Comparative Analysis of Renewable Energy Sources in the Selected European Countries
Konečný, David ; Borecká, Marcela (referee) ; Ellederová, Eva (advisor)
Cílem této bakalářské práce je poskytnout informace o obnovitelných zdrojích energie v Německu a v České republice, a to zejména z pohledu historického vývoje, energetické politiky, využití a možností dalšího rozvoje těchto technologií. Po shrnutí klíčových událostí a smluv s přímým vlivem na obnovitelné zdroje, práce analyzuje danou problematiku v Německu včetně energetické transformace této země, nazvané Energiewende. Stejná metodologie je použita při analýze obnovitelných zdrojů energie v České republice včetně srovnání finanční podpory obnovitelných zdrojů v obou zemích. Práce je zakončena kapitolou o vlivu, dopadech a možných důsledcích německé energetické přeměny na energetický sektor České republiky.

Energy policy of the Federal republic of Germany towards the Russian Federation during the Angela Merkel era
Kavan, Vilém ; Jeřábek, Martin (advisor) ; Karlas, Jan (referee)
This thesis focuses on German energy policy towards the Russian federation during Angela Merkel's leadership as Chancellor of Germany (2005-2021). The primary focus is the import of Russian natural gas to Germany and related projects such as Nord Stream and Nord Stream II. The aim of this thesis is to answer the research question of whether the energy interests of the Federal Republic of Germany have led to an increase in its dependence on the Russian Federation. The thesis analyses the German approach towards both their own energy policy and the policy of the Russian Federation and aims to contextualise this with data connected with Russian gas exports to Germany. The analysis shows that the Federal Republic of Germany ran its energy policy towards the Russian Federation independently of Russian policy actions and the wider criticism received from various German partners. The conclusion of the thesis is that the energy policy of the Federal Republic of Germany conclusively led to an increase in its dependence on the Russian Federation.

Energy-Economy Nexus: a meta-analysis
Kocianová, Agáta
The aim of the thesis is to identify whether there is a consensus in the field of Energy-Economy Nexus literature. The used econometric methods serve to conduct the systematic review of empirical literature to investigate the presence of a significant evidence for any form of (Granger) causality and the prevailing type of the causality, with regard to the influence of multiple study characteristics, such as the geographic area, sample size, length of the study period, etc. Partial goal of the thesis is to review the factual relevance of the empirical literature for the policy makers. Notably whether the influential papers (as indicated by the number of citations) are also reflected, for example in the EU, US or OECD policy documents.

Multilevel governance in the field of renewable energy: The Case of Brittany
Kasalová, Michaela ; Tomalová, Eliška (advisor) ; Mejstřík, Martin (referee)
The master's thesis Multi-level governance in the field of renewable energy: the case of Brittany focuses on the development of renewable energies in the French region of Brittany. The theoretical approach is based on the distinction of two types of multi-level governance developer by Hooghe and Marks. The thesis aims to investigate whether these two types can be found in the case of Brittany. Changes in the position of the region on the energy field caused by the process of energy transition are also addressed. The development of energy policy at the European level is described since it has decisive influence on the renewable energy sources. The EU set binding targets through its Climate and Energy Package which are then transposed to the national level. The thesis continues by investigating the role of the French regions in the field of renewable energy and comes to the conclusion that the regions have been empowered through the process of energy transition. Regions are actively involved in the development of renewable energy as is shown in the case of Brittany; nevertheless, they are still dependent on the decisions taken at the national level.

Comparation of official energy policies of SR between 1998-2012
Mačuga, Radovan ; Petříček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Romancov, Michael (referee)
The main aim of this bachelor's thesis is analysis of official energy policies of the Slovak Republic in the period of time from 1998 to the presence. The thesis is conducted in the spirit of methods of qualitative research, namely diachronic interpretative comparative study. The primary aim of the thesis is to analyse official strategic documents dealing with the energy policy in the examined time period. The paper deals with two research tasks. First task of the paper is to examine whether there is continuity among individual strategic documents, as well as whether there is continuity among the goals which are set within these documents. In other words, the aim is to find out whether these documents are knit together. The second aim is to find out to what extent where these goals set in strategic documents fulfilled in the reality. In other words, the paper aims to examine whether policies undertaken by the executive of the Slovak republic were in accordance with official energy policies.

Energy policy of the EU towards Russia: 2000-2013
Koutník, Jan ; Litera, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
The interdependence of the EU and Russia in the energy sector led to the establishment of "EU-Russia Energy Dialogue" in 2000. Since its formation the Dialogue had to face various external influences, including two Russia-Ukraine gas disputes in 2006 and 2009 during which the gas supplies to the EU were interrupted. The Bachelor's thesis examines, how the Dialogue answered to the consequences of the gas crises. Firstly this paper analyses the development of the Dialogue between 2000 and 2013, as well as the impacts of the two crises. The reactions of the Dialogue to the crises are presented by the comparison of the Dialogues work before and after they occurred. The author concludes that although there were some responses, EU and Russia didn't manage to sufficiently resolve the most challenging issues, including the ongoing problems with the transit states and the energy infrastructure security.

Intergovernmental relations in the field of energy policy between the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany in years 2004 - 2014
Mjartanová, Zuzana ; Handl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Nigrin, Tomáš (referee)
Presented diploma thesis is disciplined interpretative case study, which examines bilateral relations in energy field between the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany in between 2004 - 2014. The thesis analyses intergovernmental relationship between the two actors using Andrew Moravcsik's Liberal Intergovernmentalist Approach theory. The aim of the diploma thesis is to define the character of such a relationship and its development throughout the defined period. To this goal, three hypotheses have been set. They focus on the asymmetry of mutual relations, impact of economic interests on their formation and on possible transfer of unsolved issues to the EU level. National interest is being defined throughout the strategic documents analysis. First chapter defines actors, who represent the state in mutual relations and advocate national preferences. Second chapter analyses bilateral contacts, the frequency of energy connected issues at the bilateral meetings and the shifts in the relationship. Third chapter examines the area of unplanned power flows from Germany to the Czech Republic as they represent the most pressing issue in bilateral energy relations. Mutual cooperation is assessed in the last part of the second and third chapter. In its conclusions, the diploma thesis verifies all presented...
