European Monetary Union: Optimum Currency Area Index
Gouri Boyinová, Sumudu Namali ; Maitah, Mansoor (advisor) ; Anna, Anna (referee)
This goal of this diploma thesis is to compare and evaluate Euro area member states using the optimum currency area index (OCA index). Optimum currency area (OCA) theory serves as a guideline when analysing the selected Euro area countries. The thesis attempts to calculate the OCA index and the alternative OCA calculation (CNB) for Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Germany, Estonia, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, and Slovakia. The results indicate that the traditional OCA index to a certain extent explains exchange rate variability. It concludes that the design of the OCA index is not considered adequate for the current economic environment, and we do not consider it an appropriate benchmark (in its original form) to determine if the country is suitable to become a member of the monetary union.

Kingdom of Spain: from decentralization to an independent states? Efforts of Catalonia
Maľárová, Soňa ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Fleissner, Kamil (referee)
The main point of this thesis is to analyze the status of Catalonia in Spain and the relationship between them. In recent years, in European and even in the worldwide media we can read about the efforts for the Catalan independence with the aim of creating an independent Catalan state. A theoretical analysis of the formation of constitutional arrangement and its vertical structure is instrumental for getting to the heart of the matter. The twentieth century is characterized by the development of democracy and the emergence of new states. Theory of decentralization and separatism are integral parts of these processes. To elucidate the events and the incentives to the efforts for the Catalan independence from Spain is described by the acquisition of Catalan autonomy, since its establishment II. Spanish Republic. By examining political, economic and social spheres, it is clear that Catalonia will continue to seek independence and the creation of an independent state. For now, it appears appropriate to continue the dialogue with the Central Government of Spain and to find common solutions to the project in a conflict-free way. The contribution of this thesis is to clarify for the Czech and Slovak public the Catalan efforts to create an independent state. If the goals of these separatist endeavours are achieved, both the Czech Republic and Slovakia will have to express their opinion on the international recognition of the Catalonian independency.
