Kaplan, Petr ; Ditrych, Ondřej (advisor) ; Karlas, Jan (referee)

Yugoslavia is an example of a violent breakup, Czechoslovakia stands for a peaceful way, how to split a state. Using the Level of Analysis concept the study looks for differences at five levels focusing mainly on the change caused by the process of democratic transition in both states that removed the old regime and brought a competitive atmosphere among the old and new elites representing various ethnic groups. The outcome of the analysis is that the role of the army, the length of the liberalization process and the different historical experience are factors that matter most.

Selective adjustment to EU regulatory provisions in new member states : the case of electricity market liberalization in Bulgaria and Czech Republic
Neofitov, Alexander ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Cibulková, Petra (referee)
The present work aspires to provide a comprehensive analysis of the policy developments through which European-level prescriptions regarding the liberalization of national electricity markets have been accommodated within the domestic policy contexts of two new member states of the European Union: Bulgaria and Czech Republic. Despite being subjected to uniform demands, adaptation to community regulatory provisions in the two countries has prompted divergent patterns of policy change, resulting in full compliance in the Czech Republic and a failure to meet EU objectives in Bulgaria. In order to address the observed inconsistency the envisaged research identifies a causal link between the outcomes of regulatory compliance and the influence of utility regulation as a sector-specific EU governance pattern on the dynamics of resource re-distribution at the domestic level. A major concern of the research is how contextual factors, such as incumbent power balances across actor populations in the target policy area condition the impacts of EU inputs on domestic policy decisions. In this respect the work hypothesizes that due to transition "sediments" in the new EU member states external rules may be selectively applied in order to match the existing realities and lead to outcomes that diverge from the...

Understanding Middle Class in India
Babalová, Nora ; Hříbek, Martin (advisor) ; Bendíková, Soňa (referee)
The sociological concept of class remains an important analytical tool for the study of modern societies. The development of individual segments of class stratification, and relations among them in a society, serve as an important indicator for the economic, social and political development of the state. Over the last decade, it has particularly been the middle class, which received higher attention from various authors and institutions as it represents a significant aspect of the emerging economies associated with the BRICS. This bachelor thesis deals with the description of the contemporary middle class in India and with the changes that have occurred in the process of its formation, primarily after the independence in 1947. The historical perspective will serve as one of the methods for observing its evolution. The main objective is to provide a comprehensive analysis of this social segment, and at the same time, to portray the current effects of globalization and the economy on existing hierarchies within the Indian society. Key words middle class, social stratification, liberalization, globalization, India
