The Evolution of Jordanian Political Regime After 1989
Ducháčková, Michaela ; Buben, Radek (advisor) ; Koubek, Jiří (referee)
The aim of this master thesis is to analyze political regime of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and to find out some possible effects, which could have had an influence on its stability and survival in the last 25 years. The Jordanian political regime had gone through several crises in the examined years. Not only did it survive all of them but also became stronger. Which factors caused the survival of the regime? In the first part of the thesis we typologize the regime from three possible perspectives (institutional, formalistic and legitimation). The second part deals with an analysis of factors, which enable the survival of Jordanian political regime. The emphasis is given on the role of institutions.

The role of elections in non-democratic regimes: the case of Czechoslovakia before 1989
Piňosová, Barbora ; Váňa, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mlejnek, Josef (referee)
The theme of this bachelor's thesis is the role of elections in non-democratic regimes, by focusing on the election held in 1971 in communist Czechoslovakia. This work explores the classification of Czechoslovakia on the scale of non-democratic regimes, by using the non-democratic elections theory and acknowledging the specifics of the given period in the analysis of this particular election. The objective of this work is to answer the question of why the regime had to organise non-democratic elections and whether these elections served to legitimise the regime's power or perform more functions. Based on this analysis, the author concludes that the communist regime held the elections in order to finalise its consolidation process in response to the events of the Prague Spring. This was not only to legitimise its power, as it was particularly shown during the pre-election period that several significant functions were serving especially to reinforce the feeling of apathy and hopelessness among the population, which enabled the regime to survive until its collapse in 1989.

The Political Regime and the Internet Freedom - A Comparative Analysis of the People's Republic of China, the United States of America and the Russian Federation Based on the Freedom House Organisation's Survey and its Studies, Freedom on the Net 2011-2015
Ali, Sabina ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Shavit, Anna (referee)
The thesis focuses on the behaviour of the largest world superpowers, the United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the People's Republic of China, in terms of internet freedom. The aim is to examine in what manner and to what extent these countries limit or protect their citizens' right to freedom of expression on the internet. The resulting data should reveal or disprove significant discrepancies between the character of the political regimes which the selected countries represent, and their real practices towards the freedom of speech on the internet. The subject of the analysis is to compare these countries' data which were presented in the Freedom on the Net 2011-2015, a series of reports by the independent non- profit organisation of Freedom House. The data are compared through comprehensive graphs and charts, which help to illustrate and map the development of the individual countries' behaviour in time. The thesis is complemented by a chapter focusing on the historical development of internet, illustrating who participated at its birth and who has a major influence on its current form.
