The phenomenon of the rise of the extreme right in France, a content-discursive comparative analysis of the National Front candidates in the presidential elections since 2002
Húsková, Eva ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Komasová, Sarah (referee)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is the comparison of two presidential candidates, representing the French extreme-right party called National Front since 2002. Over the last few years, the popularity of National Front has been rising - M. Le Pen got into second round of presidential elections in 2017 and also, the party has been obtaining more and more seats in Parliament as a result of legislative elections. This work analyzes the development of the National Front in correlation with the "dediabolization" concept - mechanisms, that aims to normalize its rhetoric (erasing xenophobic and racist remarks, islamophobia and antisemitism). The thesis is focusing on populist elements, which can be seen in the discourse, but also as an ideology promoted by presidential candidates - party leaders representing party interests and goals on a national level. The analysis is divided into two parts - first of all, it is a comparative content analysis of political programs from 2002, 2007, 2012 and 2017, based on four indicators, and in the second part, it is a discourse analysis of speeches from above-mentioned years. To conclude, the work summarizes the rhetorical refinement of M. Le Pen, in comparision with her father and the ways she presents information to the larger public (both in written, but also in...

Economic Performance of the EU and the USA: Comparative Analysis
Marek, Lukáš ; Urban, Luděk (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
Diploma thesis "Economic performance of the EU vis-à-vis the USA" deals with the issue of EU economic underperformance vis-à-vis the US economic efficiency. This negative trend can be observed since the early 70's. The analysis is based on the assumption that the economic gab between both economies rests on structural grounds. This paper focuses on two areas, which are important for economic growth in the EU. Firstly, it is the economic competition in the Common market. This theme is directly related to the process of European economic integration. The analysis indicates that good market accessibility for competitors stimulates productivity growth in the respective industry. However, firms in the Common market have to face higher barriers to entry and exit than their counterparts in the US. The second field of study deals with research and development in the member states. Present endogenous growth theories assume that technological progress is a crucial factor of long-term economic growth. European Common market should therefore create conditions favourable to business funded R&D so that more and better innovations can be introduced in Europe. However, the analysis indicates that the economic gab between the EU and the US takes place not just due to underdeveloped ICT and biotechnology sector. A great deal...

The Business Firm Model of Party Organisation: ANO 2011 and ANO
Smilnická, Julie ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
The thesis describes two political parties that have been established in Central Europe, namely ANO 2011 in the Czech Republic, and ANO in Slovakia, whose main common feature is that they are run as private business companies. The aim of the thesis is to conduct an analysis of these two political parties which builds on the "business-firm model" party theory. This theoretical concept was established in 1999 and is based on observations of FORZA ITALIA, an Italian political party. Although the business firm model is an emerging political concept, it has been growing in popularity recently in almost all European countries. The thesis introduces this theoretical concept in detail and applies it to the two cases present in the Czech and Slovak party system. Finally, the thesis compares the two parties with each other and identifies their similarities and differences.

Limits of conditionality policy in EU foreign policy
Radačičová, Simone ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Urban, Traian (referee)
The thesis deals with the analysis of the concept of conditionality that is applied in European Union's extemal relations with Cuba. The theoretical background determinates the conditions that can influence the efficiency of conditionality when applied to the developing countries. The relationship between Cuba and the EU is based on the Common position which was agreed in 1996. It set conditions that Cuba has to fulfill in order to normalize its links with the EU. In the 90s, EU ušed the positive conditionality with mixed results, but following the events of the spring 2003, the EU member States agreed on a tougher Stance, i.e. the adoption of diplomatic measures, in fact the negative conditionality. This approach brought a couple of negative effects and challenged the EU's influence on Cuban politics. Following the review the EU member States suspended the sanctions and in 2008 abolished the remaining diplomatic measures. Despite of its limits, the conditionality applied in the framework of realistic policy remains to be an important element in the relations between EU and Cuba. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The Union of democratic forces in comparison with the Civic forum in the years 1989-1992
Pospíchalová, Anežka ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Marková, Klára (referee)
The topic of this study is the formation and activity of Union of Democratic Forces in Bulgaria between 1989 and 1992 in comparison with the Civic Forum during the same time period. UDF was established in December 1989 as a reaction to weakening of the communist regime and dissatisfaction of the general public with the regime. Both political movements successfully became the main actors of roundtable negotiations with the representatives of regimes and as a result the movements had the chance to form the new democratic arrangements, especially pluralistic party systems. Meanwhile Civic Forum had a strong position during the roundtable negotiations thanks to the public support, Union of Democratic Forces had harder position because of strong popularity of Bulgarian Communist Party and insufficient internal organization. The differences in formation and development of both movements caused very different results - CF was able to participate in the governance of Czechoslovakia within months of its own estabilishment, UDF, on the other hand, formed a minority government almost two years after the formation of movement. Developlment and extinction of CF was much faster compared to UDF which slowly became marginalized after 2002. Both movements had large influence on party systems of newly-formed...
