Coalition Games in a Dynamic Multiagent Environment
Hamran, Peter ; Uhlíř, Václav (referee) ; Zbořil, František (advisor)
The essence of this bachelor thesis was to implement an algorithm for suitable coalition forming in multi-agent system. Suitable coalition denotes a coalition which is not formed in super-additive environment and so it depends on its size and members. Aim of this thesis was to adjust an algorithm for coalition bounds forming between agents in a way, that it is applicable in a multi-agent competition MASSIM. Key aspects are amount of messages sent between agents for coalition to form and also a time it takes to calculate all coalitional values required for such a process. Final scenario is where two competitive groups of agents compete for resources in a multi-agent system simulation.

Cooperative game theory in dealing with local conflict
Ilavská, Adriana ; Mazal,, Jan (referee) ; Hrdina, Jaroslav (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on introducing terms and solution concepts of the Cooperative Game Theory. The mathematical apparatus is then applied to the hypothetical local conflict in Scandinavia and in the countries of former Yugoslavia. The aim of the thesis is to point out the range of possibilities for using the Cooperative Games in the field of International Relations. For hypothetical conflicting situations, the potential gain of different coalitions is expressed by a characteristic feature. For the composed games is calculated the Shapley's value, expressing the fair distribution of profits between individual players, and Myerson's value, taking into account the impossibility of creating some of the coalitions. The work provides interpretations of results in the field of International Relations. It points out a wide range of possible applications of Cooperative Game Theory when conflicts occur at international scene, where this application is not common.

Coalition behavior in the Republic of Ireland in the years 1937-2009
Kozáková, Lea ; Šušlíková, Lada (advisor) ; Říchová, Blanka (referee)
This thesis is focused on analysis of coalition behaviour in the Republic of Ireland in years 1937-2009 and individual governments in Ireland in the defined period. The work describes all aspects connected with this phenomenon. In the first part there are major institutions and fundamental characteristics of the Irish political system described. Also the development, main features and specifics of the party system is explained. This part includes the list of relevant parties, as the major participants of the government formation. In the main part of the work there are main factors identified and their influence on coalition behaviour and government's formation is evaluated. Specifically there is the influence of the political system, voting system, party system and also another factors analyzed. Substantial part of this work is concentrated on the typology of Irish governments and their classification according to the theory of coalitions. Especially role of two crucial parties - Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael - is emphasized. The work also explains the rules of government formation in Ireland, what is most common kind of government, how long is their durability and which specifics are with Irish government connected. During the writing of the thesis analytic and descriptive method has been used.

Movement ANO 2011 in Local Coalitions: Case Study of Large Cities
Hlušička, Filip ; Jüptner, Petr (advisor) ; Mlejnek, Josef (referee)
This diploma thesis presents Hnutí ANO 2011 as a Czech local governance participant. Having put emphasis on ANO's local organizations, the diploma thesis deals with particular situations in selected statutory cities during the 2014-2018 electoral cycle. As the electoral cycle went by, internal problems in local organizations emerged which ended up with party board abolishing some of the organizations. Coalitions in which ANO participated also were affected by those problems. In some cities, however, coalitions persisted and ANO local organizations had not suffer with internal problems, study of which also became a part of the research in the thesis. Having a strong leader from the business environment and limited membership, ANO 2011 is considered to be a business-firm party focused on marketing strategies and external specialists. As a typical business-firm party instance Forza Italia can be named, established in 1990s by Italian businessman and future prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. Business-firm party character of ANO may affect local governance where ANO's local organizations follow ANO party board's instructions and those organizations lack of autonomy to make their own political decisions.

The Formation of coalitions against the Islamic State
Pinkas, Šimon ; Kofroň, Jan (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
In this bachelor thesis, I will be exploring the process of formation of coalitions in the context of war against Islamic State in the region of Near and Middle East. Through this analysis, I will try to test the Balance of Threat theory, conceived by Stephen Walt, whose main assumption is a severe influence of the aspect of threat on the state's coalition policy. Coalitions are important phenomena on the international scene, often being crucial for the next political development, researching them is both instructive and beneficial. In this thesis, I will firstly summarize the assumptions of the theory concerning the formation of coalitions and follow up with the analysis of all state-actors participating in my research, according to the qualities needed for successful test of the theory. Then I will explore the coalition making process that led to formation of the main coalitions against ISIS. Finally, according to the data from this analysis, I will decide whether the Balance of Threat theory is or is not valid.

Effectiveness of the decision-making process in the WTO - the Uruguay and Doha round
Jánská, Lucie ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Kučerová, Irah (referee)
The study examines multilateral negotiation in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and later in the World Trade Organization. It analyses the effectiveness of the decision-making process on the liberalization of trade in agricultural products in the Uruguay and Doha rounds of negotiations. Agriculture seems to be the most problematic and the most controversial issue on the agenda during the both rounds of negotiations. The aim of the study is to analyse the negotiation processes in selected cases and compare them to identify factors explaining the difference in the effectiveness of the decision-making process between Uruguay and Doha round. The study also attempts to clarify why it is so complicated to conclude the Doha round after more than fifteen years of negotiations. Therefore, six factors with presumed influence on the effectiveness of the decision-making process are defined in the theoretical part of the study: number of actors, leadership, inclusiveness of negotiation, agenda complexity, coalitions and strategies of actors. The degree of influence of these factors is then tested in the practical part of the study. The study assumes that the efficiency of the decision-making process is increased by the reduced number of active actors in the negotiation, the willingness of the actors...

Local Coalitions: the Relevance of Ideological Distance
Hlaváč, Miroslav ; Jüptner, Petr (advisor) ; Švec, Kamil (referee)
The thesis analyses the influence of ideological distance to the formation of executive coalitions at the municipal level. The thesis attempts to determine which factors are reflected in the formation of executive coalitions, how the decision-making processes are functioning at the municipal level and what kind of actors we can determine in this processes. There is also a question if there is a difference between ideological distance of political actors at national and municipal level. Another part of the thesis deals with the possible cleavages between the long- term political subjects in the municipal council and the subjects, which are new in the municipal council. In the empirical part of the thesis there is a comparative case study on the sample of five municipalities from the municipal district of Pilsen-South - five largest municipalities in the district with the population over 3500 were examined: Přeštice, Dobřany, Blovice, Nepomuk and Stod. The field of research was conducted in these municipalities through the semi-structured interviews with the mayors and some other local politicians. An analysis of the election results in these municipalities is also included. This thesis should determine if the research about ideological distance at the municipal level has the meaningful purpose and...
