The Cyprus Crisis in 1974 and the Role of the United Nations
Lauer, Maroš ; Horčička, Václav (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
This thesis explores the impact of the UN on the development of the Cyprus crisis from its beginning until its peak in 1974. This impact is analysed on two levels: 1. Negotiations of the Cyprus Crisis during the UN Security Council and General Assembly meetings and their effects on the escalation of the local situation in Cyprus. 2. Activities of the peacekeeping mission UNFICYP since its establishment in 1964 until the division of Cyprus ten years later. For the purpose of examination of the aforementioned, both detailed historical analyses, as well as theoretical concepts from international relations theory are used in this paper. The paper describes the evolution of the Cyprus Problem as a dynamic process, which needs to be perceived in its full extent, thus it is not concentrated only on the period of 1960s and 1970s, but describes original sources and causes of the conflict.

The Rise of the Radical Left in Europe (Syriza and Podemos)
Bošanská, Barbora ; Mejstřík, Martin (advisor) ; Handl, Vladimír (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the rise of the radical left in Europe. The aim of this thesis is to introduce radical left parties and to answer the question, whether the Greek party SYRIZA influenced the Spanish movement Podemos. The transfer should be based on examples. The first part presents the theoretical frame of the topic, especially the theory of policy transfer, which is the main theoretical pillar of this thesis. It also contains the theory of left-wing populism which defines the parties ideologically and explains the nature of their policy. The next part describes the causes of the rise in popularity of the radical left. It also deals with the origins, ideology and political programmes of SYRIZA and Podemos. In the last, research sections, the theory of policy transfer is applied on specific examples. Topics are divided into 3 parts - economic area, social measures and foreign policy. The degree of policy transfer is based on analysing the primary and secondary sources.

Public-private partnerships and their praxis in EU member states
Sisková, Monika ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Němec, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this final thesis is to analyse and compare the PPP practices of EU member states and to evaluate the current situation of their PPP markets as well as the issues faced at present. The study consists of four chapters. The first chapter deals with the theoretical and legal concept of public-private partnerships: the definition of PPPs, their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of PPPs and the factors influencing the success of PPP projects. The section thereafter analyses the position and role of the EU, EIB and EBRD in promoting and supporting the implementation of PPP projects. The section is followed by an assessment of the PPP market development trend, high lightening the basic quantitative differences between the EU member states. Chapter four forms the core of this thesis in which, based on specified criteria (legal and institutional PPP conditions, average value of a project, corruption, transparency and the nature of the public sector) the PPP praxis of Great Britain, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Poland and Slovakia are analysed and compared. The states are characterized by national PPP markets of diverse quality as well as significant differences in the national conditions for implementing PPP projects.
