Portuguese attempt to settle Sri Lanka (1580-1630)
Staněk, Karel ; Skřivan, Aleš (advisor) ; Opatrný, Josef (referee) ; Wanner, Michal (referee)
This thesis deals with the Portuguese attempt to settle Sri Lanka in the period between 1580-1630. It analyses, at first, the origin of the colonization project which was a product of the transformation of the character of the Portuguese influence on the island in the transition of 16th and 17th centuries. This character has been changed from commerce oriented on conquest-oriented. At second, it finds the causes of decisive failure of Portuguese and their evaluation. It attempts to contextualize the events within the scope of Portuguese policy in Sri Lanka and within the overall context of the Portuguese expansion in the East. The events outside of the island were immensely important for the development in Sri Lanka because they contribute to the formation of military and political concepts as well as to take of specific decisions. In Sri Lanka, the Portuguese traded since 1506 when they for the first time stood on its shore, but, during the 16th century, they have been still more involved in the local political situation on the part of the Kingdom of Kotte. Finally, during the 80's and 90's of the 16th century, they decided to control the island. In a very short time, they gained under their direct or indirect control all island territories, except the Sri Lankan central plateau on which the...

A problem of integration of African imigrants into the portuguese society
Gottliebová, Anežka ; Hricsina, Jan (advisor) ; Jindrová, Jaroslava (referee)
This thesis covers issues connected with the integration of Portuguese-speaking immigrants from Africa into the Portuguese society. It outlines some of the major problematic areas such as housing, employment, education, relationships and health which immigrants from the PALOP countries have to confront during their integration process in Portugal. To understand the problems associated with the incorporation of these immigrants into the Portuguese society, it was necessary to describe the historical development of their mutual relationships in the historical context. This overview has been included in the work, too, as it helps to sketch how Portuguese people perceive Africans: this issue is discussed in Chapter Three. Next, the paper describes the migration and globalization phenomenon and assesses its possitive and negative impacts within Portugal, touches on problems with the terminology and specifies four basic types of immigrants. Regarding the large extent and complexity of this issue, this work should be considered only as an introduction to study of the theme.

Democratization of Portugal and Romania: is it possible to study transitions to democracy by unified models?
Kasper, Petr ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Adler, Tomáš (referee)
In my paper, I will attempt to answer the question "Is it possible to study transitions to democracy by unified models?" I will seek for an answer using cases of Romania and Portugal, the two states where non-democratic rule had elements of personal dictatorship and its overthrow had signs of a change coming from opposition. My assumption is that studying by unified model is not possible and I will try to find evidence for this statement. In my paper I use theoretical work of Samuel P. Huntington, Vladimíra Dvořáková and Jiří Kunc who study types of transitions to democracy. Dvořáková and Kunc also describe phases of these transitions. From work of Adam Przeworski I use the view of democratization causes. Using these theoretical concepts I will study specific cases of democratization in Romania and Portugal. I will use works of Miroslav Tejchman, Kurt W. Treptow, Katel Durman, Gale Stokes and Steven D. Roper in case of Romania and Jan Klíma, and especially Kenneth Maxwell in case of Portugal.

Brazilian emigration in Portugal after its adherence to the European Community
Stanzelová, Magdalena ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Tomalová, Eliška (referee)
Bachelor thesis Brazilian emigration in Portugal after its adherence to the European Community deals with the migration flow coming from Brazil to Portugal after 1986. It describes its evolution in time, concentrating on the comparison of its specific waves. The work gives an overview of the factors that cause that the Brazilians often choose Portugal as their target country, as well as treaties that give this relationship an international framework. The thesis analyses the causes, development and consequences of this migration flow. The second part of the work is dedicated to the comparison of the first wave of immigration that started in the late 1980s, and the second one, that took place between 1998 and 2003. The work aims to prove that both waves differ in motives of emigration, as well as in qualification and education level of the emigrants and their incorporation on the Portuguese labour market.

Ideology, censorship, indirect translations and non-translation: Czech literature in 20th -century Portugal
Špirk, Jaroslav ; Králová, Jana (advisor) ; Seruya, Teresa Maria Menano (referee) ; Mánek, Bohuslav (referee)
The present doctoral thesis investigates book translations of Czech and Slovak literature into European Portuguese in 20th -century Portugal. The Introduction gives reasons for choosing the topic, argues for its relevance and outlines the structure of the thesis. It defines the main research question, 'What was the presence of Czech literature translated into European Portuguese in 20th -century Portugal?', and formulates the hypothesis to be tested: 'The translations of Czech literature in 20th century Portugal exhibited a tendency, a pattern.' Chapter 1 attempts to operationalise seven theoretical issues pertinent to Translation Studies in general: (1) ideology, (2) censorship, (3) indirect translations, (4) non- translation, (5) canon and world literature, (6) paratexts, and (7) medium-sized lingua- & socio-cultures. Chapter 2 delineates the research subject, discusses the most important types of sources and materials used and presents the methodology. The principal research subject is defined as translations of Czech fiction into European Portuguese published in book form in Portugal in the 20th century. Seminal works by J. Levý and A. Popovič are introduced, discussing the methodology most apposite to analysing the material found. Chapter 3 provides a general historical, political and cultural...

