Unicameralism in the constitutional system of the Czech Republic?
Musil, Jiří ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Antoš, Marek (referee)
The present Master's thesis seeks to analyze the constitutional system of the Czech Republic in the point of its bicameralism compared to the constitutional system of Hungary, the Republic of Poland and the Slovak Republic. The work's hypothesis assumes the bicameral parliament states are more successful than unicameral in their economic indicators. This assumption is based on the fact being a state of law where all activities must be in compliance with law which is given by a parliament and economy of the state is determinated by the quality of the rules. This paper does not use the mainstream way of constitutinal law or political science analysis as a main method but prefer the Law and Economics (LAE) and the first mentioned is used as corrective element only. GDP per capita is used becouse of its eligibility to be the most depictive economic indicator. Due to the lack of relevant data set World Bank statistics in US dollars of recent price level are used. The mentioned countries were chosen as the low rate of unobserved heterogenity states, decreasing the possibility of inexact analysis but these countries are different in the number of parliament houses and it permits to use Difference-in-differences method (DID). The used DID is very similar to the placebo response and it helps to distinguish...

There is a question of advantageousness of transformation into unicameral constitutional system of Czech Republic ceteris paribus. The work's hypothesis assumes the bicameral parliament states are more successful than unicameral in their economic indicators.

The Concept of Sovereignty of the People and the Political Party System in the First Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938) and in the Czech Republic since 1993
Havel, Tomáš ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Pithart, Petr (referee) ; Holländer, Pavol (referee)
The idea of sovereignty of the people offers a concept which allows searching for legitimacy of power. The legitimacy of power is one of the key structures establishing a relation between those who govern and those who are governed. Whether this relation is accepted, acceptable, functional, desirable or undesirable is a matter of finding the very definition of sovereignty of the people as such. The aim of this doctoral thesis, titled The Concept of Sovereignty of the People and the Political Party System in the First Czechoslovak Republic (1918 - 1938) and in the Czech Republic since 1993, is, firstly, to define the concepts of the people, on one hand, and sovereignty, on the other hand, in the historical, political and legal context from the ancient times up to now while reflecting the role of political parties in relation to the sovereignty of the people. Secondly, this thesis aims at exploring and describing the functioning of the party systems in the interwar Czechoslovakia and in the Czech Republic after 1993. Thirdly, this thesis seeks to answer the following questions: who represents the people in liberal democracies which are based on sovereignty of the people; how do the people exercise their power; and what is the role of the political parties in this process.

Cejnarová, Petra ; Stančo, Ladislav (advisor) ; Kysela, Jan (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to introduce Arms and Armour of Achaemenid Army. In this study I describe briefly clothing, arms and armour of the Persian army during the period since the reign of Cyrus the Great until the reign of Darius III. Kodomanés. War strategy of the Persian army will be also mentioned, whereas it is not possible to present military equipment without an adequate description of the method of use. Firstly we use the historical writings by Greek authors to describe Achaemenid arms. Furthermore, we observe the appearance and evolution of weapons and equipment in art. Artistic monuments of Persian origin, Scythian artefacts, which decoration was greatly influenced by Achaemenid art, Greek artefacts, to which, however, should be approached with caution, and the art of some other Asian nations (Lydians, Phrygians) we use as a sources of information. Secondly, we introduce a categorisation of weapons and equipment. The most important is the division of equipment between infantry and cavalry. In both sections, we firstly describe the clothing of troops, further we introduce defensive equipment and offensive weapons. The greatest change in the development of arms and armour of the Achaemenid army was caused by Greco-Persian wars. Finally, allied troops from neighboring Asian...

Ederová, Kristína ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Militký, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis is devoted to the iconography of coins in ancient Etruria, connected with Etruscan cities. The first part is theoretical and thematically divided into two parts. First of these parts discusses the geography and a brief introduction to the social and economic issues in Etruria. The second part is an introduction to the iconography of Etruscan coins. A few of the most common themes, that occur frequently on individual mintages, are selected and then analyzed in detail. The themes are presented and compared with motifs on Greek or Roman coins, and Etruscan art. For greater clarity is the majority of chosen motifs accompanied with a table, where the occurrence of motifs across the cities is shown. Tables are divided by centuries and mintages, resulting in an overview of the cities, where the motive was used most often. The second part is a catalog of Etruscan coins, broken down by cities. The cities are accompanied by the images of coins and the tables with their denomination, metal and century of their introduction. The aim of this work is to find out what external factors had the greatest influence on the iconography of the Etruscan coins. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Subsequently, the thesis deals with production-trading centers (Němčice nad Hanou, Roseldorf, Nowa Cerekwia) in the corridor of the Amber Route. However, the most important part is typological - a chronological overview of coins from the production- trading center Němčice nad Hanou, which is mostly based on catalog of coin findings from newly compiled by E.
