<p>Proces tranzicije i projekti modernizacije u<br />većini postsocijalističkih dru&scaron;tava u Evropi,<br />samim tim i na Balkanu, realizovani su u formi<br />deformisane imitativne modernizacije ili<br />kontramodernizacije. Romi su i dalje<br />periferija, ali ovoga puta Evropske unije. Pred<br />njima je neizvesna budućnost u liku alternativa:<br />perspektiva postmodernog totalitarizma sa<br />tehnokratskom diktaturom, ili formiranje<br />čovečanstva kao zajednice ravnopravnih<br />građana i naroda u duhu modela socijaldemokratske<br />globalizacije sveta sa respektom<br />bogatstva kulturnih različitosti sveta, sa<br />globalizacijom razumevanja i solidarnosti među<br />narodima Dakle, i na nama savremenicima je<br />velika odgovornost kakav će oblik, lik i su&scaron;tinu<br />imati budućnost čovečanstva &ndash; da li će se ono<br />razvijati u ključu humanizacije dru&scaron;tva i<br />emancipacije čoveka, ili pak novih oblika<br />socijalnog, političkog i kulturnog porobljavanja.<br />Upravo iz tog razloga, izučavanje specifičnosti<br />stvarala&scaron;tva Roma u kontekstu evropskog<br />sistema kulturnih vrednosti ima veliki značaj.<br />U savremenom svetu, Romi kao etnička grupa<br />sve če&scaron;će postaju predmet interesovanja<br />naučnih istraživanja. &bdquo;Simbolika likovne<br />umetnosti Roma i evropski sistem kulturnih<br />vrednosti&rdquo; pokazuje se u dana&scaron;nje vreme krajnje<br />interesantnom temom istraživanja, s obzirom na<br />njen teorijski i na praktični aspekt. Reč je o umetnostje u svojoj formalnosti dugo vremena<br />bivala mimikrijska, zahvaljujući simboličkoj<br />vrednosti njenih artefakata. Mi je<br />multidisciplinarnim uvidom sagledavamo u<br />obrisima. Likovna umetnost Roma ima svoj<br />korpus koji je dugo bio zatočen u nacionalnim<br />predstavama izbegavajući oznaku romski.<br />Identitet Roma, kao i njihov imidž u Srbiji i<br />Evropi, sveden je na ovu marginalizovanu<br />dimenziju kulture, a kulturna tradicija Roma<br />podvrgnuta je IRONIZACIJI I<br />VULGARIZACIJI od strane većinske i drugih<br />manjinskih zajednica. Romska kultura,<br />artefakti, umetnici formalno su nevidljivi i<br />nemaju prepoznatljivost u dru&scaron;tvu. Ovaj rad je<br />doprinos osvetljavanju aspekta valorizacije<br />romskog kulturnog korpusa.</p> / <p>Transition processes and modernization projects<br />in most post-socialist societies in Europe,<br />including Balcans, have been realized in the<br />form of deformed imitative modernization or<br />counter-modernization. Roma people are still at<br />periphery, but this time at the periphery of<br />European Union. They are facing uncertain<br />future, with alternatives of postmodern<br />totalitarianism with technocratic dictature, or<br />humanity as community of equal citizens and<br />ethnic groups in the spirit of social-democratic<br />globalization, with respect for cultural<br />differences and understanding and solidarity<br />among nations. Contemporaries bear<br />responsibility for what form and essence the<br />future of humanity will have &ndash; whether it will<br />develop in the course of humanization of<br />society and emancipation of people, or its<br />develepment will be directed toward new forms<br />of social, political and cultural oppression.<br />Therefore, the researh of specificity of Roma&rsquo;s<br />creative work in the context of European system<br />of cultural values is of great importance.<br />In contemporary world, Roma people as ethnic<br />group are becoming the subject of scientific<br />research more and more frequently. &bdquo;Symbolics<br />of Roma&rsquo;s fine arts and European system of<br />cultural values&ldquo; turns out to be very interesting<br />topic for studying, considering its theoretical<br />and applied aspects. This thesis is<br />interdisciplinary study with both theoretical and<br />broader cultural relevance, for this topic yields<br />the possibility for the analysis and dialog of<br />different culturological value dimensions which<br />are built in centuries-long history of Europe.<br />Study deals with a &bdquo;specific illumination&ldquo; of<br />unlit aspects of Roma people and the field of<br />fine arts, their possible history, developmental<br />paths and actuality. Today, this issue is<br />significant for plenty of reasons, since this<br />problem is shadowed by many ephemeral studies which yielded modest results. This work<br />is based on scientific analytical-synthetic<br />paradigm. The main research problem addressed<br />in this study is the question: whether the<br />symbolics of Roma&rsquo;s fine arts exists in the<br />European system of cultural values, or whether<br />symbolics of Roma&rsquo;s art reflects in European<br />culture. Descriptive, hermetical and<br />comparative historical methods were used in the<br />study under the framework of synchronic and<br />diachronic approach. Because of the specificity<br />of the research subject, thought experiment was<br />used as well, as logical principle of aesthetical<br />analysis.<br />In this research, aesthetical discussion, evidence<br />of visible and invisible Roma&rsquo;s art has been<br />developed, as well as evidence of elements of<br />symbolics in the fine arts of Roma people in the<br />context of European system of cultural values.<br />Roma&rsquo;s fine art has been mimicric for a long<br />time, because of the symbolic value of its<br />artefacts. Using multidisciplinary approach, we<br />recognize its contours. Its corpus has been<br />detained in national notions, by avoiding label<br />Romani. Roma&rsquo;s identity, as well as their image<br />in Serbia and Europe, has been reduced to this<br />marginalized cultural dimension, and Roma&rsquo;s<br />cultural tradition has been exposed to<br />ironization and vulgarization by national<br />majority and other national minorities. Roma&rsquo;s<br />culture, artefacts, artists are formaly invisible<br />and unrecognized. This work contributes to<br />illumination and valorization of Roma&rsquo;s cultural<br />corpus.</p>

