German Energy Policy in the Context of the Foreign Policy of the FRG
Chrpa, Jiří ; Handl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Nigrin, Tomáš (referee)
This master thesis called "The German energy policy in the context of the foreign policy of the FRG" deals with the energy policy and its transfer abroad. The aim of this study is to answer the questions, whether Germany makes efforts to transfer its policy, whether the transfer occurs and, if so, what kind of actors are actively involved in it, what type of transfer it is and what is the result. The first part is dedicated to the theoretical frame of the topic, especially to the concept of policy transfer, which is the main theoretical pillar of this work. The second part deals with the formation of the German energy policy at the domestic level - with the historical and social context, the motives for eventual policy transfer and the attitudes of key actors: German government (with an emphasis on the Chancellor), political parties and industry. The next two chapters are devoted to the policy transfer on the bilateral level to the neighbouring Czech Republic and on the multilateral level to the European Union. It turns out that the roots of "Energiewende" can be found in the historical development of Germany and the main features of this policy have a consensual support of the key actors on the German level. Germany is a pioneer of a new energy policy model, whose success is however not yet...

The Comparison of Approaches towards the Education of Roma in the Czech Republic and in the United Kingdom
Modlitbová, Jitka ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Zelinková, Anna (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to compare the approaches towards education of Roma pupils at primary schools in the Czech Republic and Great Britain. The thesis identifies British good practices that could be implemented in Czech environment and explores the conditions that have tobe fulfilled for a successful implementation of these good practices. A theoretical framework of policy transfer is used to determine the conditions of a successful transfer. The thesis describes the history and the present of Roma education in the Czech lands and identifies problematic points that lead not only to the persisting segregation and to deepening of unequal access to education, but also to a severe disruption of social cohesion. Using the interviews with experts on education, the thesis identifies the policies used for inclusion of Roma pupils in the mainstream education in Great Britain. The thesis also focuses on the role of expert opinions during the policy transfer and it tries to find out whether there is a relationship between shared policy beliefs and shared opinions on particular policies or whether there are other factors taken into account when the experts formulate their opinions.

Education policy transfer: case study of Slovakia inspired by Finland
Gardošíková, Daša ; Skálová, Barbora (advisor) ; Vykoukal, Jiří (referee)
to the thesis Education policy transfer: case study of Slovakia inspired by Finland Abstract Bachelor Thesis Education policy transfer: case study of Slovakia inspired by Finland deals with the case study of the Slovak education system, whose planned reform is inspired by the generally positive perception of the Finnish model. The Slovak Ministry of Education expressed its decision to reform the Slovak education system based on the Finnish one-structure model in the National Education and Training Development Program. This decision can be defined as an attempt to voluntarily transfer education policies. The research is conducted on three levels. First of all, the thesis deals with the motivation of Slovakia to reform its system based on the Finnish model with an emphasis on the role of international rankings in education, especially PISA rankings. The focus of the thesis is a comparative analysis, which aims to thoroughly compare and describe six selected criteria (characteristics - geographical, historical, political; development of education systems, structure of education systems, financing of education, inclusion in education and the position of teachers) related to the transfer of education policy between Finland and Slovakia and their overall context. The thesis points out, in particular, the...

Trnka, Jan ; Nigrin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mlsna, Petr (referee)
Jan Trnka, "German-Chinese Rule of Law Dialogue: Quantitative Analysis of Projects, 2000- 2010" (bachelors' thesis, Charles University, 2011): 57 s. During the last 10 years, the German-Chinese Rule of Law Dialogue (Deutsch-Chinesischer Rechtsstaatsdialog) has developed into one of the most significant axes of Sino-German relations. Although the attention is paid to its yearly official symposia, its core is has been formed by various state actors, academic institutions and NGOs that have administrated its long-term projects (such as consulting service in various fields of rule of law, but also research in international law, translation of both sides' legislation, joint curricula etc.). Naturally, these partial projects differ significantly in its thematic scope, profile of attendees and also in its formats. Therefore, the thesis is focused on providing at least partial answers to most pressing issues, the dialogue faces today which is the thematic relevance and measurable achievements of its primary objectives. Firstly, the analysis focuses on broader historical, political and practical motives for the establishment of the rule of law dialogue. Its normative part focuses on political discourse over the main aims of the future mechanism. The second quantitative chapter provides detailed description...
