Stavjaňa, Aleš ; Ryvolová, Ivana (advisor) ; Stočková, Olga (referee)
The bachelor thesis tries to show how human interaction can reflect in the way the government works. It maps the development of the Swedish state which, thanks to its homogenous populatioén, is a quite good example of how culture can influence the way that state behaves to its citizens.

By the collocation social system is meant the service the citizens get abd it is thought rather in the meaning of system of a society. Thus the thesis tries to enllighten the reason for choosing the rate of citizen - govenrment cooperation among nations and among cultures
