Energy security of the EU
Kleinbauer, Jan ; Urban, Luděk (advisor) ; Šlajs, Jan (referee)
Shortening supply of strategic raw materials (mostly oil and gas) and increasing demand for these energy raw materials in fast-growing Asian economies caused EU to put energy security among its top interests. The key goal of this thesis is to propose possibilities to increase energy security of the EU so that Europe has continuous and stable energy supplies both from its own sources and from import. I will analyze the current state of EU energy security in the first part of the thesis. I will focus on using EU's own resources and assess the benefits and drawbacks of using renewable energy sources compared to traditional sources. Then I will analyze dependency of EU on energy import and describe particularities and risks of current suppliers. The second part of the thesis will be focused on increasing energy security of the EU. Could the common energetic policy strengthen the energy security? I will also focus on possibilities of supplier and energy sources diversification. Last but not least, I will examine the topic of energetic savings and its impact on energy security.

Violence in the Italian narrative literature of the 1990s
Lergetporer, Helena ; Flemrová, Alice (advisor) ; Pelán, Jiří (referee) ; Špička, Jiří (referee)
In the italian narrative of the 1990s violence appears frequently as echo of an intemational current, but also in form of a specific national trend. At the beginning of the decade the political and social situation in Italy had changed due to the fall of communism in Eastem Europe, the Tangentopoli corruption scandal, the fall of the First Republic and terrific conf1icts between the italian state and mafia. In addition we have to consider the culminating globalisation, technology and consumer process. All this strongly inf1uenced the actual violence perception in the period of the 1990s, which ends in our point of view with the terror attacks on the USA in 2001.
