Bachelor's thesis Nicolas Sarkozy's reflection in the news of ČTK in a period of Czech European Union Presidency pursues French president Nicolas Sarkozy's activities in a period of Czech Presidency from 1st January to 30th June 2009. The Czech Republic was the second post-communist country after Slovenia which was the leader of the European Union so our Presidency received much interest. At the beginning, the Czech Republic as well as its Presidency was in a shadow of France which led the European Union before and its President Nicolas Sarkozy whose Presidency was very ambitious and dynamic. The aim of this thesis was to find out, how the news corresponded with Sarkozy's qualitites. Whether the news corresponded and Nicolas Sarkozy was really portrayed as the hyperactive and tireless politician, or his picture was the different, and the news of ČTK did not correspond with his characteristic properties. The second part of the thesis was a quantitative analysis of all news which in the text news of ČTK about Nicolas Sarkozy issued in the pursued period, and the detailed analysis of their metadata. These are always for clarity put and summarized in the tables. In some cases, I used graphs for better visibility. More detailed graphs of the quantity of news issued for each month are listed in the annexe.

Jedličková, Markéta ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Tomalová, Eliška (referee)
Diploma thesis "National identity in France and its role in the politics of Nicolas Sarkozy" deals with national identity as a political instrument used by the former French president Nicolas Sarkozy during his five-year term (2007-2012). The main objective of this work is to prove that the national identity in his discourse served to increase his popularity or to obtain far-right voters and that Nicolas Sarkozy used this policy instrument throughout his mandate despite the fact that he officially turned away from it after a failed public debate on the subject in 2010. As methodological basis for research on the topic and achievement of the objectives "critical discourse analysis" was selected and also "analysis of metaphors" was used as its complement. In the theoretical part of the thesis some of the basic scientific findings that deal with the "nation", "identity" and the development and construction of "national identity" are presented and discussed . The research consists of three main chapters devoted to the analysis of Nicolas Sarkozys' speeches during the given period. Chapters are divided according to the changing role of national identity in Sarkozy's political discourse - from the campaign tool in 2007, through the recovery of this instrument in 2009 and 2010 to its insertion in the...

Project Grand Paris of Nikolas Sarkozy
Filipi, Petra ; Tomalová, Eliška (advisor) ; Emler, David (referee)
Thesis "Project Grand Paris of Nicolas Sarkozy" deals with a plan of the French president to completely rebuild the city of Paris. Grand Paris continues in the legacy of "Grands travaux", architectural projects of previous French presidents such as the Louvre Pyramids or the Pompidou Centre. The main part of the work is focused on Sarkozy's vision of administrative reorganization of the Ile-de-France region which was supposed to create a new central administrative body that would comprise Paris and surrounding suburbs. It tracks the period from the first Sarkozy's speech in June 2007 to his retirement in May 2012. In order to clarify the context of the whole project I will present the history of changes in the Paris administration which has led to Sarkozy's initiative. This work will examine the reasons to start such initiative, suggested methods that would be used to implement desired changes and the impact of the 2008 municipal elections on the future form of Grand Paris. Once the left-wing parties won these elections, Sarkozy abandoned the whole idea of the administrative reorganization of the region and the project continued in a significantly limited form.
