Černý, Robert ; Ševčíková, Michaela (advisor) ; Štípek, Vladimír (referee)
The aim of the submitted thesis is macroeconomic analysis, comparison and evaluation of nominal and real convergence of the Visegrad Group states with EU-15 states. By the help of regression model, one can state that in years 2004--2008 countries of V4 reached Beta - convergence with EU-15. However, this did not hold for the critical period in 2008--2012 when mainly Hungary lagged behind. There was proved a positive relationship between real and nominal convergence wherewith Balassa-Samuelson Effect for EU states was confirmed. The Czech Republic has always shown a lower nominal value than it would correspond to its GDP per capita, still it approximated to regression line over time. Other V4 states registered inverse course. During period 2004--2012, the Czech Republic performed Maastricht conver-gence criteria best from V4 states. Contrariwise, Hungary had the worst position of the ob-served period.

Stanová, Zuzana ; Druláková, Radka (advisor) ; Cibulková, Petra (referee)
Nowadays, there are numerous regional and universal international organizations. The objective of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the importance of one of them, the Visegrad Group. The importance of the Visegrad Group is observed in term of fulfilling the functions of international organizations. This thesis introduces in the first (theoretical) part different typologies of functions of international organizations, other (analytical) parts of the thesis tie in with the theoretical one and provide short overview of some examples of (not) fulfilling the six observed functions. The Visegrad Group doesn't fulfil adequately all the observed functions, therefore it is also considered to be an international regime. Moreover, some of the functions are fulfilled by other international organizations, which the Visegrad Group member states are the members of. This fact waters down the importance of the Visegrad Group.
