Czechoslovak-Spanish relations (1918-1977)
Timko, Maroš ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Chalupa, Jiří (referee) ; Eiroa San Francisco, Matilde (referee)
The dissertation focuses on Czechoslovak-Spanish relations between 1918-1977. The main focus of the thesis is the research of the Spanish communist exile in post-war Czechoslovakia and the Slovak and Czech anti-communist exile in Francoist Spain, using new methodological approaches and concepts (everyday resistance, (im)mobility). Through the case studies focusing on the everyday life of "heterodox" Spanish exiles, the thesis also addresses the question of the dichotomy between the Spanish collectives in Ústí nad Labem and Prague. The research is also oriented towards the question of the development of economic relations between the people's democratic Czechoslovakia and Franco's Spain, as well as the subsequent process of the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, with an aim to contextualise the post-war Czechoslovak-Spanish relations within the reality of the Cold War. Last but not least, the thesis analyses the relations between both the individual emigrants (the leaders of the exile and its "rank and file" members) and between the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ) and the Communist Party of Spain (PCE). Keywords: Czechoslovakia; Spain; Exile; Communist Party; Cold War; everyday resistance; (im)mobility
Ferdinand Klindera and project of Austria-Hungarian colony in Argentina
Přibilová, Lucie ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Baďura, Bohumil (referee)
Ferdinand Klindera byl v českém i zahraničním povědomí v období první republiky znám především jako starosta Ústřední jednoty hospodářských družstev, blízký spolupracovník Antonína Švehly a dlouholetý propagátor družstevnictví. Ve své práci jsem se zaměřila především na období, které předcházelo jeho působení na předních místech české politické scény. Věnovala jsem se hlavně počátku 20. století a období kolem roku 1911. V tomto roce se stal Ferdinand Klindera účastníkem průzkumné výpravy směřující do argentinské provincie Chubut. Organizátorem celého projektu byl rakouský průmyslník Artur Krupp, který měl zájem zřídit v Argentině hospodářskou kolonii, do které měl být směřován proud emigrantů z Rakouska-Uherska, projekt měl významně zasáhnout do otázky vystěhovalectví na přelomu století. Zároveň měla kolonie fungovat jako odbytiště rakouských výrobků a případně i dodávat zemědělské plodiny a produkty jako bylo obilí či maso. Myšlenka realizovat kolonii v Argentině vznikla nejpozději v roce 1910, kdy byla v Buenos Aires uspořádána velká hospodářsko-průmyslová výstava, které se účastnila i rakouská delegace v čele právě s Arturem Kruppem. Hlavním propagátorem realizace kolonie v Argentině byl původně pozdější konzul v Hamburku Mikuláš Post, který se na výstavě s Kruppen často stýkal. Myšlenka Artura Kruppa...

The history of mining, processing and exportation of the Chilean nitrates. Political, economic and social context (1830-1930)
Hladíková, Eva ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Nálevka, Vladimír (referee)
Historie těžby, zpracování a vývozu ledku v provinciích Tarapacá a Antofagasta (dnes sevemí Chile) tvoří důležitou součást historie chilského homictví a počátků industrializace regionu, který do tzv. ledkové války patřil Peru a Bolívii. Přesto bylo toto téma chilskými historiky opomíjeno až do poloviny 20. století, kdy zaznamenáváme rozvoj ekonomické a sociální historiografie. Dalším faktorem, který v určité míře přetrvává do dnešní doby, byla jistá okrajovost zájmu centra o sevemí region, vzdálený jak z hlediska geografického, tak z hlediska mocenského. Zpracováním tohoto tématu se zabývali a zabývají vedle chilských historiků i autoři z dalších zemí (Peru, Bolívie, USA, Velká Británie) a nepřekvapí, že ve svých analýzách docházejí k často odlišným závěrům. A třebaže těžba ledku nemá dnes prakticky téměř žádný význam, jeden z následků pacifické války - ztráta přístupu Bolívie k moři - představuje stále živý problém, nehledě na fakt, že oblast dříve bolívijské Antofagasty je nejvýznamnějším, dnes chilským, nalezištěm mědi v LA a jedním ze základních zdrojů chilského národního bohatství. I současný vývoj v bolívijsko- a peruánskochilských vztazích svědčí o tom, že rány z minulosti nejsou zdaleka zaceleny i přes existenci vzájemných smluv formálně situaci upravuj ících.

Characteristics of tourism in San Francisco de Sales
Liška, Juraj ; Opatrný, Josef (referee)
Characteristics of Tourism in San Francisco de Sales, Colombia (a doctoral thesis summary) The country areas of Departamento Cundinamarca, which creates the background of the nine-million-inhabitant capital city of Bogotá and thus represents the most important Colombian region, have shown a significantly decreasing production and effectiveness of both primary and secondary economic sector since the second half of the 20th century. Consequently, since the end of 1990s, an economic alternative has been sought in various regions of Colombia. Ecotourism, which has been found as a reasonable solution, appears to be a suitable economic alternative also for the town of San Francisco de Sales. Active tourism in Colombia, i.e. tourists coming to the country, has decreased recently as a result of the problematic situation of the country. However, despite the economic crisis, domestic tourism remains the moving force of development on both local and regional levels in many areas. This research does not include one of the significant phenomena of the Cundinamarca region countryside, i.e. "the second home". The main purpose of this research is to identify and characterise tourism developing in the town of San Francisco. The author researches possibilities of sustainable development of the town provided by its hotel...
Ohrožení ekonomických zájmů EU v Jižní a Střední Americe.
Frýda, Jiří ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Kovář, Martin (referee) ; Barteček, Ivo (referee)
The dissertation analyses the threats to economic interests of EU in Latin America - mostly focused on MERCOSUR's countries. Both regions share history, cultural and social bonds which were interrupted by the Cold War. During this period was Latin America a natural zone of interest of the United States (similarity with East Europe and USS R). The fundamental event is the end of bipolarity. The dissertation is mostly focused on one decade between 2003-2013. The three main chapters define the concept of economic security, the relationship between the EU-Latin America on the background of the historical insight and third main chapter analyses China's engagement in Latin America. In the post-Cold War period came a significant paradigmatic shift in the perception of economic security/vulnerability. Considering the asymmetry of relations between the two regions, we analyze a historical background, including the so-called "shared values" that partially (but not entirely) can be challenged. Relations between the two regions are viewed as highly pragmatic with a strong emphasis on trade ties. China as a new element in the region, where traditionally has competed the United States and Europe, is the core topic of the main third chapter. Latin America isn't perceived as a single region, but it is consider in...
