The Kurdish Minority in Turkey: Problems and Perspectives
Netopilová, Eliška ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (referee)
The treatment of minorities by different states gains scholarly attention in the recent years. This thesis attempts to define the necessary criteria for a state to have in order for its treatment of minorities to be acceptable by the international society. There are three major parts of the thesis. It starts with a thorough investigation of legal dimension of minority rights. The thesis formulates the criteria that a state should meet in the field of national and international law regarding minority rights. The second part investigates the political dimension of the issue. The analysis of political dimension describes the interaction of governments with minorities and the factors influencing the success of minorities in achieving their demands. In the final part of the thesis, the criteria formulated in legal and political dimensions are applied to the case of the Kurdish minority in Turkey. The position of Kurdish minority in the society is unique because of the Turkish state's assimilationist policies towards ethnic minorities till very recent years. The minority rights defined by international society were, therefore, not recognized in Turkey. However, the situation has recently changed. The current government ruled by Justice and Development Party has applied numerous democratization reforms that normalize the position of minorities. The Kurdish minority is not discriminated against as much as it was in the past. In addition to the analysis of the current state of minority rights in Turkey, the thesis proposes opportunities for improvement in the future.

Proposal of optimal regulation in the Czech water industry
Novotný, Jiří ; Macháč, Jan (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
This thesis deals with post-privatization development of the water industry and sewerage. It leads to problems that the current state of regulation has been unable to handle effectively. There is an outflow of money into private foreign companies rather than investing in the aging infrastructure of the Czech water system. Water has not been earning a financial gain for the state, even though its price over the years continues to grow. The state has been unable to allocate investments toward cities and municipalities that have a high incentive to establish a superior water infrastructure. Water companies often have the privileged position in this field and even though they are regulated by antitrust laws, their operation is not socially efficient. In compliance with the information asymmetry and the pressure of the groups of interest, the regulator is affected more by the preferences of the water system companies rather than the interests of society. The aim of the thesis is to suggest the adjustment of regulation in the Czech Republic on the basis of foreign experience. Comparative analysis of the approaches of chosen European countries was used for this purpose; and further, for a deeper comparison, the situation is presented at a much better mapped and described telecommunication market. From the discussed methods of regulation (following the example of the European experience), not only the recommendations regarding the changes of duties for operators to lease the water infrastructure are suggested, but also non-discrimination of the individual consumer groups, changes of legislation in favor of long-term sustainable development in the field of water supply, and suggestions for dealing with information asymmetry.
