Štefanková, Kristýna ; Kolman, Ondřej (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to analyze selected tools of active employment policy in the Uherske Hradiste district in the year 2009-2014 and thus analyze the ability of the state to fight with unemployment during times of economic depression. Main attention is paid to community work, socially useful jobs and especially to retraining as the most used tool of this policy. After analyzing retraining gross effects I came to a conclusion that retraining is an effective tool in the fight with unemployment. Community work and socially useful jobs can support job applicants in the short term, however after dole period is over vast majority of these jobs vanish. I concluded this thesis with recommendation to focus the active employment policy on groups in risk of unemployment. Also more thorough statistical analysis should be conducted on the district level by relevant job centers.

Čarek, Sebastián ; Kolman, Ondřej (advisor) ; Chmelová, Pavla (referee)
This thesis was written to create a missing complex study about Fare-Free Public Transport (FFPT) policy and to confirm hypothesis that abolition of fares are not generally accompanied by passengers increasing demand. Theoretical part describes public transport potential substitutes, for example competition in problematic individual car transport. In other chapters thesis summarises present known knowledges of public transport demand, financing by public service contracts and encapsulates experiences with Fare-Free Public Transport in Europe. Practical part includes four case studies: Tallinn, Frýdek-Místek, railway passenger transport in Slovakia and Prague Integrated Transport (PID). Analysis of PID and Tallinn confirmed that fare decrease in case of low fares already before act, does not entice additional passengers, because the demand is highly inelastic. But the important issue is that introducing of FFPT is connected with lots of side effects. Extraordinary space in thesis has policy of Free Trains in Slovakia, that caused many side effects that must have been solved in process to not damage paying passengers. Policy had important effect on public transport market in Slovakia, when ZSSK was pressed to depreciate own InterCity trains operated for own commercial risk and negative effect was also observed on private long-distance bus transport and on budgets of higher-level territorial administrative units.

Beránek, Hynek ; Kolman, Ondřej (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyses the unemployment in the Liberec Region between 2010 - 2014 and the associated effectivity of the state employment policy. The work aims to provide a complex analysis of the course of unemployment and to evaluate the most successful instruments of the active employment policy. The theoretical part defines the key concepts of the labour market, unemployment and the state employment policy. Because of a strong interconnection between the region and the manufacturing and glass industries, which were struck by the Great Recession, the unemployment rate has stayed quite high and above the average of the Czech Republic up to now. Furthermore, this fact is highlighted by the increase of the proportion of long-term unemployed individuals. Retraining and creation of socially purposeful jobs are among the most effective instruments of active employment policy according to the financial demands. The questionnaire survey shows that the employers expressed satisfaction with the cooperation with the employment office and therefore that the employment office is effectively increasing the employment rate. As a conclusion the thesis points out the importance to focus on high-risk groups, especially the long-term unemployed.

Reflection on the British attitude towards membership in the EC/EU under the premiership of Harold Macmillan and David Cameron
Haas, Václav ; Kolman, Ondřej (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Pavel (referee)
The thesis reflects on the British attitude towards membership in the European Communities and the European Union under the premiership of Harold Macmillan and David Cameron, respectively. The theoretical section of the thesis defines the basic concepts related to the topic and presents available theoretical approaches. Closer attention is dedicated to traditional institutionalism, which defines the categories of costs and benefits as well as the sources of preferences that determine the government's decisions on ascension to the European integration process. In its practical section, the thesis outlines British opinions on individual stages and milestones of the European integration ranging from World War II to the filing of the official application for accession to the European Economic Community. The paper also identifies specific factors that participate in the decision-making process to redefine European politics under Macmillan's and Cameron's governments. The principal finding is that the two governments ascribe highly differing importance to individual types of costs and benefits and prefer different viewpoints in the decision-making process, which naturally leads to different conclusions.