Democratization of Portugal and Romania: is it possible to study transitions to democracy by unified models?
Kasper, Petr ; Kučera, Rudolf (advisor) ; Šušlíková, Lada (referee)
In my paper, I will attempt to answer the question "Is it possible to study transitions to democracy by unified models?" I will seek for an answer using cases of Romania and Portugal, the two states where authoritarian rule had the form of personal dictatorship and was overthrown without government cooperation. My assumption is that studying by unified model is not possible and I will try to find evidence for this statement. In my paper I use theoretical work of Samuel P. Huntington, Vladimíra Dvořáková and Jiří Kunc who study types of transitions to democracy. Dvořáková and Kunc also describe phases of these transitions. From work of Adam Przeworski I use the view of democratization causes. Using these theoretical concepts I will study specific cases of democratization in Romania and Portugal. I will use works of Miroslav Tejchman, Kurt W. Treptow and Jiří Kocian in case of Romania and Jan Klíma, Simona Binková, Zuzana Budinová and Kenneth Maxwell in case of Portugal.

Portugal's integration into the European Communities
Řeháková, Anna ; Šušlíková, Lada (advisor) ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (referee)
The main subject of this bachelor thesis is the change of Portugal during the years 1974-1986. In the beginning there was the transition from authoritarian to democratic regime. Major political and economical reforms were started. There was also a change of direction in the foreign policy. Portugal resigned on keeping colonial empire, which had been very expensive, and started to focus on Europe - and especially the European Communities. This thesis examines the influence of political and economical transition on the running integration process and the influence of European Communities on the process of democratization and economical reforms (in Portugal). The last point of the main subject of the thesis is Portugal's entry to the European Communities. Besides the main subject the thesis describes the political and historical development of Portugal since the first republic, going from authoritarian regime to democratization. Another subject is Portugal's role in European Communities and the support of its citizens toward the EC. At last but not at least there is mentioned the change of European Communities during and after the second south enlargement.

Estado Novo regime in Portugal
Horčičková, Lucie ; Šušlíková, Lada (advisor) ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (referee)
In my bachelor thesis "Portugal regime Estado Novo" I deal with Portugal Empire from the foundation of republic in 1910 to downfall of Portugal Empire in 1974. I will analyze the regime of Estado Novo, define his properties, institutions and principles. To analyze the regime I use an intrinsic study and compare The New States with other regimes. At first I deal with the first republic form the foundation in 1910 to and the military coup in May 1926. Salazar became the Minister of Finance and in 1932 became the Prime Minister of Portugal. Through the constitution of 1933 Salazar instituted an authoritarian regime, so -called The New States. In the second part I will analyze the system, constitution of 1933, ideology and the principles of the regime (church, corporativism, army and secret policy). In the third part I deal with foreign policy of the New States. And I analyze the international relationships between Portugal, Germany, Italy, Spain and Czechoslovakia. In the past part I deal with inner political situation and with problems in the colonies of Portugal. In 1968 Salazar resigned because of health problems and the new Prime Minister Marcelo Caetano didn't master the problems. The situation in Portugal Empire ended in carnation revolution in 1974.

Legal regulation of international arbitration in the Czech Republic and Portugal
Přib, Jan ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Dobiáš, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with legislation of international arbitration in Czech republic and Portugal. The choice of international arbitration and of these countries particularly as the object of the work has not been done coincidentally of course, the reason is, despite Czech republic and Portugal are countries with that do have a lot in common, e.g. their membership in European Union, similar economic power and current situation and relatively significant activity in international trade that the area of Portuguese legislation of international arbitration and of the whole system of law from the Czech view and vice versa remains still almost unexplored. The choice of international arbitration was not random either. Such choice was made due to the fact that arbitration is probably the most significant way of out-of-court settlement of disputes in last years and decades with use still increasing. It offers parties a private settlement of litigation with easy enforceability of rendered arbitration award abroad, and foreing arbitration award at home. Therefore, the objectives of this work were not solely to describe the present legislation of international arbitration but also to enable the reader to comprehend particular legal provisions correctly in a sense of their legal background. The work analyses the...
