Britain in the European Communities under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
Šebík, Ondrej ; Lenčéš Chalániová, Daniela (advisor) ; Martinková, Viera (referee)
This thesis aims to determine whether Margaret Thatcher's European policy was ideologically consistent with conservativism. The record of the British Conservative Party on European policy is inconsistent. The party that initiated Brexit was the same party that integrated the United Kingdom into the European Communities under conservative prime ministers Heath, Thatcher and Major. The divergence begs the question of what conservative European policy really looks like. The thesis therefore first defines conservatism and what parameters will be used in the subsequent comparison. Subsequently, Thatcher's decisions, views and actions in the European Communities will be compared against these parameters. Although with minor derivations, the thesis concludes that Margaret Thatcher's European policy fulfils the definition of conservative.

Elections and Morality: Moral Foundations Theory (Jonathan Haidt) and Analysis of 2017 Elections in the Czech Republic
Pšenčný, Tomáš ; Lánský, Ondřej (advisor) ; Stracený, Josef (referee)
The aim of the proposed work is to verify the hypothesis based on Jonathan Haidt's Moral Foundations Theory, which says that the wider the range of the so-called moral foundations a political party addresses with its programme, the higher its chances of a good election result. This hypothesis is examined within the framework of Czech political reality. The first part of the work introduces Haidt's Theory of Moral Foundations and examines the question of its applicability to the Czech political sphere. In the next step, the mentioned theory is used (with the help of appropriate operationalization) as a means of analysing the election results of Czech political parties in the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament in 2017 in order to verify this hypothesis. The programme points of the election programmes of ten Czech political parties are subjected to the analysis. These are the parties that, according to pre-election surveys, had the greatest chance of exceeding the 5 % electoral threshold for joining the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic (i. e. ANO 2011, ČSSD, ODS, SPD, TOP 09, KDU-ČSL KSČM, STAN, Pirate Party and Green Party). The second part of this work handles the analysis of the representation of the different moral foundations in the programme of all examined...

Analysis of banking assets and liabilities of households in the Czech Republic
Rektorysová, Natália ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Fučík, Vojtěch (referee)
Czech household, an important factor of the Czech banking sector, is considered to be a subject with a conservative approach in dealing with its financial funds. This bachelor thesis deals with a demonstrability of this status, acceleration of demands for loans and with analysis of banking assets and liabilities of households and their changes in time. The theoretical part describes key concepts and specifies basic framework needed for a further topic elaboration; it also specifies two key hypotheses: the first one is aimed at a household balance in time, the second one is focused on growth rate in relation to pensioners disposable income. The empiric part of the thesis is focused on loan development trends which represent household liabilities and deposits as household assets, accentuating the changes based on legislative steps, unexpected events on domestic market or world financial markets events. The end of the practical chapter summarises development tendencies and their substantiation. The conclusion summarises a contribution of the thesis, declares Czech household conservativism demonstrability and confirms the hypothesis of Czech household debt paradox.
