Pavlík, Tomáš ; Frič, Pavol (advisor) ; Cejp, Martin (referee)
The diploma thesis "Anti-corruption activism of the commercial sector from the point of view of political opportunity structure theory" Abstract The diploma thesis "Anti-corruption activism of the commercial sector from the point of view of political opportunity structure theory" was devoted to the structure of political opportunities in 1998 to 2012 in relation to manifestations of corruption in the Czech Republic and the role of the commercial sector in terms of anti-corruption involvement. This thesis aimed to find out what is the structure of the opportunities, that participants of the commercial sector can be use in order to influence anti-corruption public politics. Two periods were found from the period of time which the thesis focuses on, during which more fundamental manifestations of the commercial sector occurred. The first period was linked to accession of the Czech Republic to the EU, when presentation of the commercial sector most frequently took place via special-interest associations and tools of Commercial ethics and the concept of CSR supported by activities of the European Union.

Alternative sanctions in the Czech Republic.
Mrajcová, Simona ; Cejp, Martin (advisor) ; Vávra, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with alternative sanctions in the Czech Republic. It primarily focuses on the cooperation between relevant actors during the process of decision-making about the type of sanction, its execution and supervision, and also concentrates on possible changes of its use after the amendment of criminal law in 2010. To give a complex view on given issue, the thesis also shortly focuses on alternatives to sanctions and diversions of criminal proceedings. System of alternative sanctions is framed by criminal policy and criminal law of the Czech Republic and factors that have influence on functioning of the system are determined. Those factors are multinational structures (OSN, EU, Council of Europe), level of registered criminality, forms of criminality and public opinion. Despite the fact, that Czech criminal law contains quite wide enumeration of alternative sanctions, there are still opinions that they are not used enough and that imprisonment is still preferred and it causes overcrowding of prisons and it is burden for state budget. Judges and prosecutors advocate themselves and claim that the problem is not on their side but rather the conditions of alternative sanctions which are poorly regulated and so it discourages from their use. Also the non-conceptual attitude of criminal...

Security and Citizens in the 21st Century
Stejskal, Libor ; Balabán, Miloš (advisor) ; Cejp, Martin (referee) ; Mareš, Miroslav (referee)
Bibliografický záznam STEJSKAL, Libor. 2013. Bezpečnost a občané v 21. století: Strukturace a integrace dobrovolných občanských rolí při zajišťování bezpečnosti. Praha. Dizertační práce. Univerzita Karlova v Praze, Fakulta sociálních věd. Shrnutí Práce se věnuje komplexu dobrovolných občanských rolí a činností při zajišťování bezpečnosti. Vychází z premisy, že různorodé činnosti, obvykle definované a popisované zcela odděleně, mají řadu společných znaků a především že jsou jedním logickým celkem, pokud na bezpečnost našich společností nahlížíme optikou komplexního, širokého pojetí, kde ztrácí relevanci stará resortní dělení na vnitřní a vnější, vojenskou a nevojenskou, a v němž už bezpečnost státu nemá přednost před bezpečností lidí. Dále jsou mapovány a popsány různé činnosti a projevy těchto občanských rolí, a to v jejich rozčlenění do čtyř hlavních sfér (obranně-vojenské, pořádkově-policejní, záchranářsko-humanitárně-hasičské a sféry individuální připravenosti). Dobrovolné občanské zapojení zahrnuje jednak praktický výkon při operativním zajišťování bezpečnosti jako veřejné služby a přípravu k němu, jednak občanskou participaci na politice a řízení veřejného bezpečnostního sektoru. Následně je navržen syntetizující model, který prostřednictvím těchto čtyř sfér a dalších dimenzí a modalit umožňuje...

Empiric part consequently covers both phenomena showing the case of the Liberec city hall, the research itself is bounded by the years 1998-2010, when the connection between the city government and construction lobby reveals in an intense political and medial point of view.

Metodically the paper is built up on elaborate interviews (politicians, officers, prosecuting authorities etc.), document analysis (reports and materials of the city council and municipal government,...
