Kultová, Dana ; Vymětal, Petr (advisor) ; Školkayová, Marta (referee)
Corruption is one of the major problems of modern society and it must be actively addressed. This issue puts in target international non-profit and non-governmental organisation Transparency International, which deals with mapping and combating corruption in many countries around the world. First part of the theses defines corruption in theoretical way. The second part introduces the organisation of Transparency International in general and the last part is about projects organised by Transparency International in Visegrad Four. As these countries have a similar historical development and a close geographic location they could be considered as a suitable sample in comparing corruption activities and especially in comparing projects of Transparency International and its national chapters. The main task of this work is to find out whether trends to corruption are in Visegrad Four identical or similar and Transparency International could implement its projects in more countries at once or whether it is necessary to deal with corruption in each country individual. Whether the countries face the same problems of corruption arises here a second question if national chapters are cooperating on these projects eliminating corruption or not.

Corruption and Economic Growth
Klepek, Cyril ; Běláčková, Vendula (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
The paper focuses on the issue of corruption and its affect on economic growth. In examining these effects, the study directs its attention at the European Union and is divided into two parts. In the empirical section, the results of a regressive analysis confirm the initial hypothesis of the negative effect of corruption on economic performance. The study then describes the effects of corruption on economic growth using direct and transmission mechanisms. The theoretical part of this study presents information on the problems of this phenomenon in terms of its identification and measurement. The study also considers the differing situations in European Union Member States and disproves the assumption that the EU is divided into the corrupt east and non-corrupt west. In view of the confirmation of the negative effect of corruption on GDP growth, the study presents possible solutions, which in particular call for the need for an effective and enforceable legal system.
