Anti - corruption strategies of political parties ODS and ČSSD in the sense of individual and systemic corruption
Pavlíková, Laura ; Frič, Pavol (advisor) ; Tomášek, Marcel (referee)
The phenomenon of corruption has recently become a hot discussion topic of all political parties. Separate chapters, focused specifically on the fight with corruption, are implemented into the parties' political programmes. However, despite the demonstrated endeavour to fight corruption, it seems that solutions of this major issue keep failing. Theorists, who specialize in corruption issues, agree that in the Czech Republic, corruption has already become a systemic issue. That means that it is no more just a pathological behaviour of individuals within the official norms. Vice versa, corruption has already progressed into the stage, where it creates its own norms. Moreover, these newly created norms are stronger than the official norms, and, this way, it is the incorrupt behaviour, which is now perceived as pathological. Fighting systemic corruption obviously requires different tools than fighting individual corruption. Being collective players, political parties use framing to depict the problem so that the solution they offer seems to be the only and the best. This bachleor's thesis illustrates how two major political parties in the Czech Republic - Civic Democratic Party (ODS) and Czech Social Democratic Party (ČSSD) - look on the phenomenon of corruption and how they reflect it in their...

Institucional Analysis of Support of Czech Cinematography
Pavlíková, Laura ; Háva, Petr (advisor) ; Nekolný, Bohumil (referee)
Using the optics of institutional analysis, the master's thesis "Institutional Analysis of Support of Czech Cinematography" examines and critically evaluates the dynamics of shifts in public policy approach towards audiovisual culture and its subvention from public resources. First, the subsystem of audiovisual policy is set into a broader social and cultural context. Then the thesis continues with identification of key events that influenced the formal institutions of cinematography support, one of the most significant branches of audiovisual culture. Following the Velvet Revolution, cinematography is approached with a neoliberal optics because of its potential to generate a financial profit and its artistic dimension and ability to function as a medium for values and education are sidelined. Despite declared efforts to support cinematography, the state institutions do not offer any conceptual solution for severely underfinanced sector of domestic cinematography, the sector, whose functionality should be in public interest. Only recently, changes in formal institutions, striving to bring a more complex quality approach back to cinematography, can be observed. As long as there is no conceptual financial support, however, the desired goals cannot be achieved.
