U.S. monetary and fiscal policy since Great Depression to the present
Lochmanová, Kristýna ; Babin, Jan (advisor) ; Čermáková, Klára (referee)
In my bachelor's work I would like to focus on monetary and fiscal policy of the U.S. since the Great Depression to the present. My work will focus especially on three main topics. In the first part I will try to summarize the causes and consequences of the Great Depression, in another part I will pay attention to 1950s and 1960s in which the Keynesian theory prevailed. Finally I will try to find out if there are any common elements of the financial crisis in 1930s and of the current one. Seeing that I want to reveal the causes of the Great Depression, on which I will base my findings later, I will devote a few words to the characteristics of the golden era in the 1920s at the beginning of my work.

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.

Analysis of the WTO Dispute on Trade with GMOs
Everett, Kirstin Elizabeth ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Zamykalová, Miroslava (referee)
In 2003 the United States filed an official complaint against the European Community at the World Trade Organization in regards to the ban imposed on GM crops within the EU, saying that there was no scientific defense for their point of view, and this had created barriers to trade. After one of the longest dispute settlement in WTO history, the body sided with the US and deemed the ban to be restricting free trade. Conflicting research on the safety of GM crops has further complicated the matter and many members of the EU are still choosing to ban GM crops in defiance of the WTO ruling.

Černá, Veronika ; Urbánek, Václav (advisor)
This thesis covers financing of higher education in USA. American higher education must not depend only on state or federal finances. Colleges and universities need to find other resources. Grants and private sector resources compensate low level of state/federal subsidies. First part describes the most important financial resources of today, separately for private and state colleges - federal grants, tuition, local and state government contributions. Next, paper deals with crossover from supporting schools to supporting students and the actual state of tuition levels. In the second part, a brief outline of students'financial aid is given. Federal government manages great amount of money for this particular purpose. Accesibility of higher education in the USA is at the peak, there are currently 18 million students and the number is still rising. Thesis contains charts, graphs and tables to illustrate current situation as well.
