Drug policy in the ex-Soviet states after the introduction of new policies in the West
Sharibzhanov, Ilyas ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Aslan, Emil (referee)
Ever since the fall of the Soviet Union, illicit drugs have begun flowing into the former Soviet states for local sale and consumption, as well as for further transit to Western European states. Though the former Soviet states claim to be dedicated to the global fight against drugs, their alleged connections to the criminal underworld and weak and underdeveloped state institutions raise doubts over the sincerity and capacity of their effort. In this diploma thesis the impact of illicit drugs and the depth of the state-crime nexus in the Former Soviet Union region is analyzed, also covering crime-terror nexus, crucial in understanding the crime-terror relationship for mutual profit. The study's results have shown that various FSU states have shown varying degrees of connection to the criminal world, posing an international security risk due to the criminal underworld's involvement with clandestine drug trade in connection with terrorist groups.

Mustafina, Marta ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kalibová, Květa (referee) ; Sidorenko, Alexandre (referee)
Quantum and tempo of population ageing process in the twelve countries of the former Soviet Union: Challenges, opportunities and public policies Abstract Population ageing is an omnipresent phenomenon which brings along unprecedented challenges to socio-economic development, especially to employment, social security and public health sectors. The broad goal of this doctoral thesis was to demonstrate that it is time to recognize the importance of population ageing and its dynamics even in the countries with relatively young population structures and to take urgent action through implementation of corresponding policy interventions in order to mitigate and eliminate the upcoming negative consequences and utilize potential opportunities. Research on population ageing in both more and less developed countries is abundant. However, amidst numerous studies, countries of the former Soviet Union remain largely overlooked. Besides, the quantum and tempo of population ageing have not been adequately addressed in the existing literature worldwide. This research addresses, to the best of our knowledge for the first time, those issues. Holistic approach to gap analysis was adopted to guide this study. The analysis was performed in three steps. The first step incorporated the identification and analysis of the observed...

Commonwealth of Independent States at the beginning of 21st century
Novotná, Eva ; Jiránková, Martina (advisor) ; Sudliankou, Aliaksandr (referee)
Commonwealth of Independent States is a regional organization consisting of states of former Soviet Union. Presently the importance of the region is growing, the reason is oil and mineral resources in certain member countries. Geopolitically and strategically it is a significant part of the world. The subject of my research is not only the Commonwealth as a whole, but it is also the research of the individual states, and especially its economies. I am comparing them with each other and trying to find their strengths and weaknesses. My bachelor thesis aim is to answer the question whether the CIS organization has the asset for its members and whether it helped them to start a new era of government with its own autonomy after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
