Kašpar, Mirko ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (advisor) ; Kasáková, Zuzana (referee)
Master thesis "The First and Second Referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon in Ireland" is a comparative case study, which - using the concept of europeanization - analyses causes, which led to the opinion shift of Irish citizens on the Treaty of Lisbon between years 2008 and 2009. Whereas during the first poll in June 2008 Irish rejected the Treaty, 16 months later it was accepted by an expressive majority, when almost half a million people more voted for it. The thesis clarifies, which elements caused a totally different course and result, explores opinions of individual players such as political parties, government, trade unions, associations of interest or significant companies, observes course of the campaign before the referendum, summarizes and analyses outcomes and subsequent reactions both on national and Union level. From the discovered facts the thesis concludes, that behind the change of attitude of the Irish stood especially external effects. On one side pressure of the other member states of the Union and even the EU as a whole to finalize the process of institutional reform and also explicit refusal of repeating the scenario from 2005, when ratification of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe was terminated after disagreement of France and the Netherlands. On the other side acceptance...

The author will attempt to outline the basic requirements of the European Union on the field of internal security imposed on states seeking membership. These demands, requirements and criteria for EU membership will be compare in the specific case of the regions with high proportion of the Albanian population to the current internal security situation in Montenegro and Serbia, with emphasis on the dynamics of development especially in the last approximately 12 years. Security issues will be discussed broadly in keeping with the Copenhagen School. That is in its broader form the so-called hard security to societal security. On the example of the regions with high proportion of the Albanian population in Serbia and Montenegro in the above-mentioned internal security issues I will try to verify and critically evaluate the basic axioms of the general concept of europeanisation in its transitological meaning. In relation to the surveyed processes of europeanisation I will also focus on the gradual process of loosing the ties between the two state entities, the issue will explore possible impact of formal and informal processes of secession of Montenegro from the common state, the quality and the intensity of ongoing europeanisation in both state entities will be examined.

Europeanisation of Criminal Law
Oravcová, Martina ; Herczeg, Jiří (advisor) ; Gřivna, Tomáš (referee)
Europeanisation of Criminal Law Summary Throught the use of common adaptation of the basic principles of criminal law in the european dimension there is a possibility to remove an opacity and inefficiency of individual national and international instruments of criminal law so far. This effort can be the best observed in the procedures of the European Community or European Union. It should all happen by harmonizing laws and strengthening cooperation between the European Union member states. Integration of criminal law is pointed to be done in three main directions. First, it affects substantive criminal law by harmonizing particular merits of criminal offences. Second, it already affected criminal procedure by achieving mutual recognition of judicial decisions. The third way of integration is the institutional framework for judicial cooperation in criminal matters, followed-up by institutions of criminal cooperation. Criminal law as a public law is closely related to the state sovereignty. This fact, even today, suspends the opportunity to create sort of unified system of transnational criminal law within the European Union. Moreover, the very concept of criminal law is not clearly established in European law as it is in Czech law. For example, it includes even different illegal dealings than regular...

Krivošová, Martina ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Kuchařová, Alžběta (referee)

The aim of this work is to analyse the impact of Europeanisation through detailed analysis of the legal norms and laws approved by the Council and the European Parliament and further analysis of legal norms and the laws of a selected member country in the field of nuclear policy. For the purpose of this work and in-depth analysis the case study was based on the example of the Slovak Republic.

Chrtková, Kristýna ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Kný, Daniel (referee)
This thesis deals with the changes of elite and public euroscepticism in Croatia with the beginning of the last wave of democratization, from the year 2000 until nowadays. Croatia is an example of a country with a declining number of public EU supporters, when the date of the EU accession approached. In contrast to the public opinion, the attitudes of dominant part of the political elite was typically a strong EU support. This bachelor thesis aims at proving the hypothesis that the source of the Croatian euroscepticism is europeanization. Therefore the integration process of Croatia is researched focusing on changes made by the EU as well as particular problematic cases that have decelerated the accession process and negatively affected the perception of the EU. Furthermore, the thesis contains a survey of attitudes to the EU presenting opinions of selected Croatian political parties and Croatian public. Special attention is devoted to capturing the overall picture of Croatian's society attitude towards the EU.
