The Stability of Coalition Governments: Regional versus British-wide Political Party Preferences
Nezdarová, Bára ; Reschová, Jana (advisor) ; Kuta, Martin (referee)
The thesis focuses on the Labour-led coalition governments in Scotland and Wales. The Scottish and Welsh branches of the Labour Party enjoy a great deal of autonomy to to formulate their own policies, to negotiate coalition arrangements and to make strategic choices responding to the electoral challenges in those regions. The Scottish and Welsh Labour Parties have not been obliged to follow the British-wide New Labour policy preferences in the devolved bodies, even though the Scottish Labourites often did so. In Wales, a more distinctive approach has been adopted. However, both Scottish and Welsh Labour Parties have been willing to compromise and to make significant concessions to their coalition partners. The different approaches to tuition fees in Westminster, Scotland and Wales presented in the last chapter were also the case. Therefore, the thesis concludes that the stability of the analyzed regional coalition governments was not threatened by British-wide policy preferences of the Labour Party.

New Labour - Third way
Görčöš, Ivan ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Tumis, Stanislav (referee)
In my bachelor thesis "New Labour - Third way" I would like to analyze internal economic policy of Great Britain applicated by The Labour Party chaired by Tony Blair. The main question of my thesis will be -- Is the third way existing? Has the Labour Party with Tony Blair stayed still left-wing? Or has it become right-wing party? Can we speak about post-thatcherism? Was the idea of third way and deflection from traditional labour significances and Keynesian economics successful? I am going to initiate my work around 1979 when Labour Party went to opposition. The main part of my thesis will begin when Tony Blair was starting to became leader of the party. Especially with the intention of the programme New Labour, New Life For Britain. I am going to split it among three electoral victories. I will focus on policy related to inflation, unemployment, expenditures on health care or changes in education system. I am going to cancel my work in 2007 when Gordon Brown has become Prime Minister.

Velká Británie v období labouristických vlád. Ekonomické a společenské reformy (1945-1951)
Horáček, Vilém ; Ševčík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Tumis, Stanislav (referee)
Šest let trvající období vlády labouristických vlád v letech 1945-51 má z hlediska poválečného vývoje Velké Británie rozhodující význam. Do jisté míry nečekané a výrazné vítězství labouristické strany vytvořilo prostor pro provádění významných socialistických opatření, které předznamenaly směr hospodářské politiky uskutečňovaný až do druhé poloviny 70. let. Tato práce se zabývá jednotlivými kroky provedenými Labouristickou stranou v tomto období a analyzuje jejich dopady. Práce je rozdělena do několika kapitol, které se věnují jednotlivým oblastem působení labouristické vlády. První kapitola se zabývá důvody, které vedly k vítězství labouristů; v dalších kapitolách je analyzována poválečná ekonomická situace, politika plánování a zestátnění a budování širokého sociálního státu. Cílem práce je zhodnotit, jakým způsobem ovlivnilo období labouristických vlád budoucí hospodářský vývoj Velké Británie, zda toto období představovalo úspěšné zvládnutou poválečnou rekonstrukci nebo zda naopak znamenalo jeden z hlavních faktorů pomalejšího hospodářského růstu Velké Británie v pozdějších letech.
