The impact of government expenditure on economic growth in Kenya
Gitonga, Betty Muthoni
This thesis sought to understand the effect of government expenditure on economic growth in Kenya. The thesis was anchored by the theories of economic growth. Government expenditure was disaggregated into government investment and government consumption spending. The estimation also included control variables that determine economic growth these were labour force participation rate which captured labour, investment which captures the level of capital in the economy, inflation which indicates the macroeconomic conditions, gross secondary school enrolment to indicate the human capital, and political instability which indicates the institutional quality. The analysis was done using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL). The thesis period was 1980 – 2022. In both the short-run and the long-run government consumption was found to have an insignificant effect on economic growth. Government investment was found to have a positive and statistically significant effect on economic growth in both the short-run and long-run. Investment had a positive and significant effect in both the short-run and long-run. In the short-run, the second lag of labour had a negative and statistically significant effect while in the long-run, the effect on economic growth was positive and statistically significant. Inflation was found to have a negative and statistically significant effect on economic growth both in the short-run and long-run. Political stability and human capital had an insignificant effect on economic growth both in the short-run and long-run during the period of the study.

Krompolc, Tomáš ; Grinc, Jan (advisor) ; Reschová, Jana (referee)
The role of the President of the Republic in the appointment, acceptance of resignation and dismissal of the Government, the Prime Minister and members of the Government Abstract The thesis deals with the role of the President of the Republic in the appointment, acceptance of resignation and dismissal of the Government, the Prime Minister and members of the Government. It is structured into an introduction, three body parts and a conclusion. The first part offers a brief overview of the relevant legislation, not only in terms of constitutional law, but also ordinary acts and European regulations. The second part focuses on the classification of the Czech political system in context of the three basic forms of republican government, which are the presidential system, the semi- presidential system, and the parliamentary system. This classification establishes basic points of departure, which are useful in certain situations for the identification of a more systemically appropriate interpretation. This section also deals with the theoretical possibility of changing the type of government system solely based on the President's exercising his powers and offers the views of political scientists and constitutional lawyers on this issue. The third and main part, divided into individual chapters titled according to...

From victory to crisis: The transformation of the media framing of Petr Fiala's government in the Echo Weekly and in opinion texts on the Echo24 website
Malá, Markéta ; Slomek, Jaromír (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the framing of topics in the Echo Weekly and in the opinion section of the Echo24 website. It tries to record how tribal authors evaluated the activities of Petr Fiala's government during one year against the background of fundamental social changes due to the post-pandemic situation, the outbreak of the war in Ukraine and the economic and energy crisis. The research works with framework analysis using the deductive method, which is based on the search for already defined frameworks. It is a typology of frameworks described in earlier researches as the most frequently used. These are frameworks of responsibility, conflict, economic consequences, morality and the human interest. Searching for them and then analyzing the frames will make it possible to determine which arguments the authors used most often and how they presented the events to the readers. Research questions are set, namely, how the frequency of texts mentioning the government has changed since its appointment over a period of one year, how the frames used have changed during the year and which of them had the greatest representation, and how the authors have changed their arguments regarding the government's activities. In the same way, the hypotheses are set that more and more opinion texts were related...

Deterrence in counter-terrorism: the case of Nigeria
Tongpan, Timothy Yusufu ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Solovyeva, Anzhelika (referee)
To assess the effectiveness of deterrence measures, we adopt data from the Global Terrorism Index (GTI). The GTI provides comprehensive assessments of trends and patterns of terrorism across different regions and countries and offers a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of counter- terrorism strategies. Our analysis will evaluate the impact of deterrence measures on reducing terrorist activities in Nigeria and identify the key factors that contribute to the success or failure of deterrence. This study's findings will be of significant interest to policymakers, security experts, and the broader Counter-terrorism has been a critical issue in Nigeria over the last decade, with terrorist groups such as Boko Haram posing a significant threat to the country's security and stability. In response, the Nigerian government has implemented various strategies, including deterrence, to combat this menace. Deterrence refers to the use of measures aimed at discouraging potential terrorists from engaging in violent activities. The effectiveness of deterrence in Nigeria's counter-terrorism strategy between 2009 and 2019, with a case study of Boko Haram, is the focus of this study. The period under review is significant as it marks the rise of Boko Haram and its transformation into a formidable terrorist...

Politika boje proti terorismu v jihovýchodní Asii - případová studie Filipín a Thajska
Sedláková, Monika
Terrorism is one of the most serious security threats in current globalized world. Terrorists, unlike national states, are able to quickly adapt themselves to new conditions and socio-political environment, which, combined with a weak state structure, creates the right conditions for their existence. The purpose of the diploma thesis is to propose changes to counter-terrorism policies in the Philippines and Thailand. The theoretical part approaches the issue of terrorism and attention is paid to the importance of counter-terrorism. The second part analyzes the causes of terrorism in the Philippines and Thailand and also analyzes the attitudes of states in question of responding to terrorist attacks and counter-terrorism policies. Based on comparisons and assessments of government approaches to this issue, provisions are proposed to contribute to a more effective solution of national terrorism in the future.

Dispute over the appointment of Jan Lipavský as Minister of Foreign Affairs
Viktorinová, Anna ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
The Bachelor thesis focuses on the dispute over the appointment of Jan Lipavský as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic between the President Miloš Zeman and the designated Prime Minister Petr Fiala in December 2021. This case is put into a context of similar previous events during the presidency of Václav Havel and Václav Klaus. The aim of this thesis is to examine the argumentation behind Zeman's previous rejections or objections to the nominated ministers. Also, it is focused on describing the main types of argumentations and the way in which the last case of rejection of the Czech Pirate Party nominee Lipavský responds to them. It is through both broader and narrower contexts that this thesis explores Zeman's justification for the refusal of this candidate. The research shows that Zeman's reasoning in this case mostly corresponds to the main types of his previous argumentations. This thesis also deals in detail with the process leading to the appointment of Jan Lipavský and the government of Petr Fiala. It includes both the professional political-science and constitutional-legal discussion, as well as the public discussion which arose from Zeman's refusal to appoint Lipavský and mostly disagreed with his move. Keywords President, Miloš Zeman, presidential powers, Prime Minister,...
