Boďová, Veronika ; Maslowski, Nicolas (advisor) ; Německý, Marek (referee)
This thesis studies evolution of ethnic conflict in Burma and civic techniques used for its resolution. It focuses on some principal players of civic society in Burma and examines the influence of these players on the conflict situation and its possible peaceful resolution. It questions the root causes of the ethnic conflict closely focusing on the not only historical evolution of it, but also on the history of entire Burma in general. It argues that ethnic conflict, as it is shown to the global society, was a result of British colonial rule and its economic and social divison of ethnic minorities in the country. Part of the thesis is also a theoretical definition of conflict and civic society, which should help better understanding of the subject. In the last chapter, attention is being given the key actors of civic society and their past and present endeavours not only in democratization process and ethnic conflict resolution, but on their effort in development of by conflict affected societies in general. At the end it proposes suggestions for their possible future tendencies. Key words History of Burma, Ethnic conflict, Civic society, Democratization

Mayan history reaches back some 4,000 years to what is called the Pre-classic period, when civilization first began in Central America. However, it was during what came to be known as the Classic period (AD 250 to 900) that Mayan culture reached its peak and the Maya achieved their celebrated advances in architecture, mathematics, agriculture, astronomy, art, and other areas. What is my main interest in my work is the conception of time of this great civilization. In 19th century, the study of Maya science and religion has progressed by leaps and bounds.
