The application of scientific methods in identifying and analyzing problems in public policy
Žemlička, Josef ; Nový, Jan (advisor) ; Veselý, Zdeněk (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to test the Q method applied in discursive analysis in public policy. The author will carry out research using available scientific literature dealing with the method and prepare a case study whose purpose will be to test the reliability of the method Q in a practical case. Promoters of the Q method argue that the uniqueness of the method rests in its resistance to the subjective influence of the researcher. The purpose of this work is therefore a practical verification of to what extent may the researcher's subjective stance at the selection of the default set of statements reflect on the overall result of the analysis.

The Transformation of the Political Environment in Great Britain as a Result of the Rise of Mass Media (until the 70s of the 20th Century)
Koštel, Jakub ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
The main theme of this thesis is the relationship between media and politics in Great Britain mainly in the twentieth century. The research is based on the fact that dynamic post-war growth in technological and economical areas resulted in the development and mass expansion of new media, especially radio and television broadcasting. The main goal of the thesis is to analyze the transformation of British political environment and to verify the hypothesis arguing that this transformation was primarily caused by the development of new media. Changes in the British politics during the twentieth century are demonstrated especially by the election campaigns and methods of political communication. Another part of this work is also the brief analysis of the development of British mass media (press, radio and television) which provides an important context for achieving the stated objectives. The thesis is methodologically based on the research from fields of media history, political history and sociology which concentrates on political communication.

Introduction of tolls in Prague from viewpoint interest groups
Hubená, Martina ; Vejchodská, Eliška (advisor) ; Geuss, Erik (referee)
This thesis examines the possibility of enforcing a toll in Prague's central region, which has long been struggling with congestion. The central objective was to determine how interest groups affect the problem of introducing tolls in the area of Prague. Interest groups underwent an analysis at whose beginning they were identified and searched out. A determination of its benefits and costs followed to rovide a more detailed assessment establishing the motivation and the influence that various interest groups may have. In this thesis, a relatively strong interest group from the corporate sector was identified, which would be significantly affected by the toll -- the providers of courier services. Experts anticipate an assumption of negative attitudes by this group to the introduction of tolls, which is also confirmed in the/an interview with the stakeholders.

The Economics of Wind Energy
Ryvolová, Ivana ; Zemplinerová, Alena (advisor) ; Žák, Milan (referee) ; Štěpán, Vladimír (referee)
The presented work examines the special characteristics of electricity produced by the wind as a renewable resource into which considerable hopes are being placed. Production of electricity from wind, as well as from other renewable sources, is a subject of many legislatively enshrined preferential rules. These subsidies and regulatory provisions help the energy producers but represent additional costs to every final customer and tax payer. The aim of this work is to analyse the key arguments of wind energy advocates, which are 1) economic advantage of this production due to zero costs for 'fuel' and 2) negligible burden on the environment due to zero carbon dioxide emissions. The work takes into account all aspects of wind energy production, including their financial and extra-financial implications, and shows their indefensibility in economic terms and in terms of environmental protection. Besides, I have attempted to identify institutional aspects and forms of government which is known to give interest groups a chance to succeed in their rent-seeking activities and as a result allow prosperity of the above-mentioned ineffective energy production. Attention is also paid to the observation that, given the specific technological features of electricity production from the wind, it is not possible to fully apply the conclusions of a traditional theory of economic regulation onto the current position of key players in the electricity market.

Restrictions of the free movement of workers on the basis of judgments of the Court of Justice
Šedová, Klára ; Grmelová, Nicole (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Petr (referee)
Freedom of movement of workers constitutes right of citizens of the Union to move and reside freely within the territory of Member States for the purpose of employment. But this right is not an absolute one. Bachelor thesis focuses on restrictions which arise out of EC Treaty, such as limitations justified on grounds of public policy, public security and public health or employment in the public service. Other limitations arise out of the disunity of national provisions. In order to reduce such limitations the Council shall adopt provisions for the harmonisation of legislation. It is typical in the process of recognition of diplomas and qualifications. Main legal sources of the bachelor thesis are judgments of the Court of Justice.
