Bratislava and Prešpurk, profane sacrum
Bažíková, Mária ; Bindr, Tomáš (referee) ; Kiszka, Josef (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis was the ideological elaboration of the architectural study of the building of the civilo temple. The proposal follows the elaborated urban concept of reclamation of the sub-castle - the territory of the historical Vydrica area and its surroundings. The building is a conceptual translation of the term profane sacrum into an architectural formalization. The main ideology consists in transforming the term profan sacrum into an object that incorporates three spirits - the spirit of the place, the spirit of the mind and the spirit of the heart. Thus, an artistic complex will be created on the historical basis of the center of gravity of Bratislava history. The spirit of the place is represented by the historical formalization of the base of the building which refers to the defunct Fish Square, the spirit of the mind represents a complex of 3 objects of self-development: object of performing arts, gallery and temple- library, and the last object which represents the spirit of the heart is transferred to the community center building. The overall ideology is to create a place that will be accessible every day and will serve to build our inner spirit. To develop internally and become a better person. A place to perceive, a place to develop oneself, a place to help each other, a place to share. A place where I will learn to play the violin and in the next phase I will organize a concert in the auditorium for the community until the phase where I will teach others. A place where I learn to cook and then sell my products on the market. A place to help each other. Better place for individuals, better place for community, better place for Bratislava.

The bachelor thesis "The establishment and development of the Ciudadanos Party" focuses on the operation, programme and communication of the Spanish political party Ciudadanos- Partido de la Ciudadanía. The thesis examines the values of the party and their influence on policy-creating, and the shifts in the party's political programme since its foundation until the Spanish parliamentary election of 2019.

The Middle Eastern alliances: Analysis of relations and further development of the region
Eštoková, Denisa ; Aslan, Emil (advisor) ; Ditrych, Ondřej (referee)
Examining any topic in the Middle East requires a general knowledge because of the region's complexity and dynamics. Important characteristics is the link of Islam and politics, because this relation shaped political establishment of states. The strategic location and rich natural resources of this part of the world were tempting also for the global superpowers whose engagement divided the Middle Eastern states, particularly during the Cold War. An analysis of the factors and events that led to the formation of alliances and rivalries in the Middle East is the goal of this work. Research will focus on alliances of Iran and its Shia allies on the one hand and Saudi Arabia with the rest of Sunni monarchies on the other. Unlike other alliances mentioned in the work, these two blocks have long term character. They are also specific because of sectarian differences, their stance towards the United States and Israel and shared responses to emerging threats. Historical development of Middle Eastern alliances begins with the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, continues with the both World wars, the Israeli-Arab conflict, the Islamic revolution in Iran and other milestones which were meaningful in shaping inter-state relations in the region. The modern period moves from invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq to...

Why the Czech Republic postponed adoption of the euro currency?
Vošková, Martina ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Knutelská, Viera (referee)
The diploma thesis is devoted to explanation of Czech position towards European monetary integration. Even though Czechia is committed to adopt euro, the official term has not been set. The main purpose of a thesis is to answer why the Czech Republic postponed entrance into to eurozone indefinitely. The first chapter applies materialistic aspects of liberal intergovernmentalist theory into the Czech context by analysing economic interests on micro and macro level. Detailed cost-benefit analysis results in a slight favour of entrance. However, valid economic arguments on both sides and lack of interest group pressure allow government to adopt waiting strategy. Second analytical part incorporates constructivist theory, particularly defines Czech national identity and its effect on public opinion on eurozone. The thesis refuses exclusive character of the Czech identity and its ability to fully explain postponement of euro adoption. Thesis main contribution to international relation research is final chapter, which extends traditional integration theories by perspective of ideology. Ideological prism seems to present the most eloquent explanation of the Czech position, especially dominance of firstly the Eurosceptic ODS and then populist party ANO, as well as conservative stance of CNB. Despite the fact that...

The holocaust as a social phenomenon
Moravská, Dorota Tabitha ; Petrusek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Kotík, Michal (referee)
The work deals with Holocaust denial as a social phenomenon that is considered to be a form of anti-Semitism. It describes the roots of Holocaust denial in Europe and in the USA and its subsequent extension in other parts of the world, focusing especially on Arabic/ Muslim countries where this phenomenon represents part of the official propaganda and constitutes and active element of Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The thesis then depicts the methodology of Holocaust denial which leads to the thought that the Holocaust denial is a means used by individuals or groups whose goal is to enforce their broader ideological intentions and thus in its fundamental nature it resembles the activities of totalitarian ideologies and regimes for whom history manipulation has been an effective strategy. At the end, based on the findings of sociological research, the paper tries to outline the extent of success of the Holocaust denier's effort in broader public.
