Repolonization and deconcentration: the importance of limiting foreign capital for the media market in Poland
Blažková, Karolína ; Moravec, Václav (advisor) ; Klimeš, David (referee)
The bachelor thesis aims to map the debate on the repolonization or deconcentration of the media in Poland after the 2015 elections when the Law and Justice party won. First, the thesis provides a basic overview of the Polish media market and its development after 1989, which is crucial for the entry of foreign investors. It also summarizes the developments surrounding the ruling party's efforts to push through two laws that could transform the ownership structure of the media, namely a law introducing a new tax on advertising and an amendment to the Broadcasting Act. These two bills were, according to experts, intended to fulfil the ruling Law and Justice Party's vision of repolonizing or deconcentrating the media. The paper then compares the amendment to the Broadcasting Act, which was intended to directly restrict foreign owners of audiovisual media in Poland, with existing legislation in other European countries such as France and Hungary. One of the chapters is devoted to the analysis of foreign capital in the Polish media market. The thesis does not omit the key event that is often referred to as 'repolonization in practice', i.e. the purchase of the regional media network Polska Press through the state-owned petrochemical company PKN Orlen. Polish politicians, journalists and media experts...

Personalization of Polish political parties after 2005
Harzer, Filip ; Kubát, Michal (advisor) ; Mlejnek, Josef (referee)
The aim of this Master's thesis called "Personalisation of Polish political parties after 2005" is to examine the process of personalisation among selected Polish political parties between the parliamentary elections in 2005 and the parliamentary elections in 2015, and to determine whether personalisation of Polish political parties increased after 2005. The thesis is based around the most well-known theories of personalisation of politics and a number of assumptions articulated by Polish experts on the subject. Personalisation is examined predominantly at an institutional level. The theoretical part presents different approaches to research the phenomenon, and defines three main concepts: personalisation, presidentialisation, and celebritisation. Several important personalised projects carried out in Poland between 1989 and 2005 are also described. The empirical part of the thesis analyses the level and development of personalisation within and outside the selected Polish political parties. This thesis does not strive to extend the theoretical concepts of personalisation of politics; instead, it aims to enrich the research of Polish politics after 2005.

Spišáková, Eva ; Zelená, Alena (advisor) ; Rydel, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the comparison of Polish and Czech public television system, the amendment to the media law designed by the Polish government's Law and Justice party in the years 2015 and 2016 and how this amendment reflected on the current state of Polish public television. In the comparison was used the Compliance method and four independent variables were defined: the definition of objectives and missions of public service media in Poland and the Czech Republic, the control bodies of Polish Television and Czech Television, the funding of Polish Television and Czech Television and the program offer of both televisions. Expert interviews conducted with Polish media experts personally or by telephone and media laws in both countries served as the main sources of the research. The main aim of this diploma thesis is to determine to what extent the media systems of public service televisions differ in both countries and how they are similar. The thesis focuses mainly on the relationship of political power and the media, answers the question of how political power in both countries seeks to enter into the financing and control of public media.

Polish Public Diplomacy and its Transformations
Straka, Daniel ; Knutelská, Viera (advisor) ; Karlas, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis is a case study focused on Polish public diplomacy as a tool of foreign policy and its changes between 2005 and 2019. The way how public diplomacy is exercised in the Polish case is significantly influenced by two factors - the size of the country or rather its influence and its geographic location, which is closely connected with particular societal, political and economic features with relation to the country's history. The aim of the thesis is to find out what are the foundations of polish public diplomacy, how it has been changed within the studied period and what it tells us about public diplomacy as a tool of foreign policy and the possibility of domestic actors to influence it. There is a deep cleavage between the two main political parties, which have alternated in government since 2005, and their preferences in domestic and foreign policy. Based on the outputs of Polish public diplomacy in four spheres - nation branding, cultural diplomacy, historical diplomacy and communication channels - and in organizational framework, the thesis analyses the interconnection between public diplomacy and foreign policy and also the strategy of Polish public diplomacy, taking into account the alternation of governing parties.

Politics of History during the Law and Justice era in Poland 2005 - 2007
Netolická, Zuzana ; Vykoukal, Jiří (advisor) ; Kubát, Michal (referee)
Politics of History in Poland have become the central theme of the Government of Law and Justice in the 2005 - 2007 period. The thesis deals with the definition of the term Politics of History and the term as understood by Law and Justice. The new direction of Politics of History prompted a lively debate in Poland between both Polish historians and the general public. The paper describes how the government conducted this policy and the tools utilized. One of their main motives was the delimitation of political developments in the country after 1989 and the lack of dealing with the communist past. For this reason, one of the subchapters of the work is devoted to significant historical discussions between 1989 and 2005. The central figures of the new direction of historical politics in Poland were brothers Jarosław and Lech Kaczyński, who had the greatest influence on the promotion of this policy in public discourse. In conclusion, the results of the two-year enforcement of historical politics.

Transformations of normative envrionment of public service media in Poland after 2015
Kunc, Kryštof ; Moravec, Václav (advisor) ; Lovaš, Karol (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with changes in normative environment in Polish public service media after 2015, after the beginning of the party's Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (Law and Justice) rule. We have limited our research by time limit, we follow the changes up to the end of year 2016. Using the method of analysis, namely the comparative analysis of the normative environment before and after 2015, we answer questions whether and how the normative environment has changed. In addition to the use of comparative analysis, we also answer these questions using testimonies from experts from the Polish academic sphere. Our conclusion is that normative environment has changed, the reality is moving away from the ideal attributes of the normative environment. The results of the thesis provide the basis for further exploration of Polish public service media, for example, for examination of content of their messages after the normative environment has changed.
