Suspension of the Voting Rights in the Capital Companies Abstract This thesis deals with the substantive regulation of preventive suspension of the voting rights concerning the capital companies. Its aim is to provide a comprehensive interpretation of the conditions of selected general cases of preventive suspension of the voting rights set out in the Business Corporation Act, to deal with some interpretative ambiguities and where appropriate, to offer possible solutions. The thesis is divided into five main chapters. The first chapter defines the concept of suspension and describes its impact on the position of shareholders, and consequently on the General Meeting.

Growing power of developing countries and its influence on decision-making in the World Bank
Halamka, Radek ; Parízek, Michal (advisor) ; Kučerová, Irah (referee)
World Bank had worked under nearly the same structure and the same distribution of voting weights since its establishment. The settings reflecting the post-war situation has been criticized more and more lately as not corresponding with the present circumstances. Ineffectiveness, irrelevance and illegitimacy were enumerated as main deficiencies. Voice Reform, which was conducted in 2008 and 2010, should have brought a solution to the problems by more involvement of developing countries in decision-making in the World Bank. This thesis studies the approved changes in voting weights using power indices and analysis of financial flows. The results of both the approaches show that the revolutionary ethos remained in the Reform text and no large changes would likely happen. The only exception may be an increase of China, however, the United States would maintain its dominant position.
