Globalization and its effects on law (with emphasis on environment protection legislation)
Petrusek, Kryštof ; Agha, Petr (advisor) ; Urban, Michal (referee)
Thesis Title: Globalization and its effects on law This thesis deals with the phenomenon of globalization and its consequences for law. Due to the fact, that the concept of globalization is very extensive, the thesis focuses only on selected aspects of law as a social phenomenon. In this sense, law is perceived as a political tool for the involvement of other subjects in its creation, which naturally leads to the disruption of the centuries-old role of the state as a hegemon of legislative norm-making. The thesis is divided into three parts, whilst the first chapter focuses on the phenomenon and genesis of globalization as such. It points to its frequent criticisms and concludes that, despite all the shortcomings, it is a very positive process, which ultimately makes the world society as a whole wealthier. Recently, however, the concept of globalization has been discussed at political levels, especially in the context of Brexit and the election of Donald Trump in 2016. The aim of this chapter is to point out the fact that even these elections need to be perceived from the perspective of disillusionment with the process of globalization and its non- economical and rather cultural aspects. However, it must be said that this hypothesis has only been confirmed indirectly and it is appropriate to...

Ševečka, Daniel ; Agha, Petr (advisor) ; Kosek, Jan (referee)
The Law and Art - Symbolism, Aesthetics, Architecture Abstract The Law and Art can be considered as a field of legal science or as a part of the theory of law, which is beginning to enjoy the interest of lawyers and legal scientists and theoreticians. However, this is not an area of law dealing with the Art Law. The Art Law focuses more on intellectual property law and the application of law in the world of art and artists. This thesis analyzes the theoretical question of whether the law can be understood as a distinct artistic discipline. So called beautiful art. This question also is the main hypothesis of this thesis. The thesis consists of five backbone chapters, in which the author, with the help of partial hypotheses and submitting as much information as possible, seeks to defend or refute the main hypothesis. As a by-product of the research done, the author also introduces a new term "The Art of Law". The Art of Law is supposed to represent possible ways and (the) ways of the connections of particular beautiful and applied arts with the law as a field of human activity. The aim of the thesis is not only to provide comprehensive and definitive answers to the main hypothesis (but also to a comprehensive explanation of the concept of the Art of Law) likewise an effort to set up a stimulating environment...
Liberal democracy and its enemies
Slanina, Daniel ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Agha, Petr (referee)
Nowadays liberal democracy is faced with a crisis bought mainly by the liberal-democratic elites with their approach and the politics they established during the period of boundless triumphalism in the 1990s. Sand castles, whether it was the inevitability of progress or capitalism as a miraculous elixir to all the ills of society at the time, built during this period, began to crumble like a house of cards. Associated with the financial crisis that erupted in the United States in 2007 it spread practically all over the world. The period of the global financial crisis has shown that the creation of a legal framework, building of a conscious civil society and the system of values on which the society is built and identifies with them, or the construction of a liberal-democratic identity fell behind economic transformation and economic growth after 1989 and the people's relationship to liberal democracy was built primarily on economic aspects. This created space for those who for many years hid rather in the shadows, on the edge of the spectrum of political power. A fraction of the liberal-democratic elites, with their approach and politics of a kind of arrogance of power and the style of labeling their opponents, have turned against them even those who a priori did not have a negative attitude...
Legal and ethical aspects of the regulation of autonomous systems. Artificial intelligence and law
Hospodková Tadevosjanová, Laura ; Urban, Michal (advisor) ; Agha, Petr (referee)
In connection with the development of autonomous systems supporting artificial intelligence technologies, respectively machine learning, there is a growing concern both in the public and in the media, as well as among legislators and developers. Naturally, such concerns have naturally arisen in the case of other, earlier technologies, but it is clear that there is something atypical in the case of modern technologies. The period when robots, artificial intelligence and other autonomous systems were only a sci-fi topic is already to some extent obsolete and autonomous systems in various forms have been reaching a large number of areas for several years and represent an integral element of the world around us. In practice, more and more companies are engaged in the development of autonomous systems equipped with artificial intelligence, especially the development of chatbots, autonomous vehicles or autonomous drones is nowadays a good example that the operation of similar systems is not so far from reality. In the first and subsequent second chapter, the paper deals in general with an introduction to the topic of autonomous systems with an emphasis on artificial intelligence, respectively machine learning technologies, description of society's ideas of these new technologies, basic defining features...
Politics, Identity and Nation From the perspective of social psychology: Do we need an integrative national identity?
Kosíková, Terezie ; Agha, Petr (advisor) ; Kosek, Jan (referee)
Politics, Identity and Nation Abstract National identity is a current and frequently discussed topic. Nevertheless, there seems to be no consensus on its definition in the academic community. However, national identity remains a major part of the citizen's life and is essential for the functioning of a democratic rule of law. Therefore, I chose the aim of my work, to look at the topic of national identity from a normative point of view and ask the question: "Is it possible to actively redefine a national identity?" This redefining into more integrative identity could be an answer to many of today's challenges, such as the increasing number of migrants, polarization by identity politics or the growing separatist and nationalist groups within states. Because I chose a broad topic, I decided to describe it and map it from the perspective of different approaches. The first part deals with the concept of identity, where I use Tajfel's Theory of Social Identity in the field of social psychology. In the second part, I deal with the history of national identity and related concepts such as nation and citizenship, which I explain on theories of the field of political science and political philosophy. The theoretical understanding should then serve to orient and lay the foundations for understanding national...

Genocide, Holocaust and Law The topic of my thesis is Genocide, Holocaust and Law. The purpose of work is to reflect on the power of law surrounding mass murder.

The second part presents historical examples of genocides that preceded the Holocaust and their simple comparison with the Holocaust. More precisely, these are the Armenian Genocide, the Tasmanian Genocide, and the genocides perpetrated by the Mongol Empire.

Gender and Law
Vodňanská, Eva ; Agha, Petr (advisor) ; Friedel, Tomáš (referee)
Gender and Law Abstract This diploma thesis is concerned with the relationship of gender and law. It uses the example of unequal pay to analyze both lasting gender structures which exist within our society and their reflection in legislation. Firstly it addresses the equal pay regulation within the current Labour Code and its provisions and attempts to discover social and cultural phenomena which permanently maintain and sustain pay inequality, despite the supposed equality guaranteed by the legislation. It offers a critical look at the legislation in view of its insufficient real effect on extra-legal reality. Finally it analyzes the whole problem through the eye of feminist legal theory and tries to find alternative means of regulating gender equality. This thesis then firstly describes the approach to pay equality adopted by legislation, with its advantages and disadvantages, and the government gender policy which covers each of these regulations. The second part of the thesis deals with the statistical data pertaining to unequal pay and analyzes societal causes of persisting unequality such as segregation of the labour market or employee discrimination. The final part of this thesis addresses the development of feminist legal theory, its leading thoughts and ideological disputes and its strategies for...
