Attitudes of the Czech Political Parties with Respect to Public Job
Šlechtová, Markéta ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Novotný, Vilém (referee)
1 Due to the high public expenses connected with the classic welfare and other reasons, the European countries including the Czech Republic adopted certain measures falling within the workfare concept. One of them is the public service, which is construed as a help activity in favour of a municipality consisting in publicly beneficial services. The public service rule was enacted into Czech law in 2008 and has undergone several changes since that time. These changes resulted in the current legislation which became effective on 1 February 2017. According to the Advocacy Coalition Framework, it is possible within a policy subsystem to identify certain beliefs of the policy actors and their advocacy coalitions. This bachelor thesis aims to identify the beliefs of the political parties within the policy subsystem of public service in the Czech Republic with the focus on the policy core beliefs and to determine their advocacy coalitions in this subsystem.
