The diploma thesis deals with the demographic and economic situation in the countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The subject of the thesis is to evaluate the current situation according to demographic dynamics in the period 1990-2018. Demographic change in these countries is affected by previously accepted anti-natal or pro-natal policies. The aim of this thesis is to define conclusions and suggestions for impovement of development cooperation and support of certain countries. In thesis are created time series with selected demographic and economic indicators with prediction for the next 5 years by extrapolation of time series. The thesis uses the convergence method, which can be used to determine whether the countries are approaching or distancing over time. Convergence is calculated to gross domestic product per capita. At the end of the thesis, the main components of selected demographic and economic indicators are analyzed, followed by cluster analysis for 1991 and 2017 and their comparison.

Diploma thesis The Book in the Electronic Age deals with print and electronic book. Theory of convergence has been described at the first theoretical part. According to historical evidence, convergence supposed, media be not ejected each other, but their content has just to be changed. Another mentioned theory is remediation. It consists in way which new medium releases. New medium determines itself by borrowing characters of old medium and this content is being transform in terms what the new one needs. The chapter pointing on a strong tradition and an influence of book is concerned in letter print like power instrument. The next part describes print and electronic environment and also includes their differences not only from the perspective of user. History and princip of hypertext is outlined and there has been mentioned hypertext's potential in e-books as well. The newest way of reading electronic books are mentioned there. The theme of failure of e-book is also involved. The question about future of book appears in whole thesis.

The EU's lagging economic growth and global competitiveness require the pro- motion of technological innovation, the key determinant of long term economic growth. On the other hand, increasing disparities among EU member states require the promotion of convergence as they may threaten the EU's economic feasibility and political viability. Cohesion policy has adopted the dual role for the promotion of EU global competitiveness and EU economic cohesion; concepts incompatible by nature. The objectives of Europe 2020, specifically the promotion of technological innovation through investment in R&D, are as- sessed in terms of their compatibility with the objectives of Cohesion policy, specifically the reduction of disparities within the EU. An analysis of conver- gence in the EU determines that both beta convergence and sigma convergence are taking place, although large disparities in GDP per capita persist. An em- pirical analysis of the relative effects on GDP per capita of investment in R&D and investment in human capital determines that investment in human capital plays a significant role. Thus, key policy focus areas that meet the objectives of both Europe 2020 and Cohesion policy include investment in human capital as well as purposive diffusion of technology within the EU and the distribution of the...

This thesis operates with the Endogenous Optimum Currency Area theory. It tests the main assumption of the endogenous theory by applying correlation and regression analysis on selected EU Member States. It compares correlation of economic cycles of selected states with the Eurozone over time along with testing significance of particular correlation factors. The results note significant synchronization of economic cycles during the economic crisis of 2008 as well as important desynchronization after 2013. As far as correlation factors are concerned statistical significance of Bilateral Trade Intensity, Intra-Industry Trade and Fiscal Differences Index on correlation of economic cycles is confirmed. However, the endogenous OCA hypothesis could not be unambiguously confirmed due to important European synchronization trend throughout the economic crisis that impacted large part of the results. Based on significant synchronization of European economies during economic crisis application of common monetary policy during this period can be recommended.

The thesis deals with the term convergence in connection with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In the 1990s, the transition process of centrally planned economies into market economies occurred in the countries in question. The countries had been isolated for almost half a century from a market-oriented economic system. The aim of the thesis is therefore to assess to what extent there is convergence between the more advanced states of Western Europe and the post-Soviet countries. Fulfillment of the objective of the thesis will be realized by analyzing the development of economic and non-economic indicators in the countries under review and assessing their convergence rate. Another aim of the thesis is to identify the main causes of different convergence rates between countries.

The aim of the thesis is to analyze the trade cooperation between the Czech Republic and ASEAN countries. The thesis examines the scope and content of trade between selected countries, the cooperation between countries is increasing due to the liberalization of trade and bilateral relations. The theoretical part defines main concepts that are associated with international trade, trade policy, trade and bilateral relations between the countries. The analytical part is dedicated to correlation, cluster analysis, a composite indicator and convergence. Finally, the obtained results are discussed and several recommendations for trade cooperation are suggested.

The main objective is to assess the current situation of real and nominal conver-gence Czech Republic and selected countries of the euro area average. In assessing the real convergence of the work focuses on measuring the synchronization of business cycles and structural convergence. Measuring the synchronization of bussines cycles is done in the spirit of the modern concept of OCA theory. When assessing structural convergence is assessed similarities development of sectoral structures and the intensity of intra-industry trade. In nominal convergence are critical Maastricht convergence criteria and the development of the index CPL. While the analysis of convergence shows a high business cycle synchronization and the convergence trend in most countries and developments in the field of structural convergence points to ongoing differences in industrial specialization among the surveyed countries, which could lead to an increased risk of asymmetric shock in case membership in a monetary union.

This master's thesis project examines the content of Andrej Babiš's social media profiles and their function as a source of information.

The aim of the thesis is to assess the economy of Spain and its position in the European Union. The European integration processes significantly influenced the development of democracy in Spain as a member state of EU. The period after Franco regime would last undoubtedly much longer and it would grow less dynamically without these processes. The influence of EU affected not only the Spanish economy, but also the current position of Spanish monarchy in Europe and in the whole world. The thesis is structured in three main parts. To be able to assess the Spanish economy during its membership in the EU, it is essential to study the procedures of negotiations between the candidate country and the Community. That is the reason why the first part is engaged in the pre-entry phase. The second part examines in detail the development of the economy after the reintroduction of democracy in the country. It deals mainly with the macroeconomic tendencies, their causes together with consequences. The progress concerns the economic situation in Spain before the entry to the Community, in the second half of eighties, as well as during the nineties. The thesis does not forget to be engaged in the current situation in the new millennium and it also outlines the possible development in the following years. The last part is devoted to the position and the influence of Spain on the main integration directions in the European Union. The coherence and the extent of evaluation can be considered one of the benefits of this work. The thesis introduces the complex view of the Spanish economy since the entry to the EU. It also deals with possible following tendencies. The understanding of the development is facilitated by a large number of graphs and tables, which help to outline the essence of the topic.
