The aim of this thesis is to find out, whether the European Union is capable to propose and implement coherent, comprehensive, interoperable and robust counterterrorism measures in all the territories of member states. After the attacks in the USA and subsequently in Europe, the European politicians have started to discuss cooperation related to the fight against terrorism much more intensely. The question is, whether the newly adopted measures are effective and supported enough to have bigger impact on the global terrorism than those adopted at the national level.

Diplomová práce se zabývá problematikou měnové politiky v Evropské unii, respektive v Evropské měnové unii. Samotnému vzniku Evropské měnové unie předcházelo dlouhé období integračních procesů a je spojováno se dvěma mezníky. Prvním mezníkem byl vznik Evropské centrální banky, která představuje jednu z nejdůležitějších institucí a je zodpovědná za provádění jednotné měnové politiky v eurozóně. Druhým důležitým momentem bylo zavedení společné evropské měny, eura. Navzdory podstatným obchodním výhodám spojených s přijetím eura se brzy ukázalo, že jednotná měnová politika nemusí vyhovovat všem zemím kvůli jejich odlišným ekonomickým potřebám a schopnostem, které vyžadují různou měnovou politiku. Tato práce se soustředí na současnou ekonomickou situaci v eurozóně se zvláštním důrazem na otázku dluhové krize.

Adam Kordač This master thesis analyses two levels of political communication and political marketing in the context of the European Union. The thesis gradually analyses main principles of political marketing, then analyses political movement ANO 2011 and then analyses its counterpart which is Alliance of liberals and democrats for Europe. The thesis is created under the pretext of two major theoretical political marketing and communication models. Those are the so-called "Plasser" model and Jennifer Lees-Marshment model. They analyse the situation from two viewpoints: Plasser analyses the historical development of political communication while Lees-Marshment looks to the differing aspects of contemporary parties. It is based on the principles of comparative analysis.

The diploma thesis is focused on excise duties of alcoholic beverages including beer, wine and other spirits in the European Union. Duties rates are explained using three regressive models of consumption, production of alcoholic beverages and economic level of Member states. None of the models confirms duties rates are related to consumption or production; on the other side excise duties raise in case of increasing economic level. There were identified few states with prerequisites for protectionism based on research of Member states. This regards beer in Czechia, Germany, Belgium and Lithuania; wine in case of Slovenia, Portugal and Italy; spirits in Cyprus. In these states are more advantageous conditions in consumption and production of alcoholic beverages, although unconsciously or unin-tendedly embedded, than among other Member states.
