Migration policies and security in Germany and the EU-border control dilemmas in the 21st century
Bürkl, Noémie ; Drulák, Petr (advisor) ; Kolenovská, Daniela (referee)
This thesis takes up the intimate link between migration realities and the necessity to ensure security on the territory of nation states. Unluckily, migration has the same effect as international terrorism, i.e. blurring the borders between an external and international security dimension. Therefore migration management is often understood as migration control. But the security dimension of migration gets sometimes too predominant, neglecting human rights of individual migrants. National policies are influenced by a wide range of actors within the society, who contribute to focusing the debate more on the integration rather than the control dimension, even if the majority of public opinion has anti-immigrant positions. Germany will provide the case study for analysing the national level. An economics, laws and politics triangle provides the basic analytical framework. The emergence of a securitised migration approach on the EU-level is linked to the willingness of member states to cooperate on this sensitive issue. Other cooperation processes occur outside the EU framework, but it is generally not less focused on security and control. Illegal migration is particularly outlined here, even if it is extremely difficult to get statistical data for scientific foundation. Criminal networks are also often...

The influence of alcohol policy on the demand for alcohol
Kramperová, Hana ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Loužek, Marek (referee)
In my bachelor work, i am going to discuss alcohol policy and its influence on the demand for alcohol. This policy is a long-term political issue that has been talked about for many years. It could also be considered as a social problem that has affected our population in many different ways. The policy consists of many activities and restrictions. I would like to focus on a regulation of alcohol by increasing taxes in order to decrease the number of consumers. At the same time, it would earn a lot of money which is also a very significant contribution to the state budget. Consumer tax is an actual issue that members of the European Union are facing. These states are divided into two sectors with a different type of the tax. Mainly, I would like to analyze the group with a high consumer tax and with a low consumer tax in which the Czech Republic belongs. The major goal of this policy is levelling the tax in every country in the European Union in following years I am going to give so much time to this very important topic and discuss the major problems, because it is significant for Czech economy and its progress and development.

The Presidential Election in the Period of the First Republic in the Pages of the Newspapers of Czech Political Parties
Jandura, Michal ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Václavů, Lubor (referee)
Prezidentské volby v období první republiky patří к nejvýznamnějším politickým událostem Československé republiky, ještě významnější, než-li volby do parlamentu. Proč tomu tak bylo? Voleb do zastupitelských orgánů se zúčastnilo vždy mnoho politických stran, z nichž pouze nej důležitější byly státotvorné a ani jedna z těchto stran nezískala takový počet hlasů, aby mohla účinně ovlivňovat chod parlamentu. Z toho důvodu vznikla tzv. pětka ( později šestka a osmička ) sestavená z mandátů těchto stran a tento faktický stav fungoval mnoho let a přinášel tak politickou stabilitu Československu, bez ohledu na konkrétní výsledek voleb. Tím však tyto volby poněkud ztrácely na svém významu ve prospěch prezidentských voleb, jejichž důležitost byla především zdůrazněna osobou Tomáše Garrigue Masaryka, který již na samém počátku vzniku Československé republiky prosadil silnou pozici prezidenta v ústavě.1 Samotné prezidentské volby, výjma prvních voleb, byly dokladem silného politického boje, ve kterém nebyla předem jistota, že prezidentem bude zvolen Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, resp. v posledních volbách Edvard Beneš. Termín první republika se vztahuje na období mezi vznikem Československé republiky v roce 1918 a 30. zářím 1938, kdy byla podepsána Mnichovská dohoda. Celkově došlo v těchto vymezených letech к pěti...

Pro and con acceptance Euro - application on the Czech Republic
Jandová, Barbora ; Mach, Petr (advisor) ; Chytilová, Helena (referee)
The aim of this work is to appraise advantages and disadvantages of accepting EURO, in Czech Republic, which has already taken steps in order to join the EMU. The first part focus on the establishment and development of the EMU and about requirements, which have to be fulfilled by the countries, which are supposed to become members of the EMU. Afterwards, I would like to speak about pros and cons associated with this membership and consequently, I will analyse consequences caused by acceptance of a single currency. With regard to previous theory and experience of the EMU members, the second part is adressed to the Czech Republic. Except from analysis of current economic factors, which are important when talking about accepting the EURO, I will mention opinions and positions of the leaders of the main political parties and alternative institutions. Then, I will compare the Czech Republic with other countries, that are adepts for accepting common currency. Finally, I will put together the benefits and costs associated with single currency and I will make adequate conclusions on the basis of previous analysis.

Reflection of “otherness” in international relations
Kvašňák, Daniel ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Doležal, Tomáš (referee)
The current migration crisis has put significant strain on the European Union and its member states. Immigration has always been a contentious issue in societies, most often facing significant opposition. By drawing on postmodern theories of international relations and Discourse Theory, this paper analyses how immigration is being increasingly securitized by the European Union and its member states along with what makes securitization the hegemonic discourse. This is done primarily with reference to identity construction through the framing of the Other, in this case the migrant, as an unwanted and externalized element. Furthermore, the paper details how the framing of the migrant as a threat to the internal security of a country strenghtend identity politics across Europe. Finally, using the Brexit campaign in the UK, the paper analyzes how the rise in identity politics in turn raises the possibility of a successful fusion of the anti-immigration discourse with the anti-EU discourse through the exploiting of societal unease.
