Šmída, Pavel ; Klusáková, Luďa (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (referee)
This thesis analyzes caciquismo as a temporally and spatially specific type of clientelistic relations in the Restoration Spain (1874 - 1923). First, the analysis primarily focuses on Spanish historiography of caciquismo/clientelism, its development and current situation of research including contemporary reception of the problem. Second, it also deals with the discussion of contemporary manifestations of caciquismo/clientelism in relation to the issues of terminology, corruption and political clientelism in modern Spain. In both cases the researcher sonsiders other important non-Spanish theoretical works. The thesis is based on interdisciplinary approach: besides of a historical perspective, it also brings to the topic view of anthropology, political science and sociology as well. The contribution of this thesis is refuting the concept according to that the contemporary critics (regeneracionists, Generation of '98 and Generation of '14) condemn caciquismo as a wholly negative manifestation of social interaction, which is based on a psychopathological and ethno-geographical perspective destined only to the Spanish nation, the idea, which is attributed to the contemporary critics of the Restoration Spain by the historians of caciquismo. Keywords: Spain - caciquismo - clientelism - patron-client...

Šmída, Pavel ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Křížová, Markéta (referee)
This thesis seeks to answer the question, if it is possible to create the concept of "dual image of Spain" in the second half of the twenties of 20th century or the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. A prerequisite for this double division are opinions of the Czech historian and diplomat Vlastimil Kybal, who worked as ambassador in Madrid between 1927-1933 and Spanish historians who examined this period. Based on comparative method the work analyzes the economic, social and political events, on one side as recorded by Kybal and on the other by historians. The primary objective is the research and formulation of different concepts and ideas and secondly their same opinions. The issue of legitimacy of the constitution, new constitution, the collaboration of PSOE, economic protectionism, causes of the anti-regime resistance (military, students) or causes of downfall of the dictatorship belong to the basic topics of the research. For comparison were used archival documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (political news) and secondary literature (J. M. Galán, C. F. Marroyo, M. Tuñón de Lara, J. Tusell, etc.). The result of this work is the claim that the period under review can not define "dual image of Spain", because there are many views among Spanish historians about Primo de Rivera's dictatorship.
