Jirota, Tomáš ; Bureš, Jan (advisor) ; Polášek, Martin (referee)
The thesis aims to analyze and explain the origin, development and manifestations of the process of Europeanization of two players of the Czech party system - the ODS and the KSČM. The thesis starts with a theoretical part, which summarizes the current debate in political science and Europeanization in the context of political parties. The main aim was to trace the changes that were seen among those due to the involvement of political parties in the debate over the meaning of European integration for Czech politics and the practical integration into EU institutions. The basic hypothesis, which is verified, aims to examine the correlation and negativistic relation ODS and KSČM on issues of European integration after twenty years of exposure in the Czech party system. At the same time an analysis of election results mentioned parties to the European Parliament, as well as the method of election campaigns of parties in the same institution. The analytical part of the work analyzes the ODS and KSČM in the line of the general impact of European policies, program outcomes of affected parties, as well as electoral competition in elections to the EP and Czech national assembly. Key words: Europeanization, political parties, ODS, KSČM, European Union

The Impact of Theory of Optimal Currency Areas on Discursus of Political Parties ČSSD and ODS about the Entry to the Eurozone Between the Years 2010 - 2012
Müller, Lukáš ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
This essay is about the theory of optimal currency areas (OCA) and its reflection in public discussion of two biggest political parties in Czech Republic - ODS and ČSSD, about Czech Republic entering the European Monetary Union (EMU). Although EMU hadn't met the criteria of OCA before the examined period, both parties entered the elections in May 2010 with more or less pro-european program despite decreasing support of eurozone in Czech public opinion. While ČSSD only limitedly mentioned the OCA in their agumentation and explained their attitude with other reasons, ODS pointed out the heterogenity of EMU, which avoided the eurozone from efective dealing with assymetric economic shocks. While ČSSD remained loyal to its pro European policy even after the election, ODS started diverting from their European agenda right after them. This process ended with their demand for referendum about the entry of Czech Republic to the Eurozone. Before the elections, Social Democrats were the ones to discuss this topic the most, but afterwards their rhetoric limited mostly to reactions to public statements and actions of ODS only.

Analysis of publicistic columns specifically focused on politically aimed commentary
Bejšáková, Sandra ; Kraus, Jiří (advisor) ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (referee)
Diploma thesis, Analysis of publicistic columns specifically focused on politically aimed commentary, treats of attitude of authors of publicistic columns about political parties or eventually to politicians. The aim of this work is to describe the ways and means of expressing authors use to formulate their position, focusing on these within Pravo's and Mladá fronta DNES's print-outs from January 2010 to June 2010 so mainly in months before the elections. The first part presents modern development of approach to language and text. That should elucidate how the pragmatic way of language examination has begun. In the practical part I applied the approach to language and text, as listed above, and I applied the pragmatic analysis. Qualitative analysis of publicistic columns examines inclination of authors to left-wing or right-wing parties, mostly to ODS or ČSSD. It is possible to deduce what authors criticize within the frame of the whole political situation. This work also examines, what means authors of publicistic articles use to profess affection or aversion to particular politician or political party. This diploma thesis forms compendium of publicistic texts in chosen journals and characterizes the conception which reflects their relation to politics.

THE EFFECTS OF HIGH TEMPERATURE HELIUM GAS ON THE FRACTURE BEHAVIOUR OF ODS MA957
Rozumová, L. ; Hojná, A. ; Kalivodová, J. ; Bublíková, P. ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Di Gabriele, F.
Oxide-dispersion-strengthened steel (ODS) MA957 has been studied as a candidate material for Tritium Breeding Blanket for fusion reactors with helium coolant, where temperatures 250-650 degrees C are expected. Helium is one of type as primary coolant in High Temperature Reactor and Gas Cooled Fast Reactor with working temperature 500-1000 degrees C. \n\nThis work presents results of the study of behaviour of ODS (MA957) under influence of high temperature helium environment. Microstructure of the material and the interaction with He was investigated. The average exposure temperature was held at 720 degrees C. Subsequently, the surface changes were determined. Impact testing and material surfaces were studied in detail by means of SEM and TEM microscopy. It is essential to understand the He effect on microstructure and mechanical properties of structural materials since the He embrittlement in TBB may be significant.

The manifestations of Euroscepticism in the European Parliament: the example of Czech MEPs
Chytráček, Marek ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Kný, Daniel (referee)
This thesis deals with the cooperation among the Czech Eurosceptic MEPs in the European Parliament. First, I try to define the concept of Euroscepticism and its development in the Czech environment. The next chapter is dedicated to the Czech Eurosceptic parties and to the development of their attitudes towards the European Union. For this purpose I analyzed thein election programmes. The empirical chapter is focused on the cooperation and working strategies of the Czech Eurosceptic MEPs. In the conclusion I made comments on the work of the selected Czech MEPs in the European Parliament. This enabled me to find out whether the Czech Eurosceptic MEPs act in accordance with the values professed by their respective political parties.

Czech Retirement reform in politican programm
Vyšata, David ; Izák, Vratislav (advisor) ; Klazar, Stanislav (referee)
The pension systems in many countries since the 1990s have been facing a difficult situation due to population aging. Many countries had undergone necessary reforms, but in the Czech Republic this issue has been subject only to minor changes and neverending discussion. This Bachelor thesis analyses the differences between individual pension systems, their evolution in the Czech Republic and proposals of change by political parties. The main goal of this thesis is to compare the possible solutions and to review the second pillar of the pension system.

Kříhová, Dominika ; Prorok, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šabatka, Michal (referee)
This thesis is a comparative study of electoral programs of the two most powerful czech political parties ODS (Civic Democratic Party) and ČSSD (Czech Social Democratic Party) namely in the domain of their economic and social policies. The main aim of this work is solely the comparation thus the research of similar and different points which ODS and ČSSD seek to promote in the long term. A secondary objective is an attempt to determine whether the frequent disputes between these parties stems from ideological differences, or whether it is rather a pragmatic concern. Comparison is in the same time synchronous and diachronic (comparison of two programs of political parties in the time frame from the beginning of 90's until these days), such a comparison allows to identify the consistency and continuity in the programs of ODS and ČSSD and their overall development. The first part introduces the ideological foundations of the ODS and ČSSD, the most important milestones in their development and their position in the czech party system. The second part is a comparison of the electoral programs of these parties in the mentioned area, according to various themes. The third part examines whether the dissents between the parties are rather ideological or pragmatic, mentioned is the role of opposition in the political process and the centripetalism of modern political parties.
