Jeřábek, Martin ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Skřivan, Aleš (referee)
The theme of this thesis is economic reforms in Czechoslovakia and German Democratic Republic (GDR) during the sixties of 20th century. In the first part I focus on the progress of economy in Czechoslovakia. After major problems with planning came the need to implement fundamental reforms of the system. The primary reform steps and also the attitudes of the political leading to implement the steps are interpreted here. I focus on the final phase of reforming process in 1968 and its termination by military intervention in August of 1968 as well. In the following part the complicated relations in post-war East Germany, where the similar economic development to Czechoslovakia took place in the fifties, are interpreted. The pursuit of equalization with West Germany and the regime dissatisfaction of the population compelled the main representatives of GDR to reform the system of leading economics. Despite good results, which the new system brought, it was not able to keep and deepen the system. The aim of the thesis is to answer reasons why the reforms in both countries did not succeed.

Boom in the weapon production in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s
Pejsar, Adam ; Skřivan, Aleš (advisor) ; Chalupecký, Petr (referee)
The position and history of the Czechoslovak Republic played a key role in its decision to focus on the weapon industry during the interwar period. Given the unstable situation in the newly emerged countries in the Central European region and with respect to the tradition of a heavy-weapon production, Czechoslovakia began to produce arms on a much larger scale. The increasing armament in 1930s was not even stopped by the Great Depression. Furthermore, weapon production helped the country to report higher exports and boosted the otherwise stagnating economy. The boom in the weapon production came during 1934-1938. Due to the quality of Czechoslovak arms and the high demand for them abroad, the Czechoslovak total export showed at least a slight increasing trend during this period. Nevertheless, large public expenditures in this sector had to be covered by augmenting public debt and increased tax rates.
