Contemporary Perspectives of International Organisations on the Concept of Lifelong Learning - A Comparison of UNESCO and OECD
Moss, Linda ; Kopecký, Martin (advisor) ; Frič, Pavol (referee)
This diploma thesis presents the concept of lifelong learning as an ambitious political project born in the field of international organisations at the beginning of the 1970s which now reaches far beyond the borders of national states and education policy. The sphere of education still remains the responsibility of national governments, however, even here strong globalising tendencies have occurred since the 1990s, as a result of which the national policy is more and more being influenced by supranational institutions. Although the concept of lifelong learning now serves as a common framework, it has been interpreted differently during its evolution and a consensus on what it exactly means and how it should be put into practice still does not exist. Based on analysis of key documents, this thesis aims to compare the view of lifelong learning held by the international organisation UNESCO with that of OECD, as two distinctive perspectives on this issue. The comparison draws on Rubenson's model (2004), which examines lifelong learning through three key categories representing the main actors of social life - the state, the market and civil society.

The Politics of the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity Inscriptions
Krestová, Kateřina ; Parízek, Michal (advisor) ; Plechanovová, Běla (referee)
The paper deals with a rate between sites inscribed in the World Heritage List and the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. In former studies the imbalance was proven and it also showed an influence of unofficial factors to nomination process. The imbalance was discovered within a meaning of raised quantity of traditional European sites coming from the economically more developed countries. UNESCO officially make a long- term effort to compensate this discrimination in favour for unheeded states and types of heritage (especially the intangible). In order to verify the compensatory effect, I collected the data about every site inscribed in the World Heritage List between 1979-2016 and 2008-2015 in Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, from what I made a regression analysis considering GDP and GDP per capita. The result showed the declared compensatory effect doesn't work, a tendency of more successful nominations from wealthier states continues, the trend of higher probability of sites inscription from states which already have some sites inscribed was confirmed.
