In this paper, the author studies whether the notion and interpretation laïcité has changed.

Foreign tourism: a phenomenon of opening the Francoist regime
Patočka, Miroslav ; Tomalová, Eliška (advisor) ; Bauer, Paul (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with foreign tourism as a significant phenomenon of the Francoist regime. Despite its changing role throughout the regime, particularly manifested by a change of its propagandistic utilization in the early years towards the public diplomacy, tourism can be considered the most important instrument of soft power. It has been crucial not only for the economic development, but especially for the opening of Francoist Spain. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of tourism as such, this case study deals with a wide range of internal and international areas of economic, political and socio-cultural character, which had to be directly addressed by the tourism policies. The aim of this thesis is to study the impacts of foreign tourism and its state cultivation on the changes of the international status of Spain during the Francoist era. Its main focus will therefore be analysis of the development of tourism policies, linked to the concepts of visual promotion and structure of foreign tourists during this period. The study therefore concludes that the successful and extensive cultivation of foreign tourism, unique to the Franco regime, had significant impacts on legitimacy of the dictatorship in an international context. Foreign tourism has thus extensively contributed to the...

The media also tent to describe the debate as "filthy". One of the unusual and horrifying factors were death threats to few of the political actors, as well as assassination of the Labour politician Jo Cox. Given the context, out of the three key issues, the immigration became the most controversial one, especially because of the actions of the UKIP party. Their than chairman Nigel Farage was eager to take pictures in front of two billboards they've put up - one of which captured thousands of refugees waiting on the borders, the other one implying more than 1 million Turks could enter the country in the near future. Both of those billboards were put up to stir the fear of the migration in the country.

Brubaker claims that in the current integration policies of (not only) European states, the assimilationist tendencies return - however, not in the original concept of assimilation, but in a new transformed concept in between assimilation and multiculturalism.

France and the reform of the eurozone - from Sarkozy to Hollande
Juhás, Tomáš ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (advisor) ; Bauer, Paul (referee)
Bibliografický záznam JUHÁS, Tomáš. France and the reform of the eurozone - from Sarkozy to Hollande. Praha, 2015. 68 s. Diplomová práce (Mgr.) Univerzita Karlova, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut mezinárodních studií. Katedra západoevropských studií. Vedoucí diplomové práce Doc. JUDr. PhDr. Ivo Šlosarčík, LL.M., Ph.D. Abstract The thesis seeks to map and explain the change of mind of President François Hollande with regard to the overall austerity in the eurozone. In early 2012, the President-to-be Hollande campaigned on a wave of desire for change and his campaign promises and election program promised a radically new approach towards economic and fiscal policies in the eurozone once he became president. The most explicit manifestation of this change should have been the renegotiation of the fiscal compact, formally the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union. However, once in office, the new socialist president made very little to change the overall course of austerity at home and in the euro area. To explain this unexpected outcome, the thesis employs the sociological-political concept of the field of Eurocracy, derived from the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu and developed in the French academia by Didier Georgakakis and Jay Rowell. In such context, President...