The Czech National Bank, its legal position and scope of activities Abstract As the theme of my thesis, I have chosen the Czech National Bank, its legal position and scope of activities. The aim is to analyze the legal position and activities of the CNB. This is a very large topic, due to the wide activities of the CNB at national, European and international level. The CNB is and independent, highly credible and very powerful institution. The CNB is the central bank of the Czech Republic, the financial market supervision authority and the authority to solve crisis. Its main objective is to maintain price stability. Due to the wide range of tasks, I focused on the assessment its monetary policy as its most important business. The implementation of monetary policy is based on the ability to choose the level of interest rates that will keep inflation at a low but stable level and there will be no unnecessary slowdown or acceleration of the growth rate of the economy. The aim of the CNB's transmission mechanism is to keep the overall inflation in the narrow corridor at 1-3 %. By comparing the real development of the average quarterly inflation rate and the forecast of monetary policy-relevant inflation for the period from 3.Q 2008 to 2.Q 2019, it can be concluded that the caused fluctuations could be hardly...

1 Abstract This master thesis deals with the arrangement of the supervision of the financial system in the European Union. Its content and structure is strongly tied with two principal supervisory pillars - European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS) and Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). The first chapter starts with the historical background of the European financial supervision and proceeds to the recent global Great recession which motivated the reforms that led to the current state of the supervisory structure. The operation of the ESFS and SSM is thoroughly explained in chapters two and three respectively, moreover I cover their interaction with national supervisory authorities and special emphasis is put on the role of the Czech National Bank. Several controversial issues are also reflected in the course of the thesis, ie. rather regulatory than supervisory role of the European supervisory authorities which contradicts the initially declared intentions, their low operability or quite illusory legislative demand of extensive independence of national representatives when they stand for their respective home authorities in the European institutions. The emphasis on the Czech Republic is evident from the sub-chapter regarding the potential entry into the close cooperation with the Single Supervisory...

Common monetary policy, according to its nature and established principles of formation and implementation, is unique policy of the Community. Its importance for the EU existence requires clearly divided competence in its sphere. Regardless exclusive monetary policy competence of the Community, euro-zone members obtained a wide range of opportunities for active participation in creation, formation and implementation of monetary policy, both through the institutional system and through the political interest influence.

Relations of Central bank to Commercial banks The purpose of my thesis is to analyse relations among central bank and commercial banks in current view with emphasising on situation in the Czech Republic. This analysis is a critical appraisal of issues in relation to current legislation, and last but not least also the planned changes, which are currently under discussion. The thesis is divided into five chapters with introduction and abstract. Chapter One is introductory and defines basic terminology used in the thesis like banking system, central bank and commercial banks. This chapter is subdivided into four parts. Part One describes central bank and banking system. Part Two describes central bank, its position, activity and tools. Part Third is focused on commercial banks. Final part deals with trends in the development of the banking sector. Chapter Two characterises subjects of banking system in the Czech Republic and is divided into two parts. Part One outlines organizational structure of the CNB and its main functions. Part Two outlines organizational structure of commercials banks in the Czech Republic. Chapter Three concentrates on banking regulation and supervision and its division. Part One analyzes arguments for and against bank regulation. Part Two is focused on banking regulation and...

