The Leading Role of the State in the Process of the Formation of the Public Institutes in the Contemporaneous Russia
Sorokin, Anton ; Litera, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
The Thesis is focused on the leading role of the Russian state in the process of the Formation of the Public Institutes in the Contemporaneous Russia. As a theoretic basis of the thesis we use the institutional approach. The State has always played a significant role in Russia. All the reforms were initiated by the governing structures. The reforms were characterized by enormous concentration of the human and material sources. As a result the Russian people are quite conservative and distrustful of any possible changes. The Russian National Mentality (RNM) due to the historical experiences is more Asiatic than European. But at the moment we can observe some globalization movements in Russia that could have an impact to the RNM changing on the basis of the European liberal patterns. The State in transitional economic systems should play a leading role because only State could be a guarantor of the legality of perpetual transitions. In the Contemporaneous Russia the State is traditionally a strong partner of the other two main actors of the institutional economy: firms and households.

Irregular Female Labour Migration from Ukraine for Labour to the Elderly Care Sector in Italy
Zibner, Rahel ; Svoboda, Karel (advisor) ; Ledeneva, Alena (referee)
This research deals with irregular female migration from Ukraine to Italy for employment as caregivers to the elderly. The main questions to be addressed are: 'What are the reasons for Ukrainian women to migrate irregularly to such a large extent to Italy? Which important aspects are connected to their employment as a caregiver to the elderly from the individual point of view of Ukrainian women? In this thesis I want to explain the reasons for Ukrainian women to take up work as irregular caregivers in Italy, giving insight into the organization of daily life of irregular Ukrainian care givers. Practical examples will be given that examine the help women receive from Ukrainian professional and private networks. Despite information gaps, the combination of expert and migrant interviews in combination with the analysis of research studies and secondary sources produced important findings on this topic. Firstly, irregular female migration is economically motivated and women are driven to Italy through specific push and pull factors. Secondly, employment and daily life as a caregiver to the elderly in Italy entails economic advantages, but psychological disadvantages for Ukrainian women. 1

Russia-OSCE relations: a Balance between National Interests and Security Commitments
Villegas Cara, Francisco Manuel ; Svoboda, Karel (advisor) ; Aslan, Emil (referee)
The dissertation deals with the state of the relations between the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Russian Federation. The main questions to be addressed are: "Has the Russian attitude towards the OSCE changed? How has Russia dealt with the OSCE in the last years? Do the OSCE security commitments play any role in the formation of the Russian foreign policy?" To answer these questions different approaches from international relations theories have been used, but especially, those that better reflect the importance of national constrains in foreign affairs. The formation of national interests is therefore, a key element to understand and assess the evolution of the Russian foreign policy and, subsequently, the evolution of the OSCE- Russia relations. A case of study is included to show better how Russian policies upon the OSCE have evolved from a positive engagement towards scepticism about the future of Russia within the Organisation. 1
