This thesis examines the relationship between foreign capital inflows and economic growth in Ethiopia over the period from 1981 to 2014. In particular, the real GDP per capita as a function of foreign aid, foreign direct investment and other foreign capital inflows (remittances and external debt) were investigated. The ARDL approach was applied to explain the long run and short run effect of explanatory variables on the dependent variable. The result reveals that the flow of foreign aid has a negative effect on economic growth both in long run and short run. This is mainly because the existence of poor institutional arrangement and the funds are not always connected to the productive sectors. Similarly, the long run relationship between the flow of foreign direct investment and the economic growth is negative. The possible explanation for this negative effect is due to inadequate basic infrastructures and poor institutional quality in the country. However, the long run and short run effect of other foreign capital inflows and the short run effect of foreign direct investment are found to be insignificant in affecting real GDP per capita. In addition, the causality test result indicates that there is a unidirectional causal relationship from official foreign aid to real GDP per capita and bidirectional causal relationship between foreign direct investment and real GDP per capita, but there is no any causal relationship between other foreign capital inflows and real GDP per capita in Ethiopia. Thus, the study suggests that the government has to ensure that the capital inflows are linked to the productive sectors to optimize the benefits of capital inflows. Moreover, the government has to pursue policy device to mobilize domestic resources and to reduce over-reliance on capital inflows.

The thesis deals with the Ethiopian migration to the Czech Republic, especially to Prague. The aim of this work is to present the Ethiopian migration, to identify the origin and the reasons of an individual migrant for coming to the Czech Republic, to learn about their adaptation to the Czech environment and to find out what are their prospects and aspirations for the future. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first introductory chapter contains motivation, criticism of the sources, the structure of work and terminology.

The aim of this thesis is to present from the historical perspective the Ethiopian Amharas as a nation, which, even though they are not forming majority of the state, they had and still have major impact on the Ethiopian society. They also maintained influence on other nations mainly thanks to the Amharic language, which became the official language of the whole of Ethiopia. The structure of the work is divided in such a way in order to include all the relevant phases that are related to the history and life of the Ethiopian Amharas. The compilation of the work is based on the theoretical analysis and the study of the literature. In the thesis I give a brief overview of the history, including the legend of the origin of the Solomon dynasty, to which the Amharas still avow. In the view of the fact that significant role in Ethiopian society plays also the affiliation of most of the Amharas with the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, I deal with its history and hierarchies. I also apprise of the religious rituals, feasts and celebrations. In individual parts I follow up the historical roots of Amharic and its relevance to a particular language group. Role of Amharic is analyzed with respect to the educational system in Ethiopia, I am also referring to its role in connection with the so-called Amharization...
