Human rights in Islam: Comparation of the status of women in Turkey and Saudi Arabia
Poustková, Karolína ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Šabacká, Yvona (referee)
The thesis studies the human rights in Islam and evaluates them in concrete comparison of Muslim women's position in two different Muslim countries. It approaches two main human rights concepts: universalism and cultural relativism and describes the system and structure of Islamic law which determine all Muslims and Muslim society and therefore human rights perception itself. The diploma work follows two main goals:1) analysis of human rights from Islamic perspective, namely by its confrontation with prevalent universal model of human rights and 2) comparison of the status of Muslim woman in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The thesis is logically divided into four consequential parts. First two chapters introduce to theoretical issues of human rights and Islamic religion, the two other pivotal parts are concentrated on the above mentioned set goals. The objectivity of the thesis should be ensured by using various foreign-language sources of information from which studies and reports of international organizations such as United Nations, Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International form a considerable part.

Position of The Middle East Countries in The World Trade
Rybová, Kateřina ; Steinmetzová, Dana (advisor) ; Vondrušková, Barbora (referee)
Střední východ je velice specifickou součástí světové ekonomiky. Jedná se o politicky nestabilní region, který je i hospodářsky a sociálně značně nestejnorodý. Nepříznivé přírodní podmínky jsou příčinou potravinové nesoběstačnosti a nutí většinu ekonomik zemědělské produkty a potraviny dovážet. Na druhou stranu disponuje oblast Perského zálivu ohromným ropným bohatstvím. Proto zde najdeme největší producenty a exportéry ropy na světě. "Černé zlato" se stalo nejvýznamnější vývozní komoditou těchto států a ropný průmysl představuje stěžejní odvětví jejich národního hospodářství. I v současné době si Střední východ stále udržuje pozici důležitého dodavatele ropy.
