Hrazdira, Tomáš ; Szobi, Pavel (advisor) ; Stellner, František (referee)
In the thesis I will focus on the development of the economic situation of Russia and its foreign trade relations in the late twenties of the 20 century and changes in connection with the Stalin's rise to power. I focus on Stalin's personality, and I will try to prove that his actions in the mentioned period were not the result of mental illness, but personal power interests. I will also pay attention to trade relations with Germany in comparison with other European countries. Emphasis will be placed on the standard of living of the population and the associated transformation of Russia into a world power. I will use monographs, articles and sub-study of Czech and foreign origin, as well as published sources, for processing of the topic. From unpublished sources, I will focus on the study of documents in the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic and the National Archives in Prague.

Effects of unemployment on family life
ŘÍHOVÁ, Terézia
This thesis deals with effects of unemployment of a family member on the family standard of living. The main objective of this study was to comprehensively describe life of a purposefully selected sample of the long-term unemployed and their families. One sub-objective was to describe the extent to which the long-term job loss of an individual affects the way of family life. Another sub-objective was to determine if the unemployed individual is given his/her family support, both economic and psychological. The lives of the unemployed and their families were described through case studies. This thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part of my thesis is devoted to the issue of unemployment, at-risk groups in the labor market, the impact of unemployment on individuals and possibilities to help the unemployed. Another part of the thesis deals with the family characteristics and the impact of unemployment on the family from all aspects of life. The practical part of the thesis involves the thesis objectives, the research methodology and practical outcomes. After the necessary data collection the research was conducted through an interrogation method by the technique of narrative interview. The research sample consisted of six respondents who are registered at the Office of Labour in České Budějovice. The respondents were long-term unemployed men and women over the age of 50 years and long-term unemployed men and women who are parents of children in the preschool and school age. As proved by the research, the long-term loss of a family member job brings about the decline in family income, which leads to a change in the lifestyle and the consequent reduction in living standards. Families of the unemployed, due to their situation, have to re-evaluate their scale of values and think of alternatives to lifestyle. This brings a change to their daily routine, they have to give up some of their hobbies and restrict social contacts. In most cases, however, the family solidarity helps in both mental and economic aspects. The research outcomes may be used as a basis for future researches in this field and further information on the problems of unemployment and its impact on the family can be obtained. This information could be helpful to Offices of Labour for individual work with the unemployed.

Impacts of drug trade in select states of Latin America
Kmetíková, Nina ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Lipka, David (referee)
In the introduction of my thesis, devoted to the drug trade in select states of Latin America, I will address the topic of cocaine and its history. This is important for understanding the significance of the drug in the world, and -- especially in Latin America -- for comprehending that in these countries cocaine has such a strong tradition that attempts to prevent the cultivation of coca and subsequent trade with the drug will probably never succeed. I will further examine the economic and social situations in countries of Latin America and emphasize the fact that people there often have no other alternative than to engage in criminal activities, again for the most part related to cocaine. I will evaluate anti-drug policies in select Latin American countries and their effectiveness -- or rather ineffectiveness -- and conversely attempt to describe how great an influence the narco-mafia has on the economics and politics of given states and on their representatives. I intend to focus my thesis primarily on three Latin American states: Colombia, as the largest supplier of cocaine; Mexico, which is the primary transit country, through which drugs travel from Colombia to the United States, and Brazil, where children's gangs connected with drugs form.
