Ethnic minorities and conflicts in the postcommunist Europe: change of geographical pattern
Vojtěch, Vladimír ; Tomeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Dostál, Petr (referee)
This thesis assesses and explains changes of ethnic composition, that occured in post-communist countries of Europe and the Caucasus during 1990s. Implications are also thought. Quantitative as well as qualitative aspects of ethno-demographic changes are emphasized. Appraisal of demeanour of majority and of minorities and relations between them, which were influenced by expansion of nationalism and separatism, is objective. Points of departure are censuses 1989/1992 and 1999/2004 and estimates of international organizations alternatively. Assessing is carried out on the state and regional levels. For the purposes of the statistical analysis are used not only specially constructed indicators, but also visual and comprehensible methods of regression and correlation. Current ethnic composition of post-communist Europe is result of three ethnic processes - ethnic homogenization, polarization and even heterogenization. Homogenization concerned to the states with lower initial degree of ethnic homogeneity. Ethnic polarization - i. e. formation of two or more ethnically distinctive entities in one state - was also plentiful outcome. These processes were more powerful in war-stricken areas due to forcible migrations and ethnic cleansing. Natural increase, governmental ethnic policies and social atmosphere play...

Analysis of manufacturing industry in South Bohemia region
Kokoš, Roman ; Blažek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vojtěch, Vladimír (referee)
This paper will examine the economic and geographical analysis of companies in the manufacturing industry, located in the South Bohemia region. The theoretical concept chosen to examine this paper will be the Global Production Networks (GPN). This is used for the comparison of states and firms in the world economy. A decision was made to select a quantitative approach of studying selected GPNs. The subject area is to, analyse the economic activity and their results of 11 groups of companies according to their position in the GPN in reference to their hierarchy, ownership, function and size. Three data indicators will be used to support this analysis, Returns on Assets (ROA), Wages to Turnover (WTT) and Capital Expenditures to Turnover (CTT). This paper will find out which company type produces the best results and which can positively affect local development. This paper will also explore if there is any pattern on location, company category and its economical results. Key words: global production networks, manufacturing industry, South Bohemia, economical structure