Le Mercosur est une organisation d’intégration économique régionale regroupant l’Argentine, le Brésil, le Paraguay, l’Uruguay et le Venezuela. Ayant un but essentiellement économique à l’origine, son traité constitutif ne laissait prévoir aucun développement dans le sens d’une éventuelle préoccupation concernant la protection des droits de l’homme. Suite à la crise institutionnelle du début des années 2000, les États membres ont été obligés à repenser le format du groupe et ont privilégié un modèle qui diminuait l’approche économique au profit d’un Mercosur plus politique, mis en œuvre dans le Programme de Travail 2004-2006. À partir de ce moment, une architecture institutionnelle et normative s’est développée au sein du Mercosur sur une thématique plus politique et concernant aussi spécifiquement les droits de l’homme. La question qui se pose est donc de savoir à qui revient la compétence d’apprécier des questions de violations relatives aux droits de l’homme au sein du Mercosur : à un contrôle interne par les organes composant le système de résolution des différends du Mercosur ou à un contrôle externalisé par les organes du système interaméricain de protection des droits de l’homme ? La place des droits de l’homme dans le Mercosur à la lumière de l’expérience européenne est une étude sur les droits de l’homme dans le Mercosur sous un angle comparatiste avec le droit de l’Union européenne. / Mercosur is a regional economic integration organization comprising Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela. As Mercosur was originally established for economic purposes, the constitutive treaty does not contain provisions on the protection of human rights. An institutional crisis in Mercosur in the early 2000s forced the Member States to rethink the design of the organization. At the end, a more political model was chosen instead of the original purely economic approach, which was implemented in the Working program 2004-2006. From that moment onwards, an institutional and normative architecture was developed implementing its more political character, including provisions on human rights. This evolution triggers the question of who has the authority to determine issues relating to violations of human rights in Mercosur and via which procedure should this take place. Should the dispute resolution organs of Mercosur be in charge via internal control or is itpreferable that the monitoring will be outsourced to the Inter-American system of protection of human rights? The place of human rights in the Mercosur in the light of the European experience is a study on human rights in Mercosur from a comparative perspective with the law of the European Union.

The thesis discusses the supervision and regulation of the financial sector in the European Union with a particular focus on the banking market . The aim is to answer the research question , what are the main reasons for the introduction of the banking union in the European Union and what this concept means in practice for the Member States . The first chapter presents general reasons of financial market regulation and puts them into the context of the transformation of a European framework for financial supervision. The second part delas with the central theme of this work , a banking union as an important milestone in the process of european economic and political integration. It explains the factors leading to increased attention devoted to the regulation of banking market. The last chapter provides an analysis of the impact on the Member States of the European Union. Basic consequences arising from the introduction of banking union are analyzed on the case of the Czech Republic. The conclusion brings in attention the factors that are currently on the reform of European banking regulation most emphasized.

Avec l’annonce de la création d’une Union bancaire européenne, l’évolution du cadre institutionnel de la régulation prudentielle est actuellement au coeur des débats politiques. Le projet de réforme prévoit la dévolution d’une importante partie du contrôle prudentiel des entreprises financières à la Banque centrale européenne. Les conflits d’intérêts potentiels susceptibles d’être générés dans le cadre de la détermination de la politique monétaire et de la mise en oeuvre du contrôle prudentiel ont souvent été mis en exergue par les détracteurs du modèle de régulation intégré aux institutions d’émission. Cependant, les influences réciproques ainsi que la complémentarité tenant à l’exercice des missions de stabilité monétaire et de stabilité financière par le banquier central pourraient tendre à justifier l’adoption de telles mesures. La concentration des pouvoirs monétaires et prudentiels dans le giron des banques centrales impliquerait néanmoins pour ces dernières de répondre au principe de la légitimité démocratique, cela tout en conservant un certain degré d’indépendance à l’endroit du pouvoir politique. La conciliation de ces deux exigences semblerait nécessaire dans l’hypothèse où les banques centrales se verraient amenées à exercer un rôle croissant au sein de la sphère financière. Plus largement, c’est peut-être dans la recherche de cet équilibre que réside le secret de la conception d’un cadre institutionnel optimal dans le domaine de la régulation monétaire et financière. Les insuffisances dénoncées des modèles de supervision pourraient-elles ainsi se voir pallier par l’institution d’un Système mondial de banques centrales en charge du contrôle prudentiel ? / With the announcement of the creation of an European banking union, the evolution of institutionnal framework of prudential supervision is currently at the center of political debates. The draft reform provides for the devolution of a significant part of prudential supervision of financial enterprises to the European central bank. The potential conflicts of interest which might be generated in the framework of the determination of monetary policy and the implementation of prudential supervision have often been underlined by critics of the integrated regulatory model within issuing institutions. However, both reciprocal influences and complementarity in the exercice of the missions of monetary stability and financial stability by the central banker might tend to justify the adoption of such measures. The concentration of monetary and prudential powers within central banks would imply, though, for those latter to satisfy the principle of democratic legitimacy, this while keeping some degree of independence from the political power. The conciliation between these two requirements would seem necessary assuming that central banks would be set to exercise an increasingly important role within the financial sphere. More extensively, perhaps the secret of the design of an optimal institutionnal framework in the area of financial and monetary supervision lies in the search for this balance. Might insufficiencies highlighted in supervisory models be overcome by setting up a world system of central banks in charge of prudential supervision?

