Global sport events: the mechanisms of their attributing to the host countries
Mácová, Veronika ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Martinková, Viera (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the global sport event - FIFA World Cup. The topic of the thesis is relevant as it impacts not just the sport. FIFA World Cup can influence the economy and politics of the host country. The goal of the thesis is to determine factors influencing the allocation of the host country for the FIFA World Cup and factors leading countries to withdraw from the host bidding process. The thesis is influenced by the analysis of Paul Poast, Wolfgang Maennig, and Christopher Vierhaus, who examined the factors influencing the allocation of the Olympic Games host cities. The diploma thesis is quantitative research and logistic regression analysis is adopted. The regression analysis results indicate that country's previous experience in organizing global sports events, the size of its population, and the average GDP growth of the country influences the allocation of hosting of the FIFA World Cup. Countries decide to withdraw primarily due to small population size and high percentage of mineral resources in the country's GDP. In the both cases, the human rights factors are insignificant for the decision process.

Disputes Between States and Federation in the USA: A Case Study of Cannabis Legalization
Pohořská, Barbora ; Kozák, Kryštof (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
Bakalářská práce Spory mezi státy a federací v USA: Případová studie legalizace konopí Barbora Pohořská Abstrakt v anglickém jazyce This bachelor thesis focuses on relationships between the federal government and the state governments in the United States. The paper tries to find out how the conflicts between the two players in the case of marijuana legislation are resolved. Marijuana is considered to be illegal under the U. S. federal law. Some states, however, the use, possession, and cultivation of limited amount of the drug under different conditions allow. Because of that, a conflict of federal and state laws occurs. This paper tries to determine how such conflicts are resolved; whether the federal legislature prevails the state one or vice versa, or whether the parties approach some mutual compromise. The paper characterizes federal and state marijuana legislation, and deals with the attitudes and reactions of the federal authorities and the courts to state laws. It also recognizes recent change in attitude of the federal authorities, which tends to confirm the assumption that the states and the federation coexist together in a certain way.
