Think-tanks-and Their Role in the New EU Member States:Czech and Slovak Experience
Pitoňáková, Lívia ; Pešková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Vymětal, Petr (referee)
V práci jsou analyzovány kořeny, vývoj, současné postavení, hrozby a výzvy think-tanků v České a Slovenské republice. Srovnání s jejich tradicí ve Spojených státech zkoumá přenositelnost amerického "modelu" think-tanků do střední a východní Evropy. Tento přenos je značně omezený a krátkodobě nerealizovatelný vzhledem k rozdílným legislativním podmínkám a nerozvinuté filantropii. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována motivům k vytváření regionálních i mezinárodních sítí think-tanků. Práce vychází jednak z dosavadní literatury na toto téma, jednak z dotazníkového šetření.

In the first chapter, the reader is acquired with the theoretical aspects of the issue. The second chapter forms the core of the work and analyzes the individual results of parliamentary elections and the newly emerging political parties. In the last third chapter the author on the silhouette of the previous chapter's findings analyzes the systemic changes in civil society in Slovakia during the given period.
Affirmative action or positive discrimination?
Buldrová, Andrea ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Vymětal, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with the idea of affirmative action and its importance in the development of American society. The main goal is to analyze the effects of affirmative action and to evaluate its positive and negative impacts. The thesis has following structure. At first the theory and basic defenitions of affirmative action and other connected terms are explained. The second part is oriented on historical development of the fight against discrimination and for equal rights of minorities and women. Since 60's it focuses directly on affirmative action programs. At the same time the public stance is examined as well as the main influeces that were and are able to change it. That is why this work deals with some concrete Supreme Court cases which played an essential role in changing the focus and popularity of affirmative action. Particular Supreme Court sentences acted in both directions - there are some cases which were judged in favor of institutions practising affirmative policy or of a member of a group which had to face past discrimination. On the other hand, some sentences led to the end of such programs, especially in 80's when many conservative justices were nominated by president Ronald Reagan. The present situation and the future of affirmative action depend fundamentally on the stance of U.S. administration. The new one around president Barack Obama gives hope to affirmative policy and its supporters.

Catalonia in the EU
Nováčková, Kateřina ; Pešková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Vymětal, Petr (referee)
Práce pojednává o možnostech Katalánska, jiných španělských autonomních komunit a evropských regionů ovlivňovat rozhodování v EU. Po vstupu do Unie musely autonomní komunity implementovat evropskou legislativu, která zasahovala do oblastí, kde dosud měly výlučné pravomoci, bez možnosti tuto legislativu ovlivnit. Práce analyzuje, jak Katalánsko a jiné autonomní komunity usilují o možnost podílet se na evropském rozhodovacím procesu, na jaké limity ze strany EU a španělské centrální vlády naráží a jaké nástroje při prosazování svých zájmů používají. Důležitá část je věnována reformě katalánského autonomního statutu, který byl pro zapojení Katalánska do rozhodovacího procesu EU významným posunem.