De nos jours, la coopération entre les superviseurs financiers dans l’Union européenne constitue une nécessité apparente. En effet, l’harmonisation progressive des législations des Etats membres, la mise en place du passeport européen pour faciliter la libre circulation des acteurs au sein de l’Union, la compétence nationale fondée sur le principe du pays d’origine, ainsi que la reconnaissance mutuelle des agréments et des contrôles ont rendu nécessaire la coopération entre les superviseurs financiers des Etats membres. Cette nécessité constitue une conséquence logique de l’intégration financière. D'une part, l'existence de règles communes exige une approche cohérente dans leur mise en oeuvre à travers de l'Union européenne. D'autre part, la portée croissante d'activités transfrontalières, ensemble avec l’émergence de grands établissements financiers prestant des services dans plusieurs secteurs d’activité, exige la coopération étroite entre les superviseurs financiers. En effet, dans un contexte transfrontalier et intersectoriel, la coopération constitue le principal outil de surveillance des autorités de contrôle financier. Ce processus est en plein mutation depuis l’avènement de la crise financière. Ainsi, la coopération est renforcée et centralisée à l’échelle de l’Union depuis la mise en place des Autorités européennes de surveillance. En outre, la centralisation de la supervision dans le secteur bancaire au niveau européen ne supprime pas la nécessité de coopération, en particulier en raison de l’expertise des autorités nationales, de leur connaissance des marchés bancaires nationaux, régionaux et locaux, des ressources importantes dont elles disposent déjà et de considérations géographiques et linguistiques. / Nowadays, the cooperation among the financial supervisors in the European Union is a visible necessity. The progressive harmonisation of the legislations of the Member states, the establishment of the European passport in order to facilitate the free movement of actors within the Union, the national competence based on the principle of the country of origin, as well as the mutual recognition of the authorisation procedure and of the controls made necessary the cooperation among financial supervisors in Europe. This necessity is a logical consequence of the financial integration. First, the existence of common rules requires a coherent approach in their implementation thought the European Union. Second, the increasing number of cross-border activities, as well as the emergence of big financial institutions active in several business sectors requires a close relationship between financial supervisors. In a cross-border and intersectoral context the cooperation becomes the main tool of supervision of the financial authorities. This process is in height transformation since the advent of the financial crisis. The cooperation is strengthened and centralised on European level since the establishment of the European Supervisory Authorities. In addition, the centralisation of the supervision in the banking sector at European level does not eliminate the necessity of cooperation, due in particular to the expertise of national authorities, to their knowledge of national, regional and local banking markets, their significant existing resources and to locational and language considerations.

The purpose of the presented thesis is to analyse the developments of the regulatory framework relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions within the European Union (EU). One of the main reasons for this research is the development of the regulatory framework in the aftermath of the financial crises which showed its destructive effects after the financial collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008. The EU regulatory respond to the crisis led to the establishment of the new European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS). The new regulatory framework affects not only the role of the national standard setters and the work of national supervisory authorities but also rights and duties of all regulated and supervised entities of the financial market. The thesis is composed of five chapters. Each of them is dealing with the development of the regulatory framework concerning technical instruments of prudential supervision in the area of credit institutions. The introductory Chapter One defines instruments of prudential supervision which are applied by credit institutions and their supervisors under the present so- called Capital requirement directives (CRD). Chapter Two describes the evolution of the process of harmonisation in the area of credit institutions. The...
