Use of Political Marketing in Reinventing the British Conservative Party
Heczko, Pavel ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Nováček, Jan (referee)
The subject of this thesis is The Conservative Party and its use of political marketing. The text analyzes how the Party responded to three subsequent election defeats in 1997, 2001 and 2005 and to what extent are the Conservatives utilizing political marketing methods and techniques in reaction to the pressure from their more market oriented competitor, the Labour Party. Since the rebranding of the Labour Party under Tony Blair, the Conservatives were struggling to adapt to the new reality. Instead of utilizing political marketing and being more responsive to the wishes of the electorate they diverged their polities more to the right. However, their incumbent leader, David Cameron, is transforming the Party and making it more market oriented. These efforts are critically analyzed.

Postoje Rakouska k rozšíření Evropské unie o Turecko
Zelinková, Markéta ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
Tato práce pojednává o postoji Rakouska k rozšíření Evropské unie o Turecko. Rakousko patří v rámci Evropské unie k euroskeptickým zemím, což se odráží i v postoji k dalšímu rozšiřování. Zejména negativně se Rakousko staví k rozšíření Evropské unie o Turecko. Tento negativní vztah je dán jednak historickými vztahy mezi oběma zeměmi, negativními zkušenostmi s tureckou menšinou v Rakousku a charakterem volebních kampaní rakouských politických stran.

Political, social and cultural integration of the immigrants from India in the United States of America
Rezková, Hana ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Chalupský, Rudolf (referee)
This paper deals with the political, social and cultural integration of the immigrants from India in the United States of America. The last and so far the biggest wave of Asian Indian immigration to the U.S. began after 1965 with the passage of the new Immigration Act. Today, there are more than 2.5 million Asian Indian immigrants living in the U.S. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the chronology of events and history of U.S. immigration laws concerning Asian, and particularly Asian Indian, immigrants. Building on this analysis, the goal is further to show how the immigrants were being discriminated against and how they managed to integrate successfully into the mainstream American society despite many cases of refusal and acts based on prejudice. The Social Integration part analyzes possible problems in the Asian Indian immigrant family living in the U.S., their attitudes towards education, and finally their success at work. The Cultural Integration part includes the topic of multiculturalism, issues of conflict and communication, differences between the American and Indian culture, as well as religion, holidays, and traditions.
