Wnuczka Polaka, Mutti von Deutschland: Angela Merkel's Crisis Management from a Polish Perspective (2014-2016)
Krempaská, Barbora ; Handl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Rydel, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with Angela Merkel's crisis management using the example of the Ukrainian and migration crises in the Polish political discourse. The aim of the research, which relied on the method of content analysis of stenographic transcripts of meetings of the Polish Sejm, was to find out how the Polish political elite perceived crisis management of Angela Merkel as the leader of Germany and the EU in these crises, what motivation they thought accompanied these actions, and what this showed about the Polish political scene itself. Before Angela Merkel left the chancellor's chair after 16 years, she was regarded as one of the most powerful world leaders, having led Germany and the EU through several major crises. However, many of the German Chancellor's actions have become divisive within the EU and, as the example of Poland has shown, also in the internal politics of the Member States. The analysis has revealed that the assessment of Angela Merkel's policies by Polish MPs mirrors the internal political split between the two major Polish parties, the Civic Platform and Law and Justice.

The Carpathian Germans and Slovaks in the Slovak National Uprising: the end of the hundreds of years old coexistence
Krempaská, Barbora ; Kučera, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Nigrin, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the events of the Slovak National Uprising, which had an impact on the coexistence of Slovaks and Carpathian Germans. The aim of the work was to find out when the Slovaks and members of the German minority were alienated so much that we could talk about the end of their coexistence, which seemed to have been without major conflicts for centuries. The Czechoslovak anti-fascist resistance culminated in the Slovak National Uprising which overthrew to the fight against the Germans in the form of persecutions and reprisals against the domestic German population. When looking for an answer to the research question, the complexity of this problem has been shown to lie, in particular, in the abundance of insurgency actors and the foreign influence on the course of its events. The thesis will introduce the German minority in Slovakia and its relationship with the domestic population across history in this area, while the main part is devoted to the socio-political situation in the Slovak State in 1944 and 1945. The result of facts coming from a number of secondary literature, but also edited testimonies of the memorials are that the end of co-existence of Slovaks and Carpathian Germans really occurred at the time of the uprising.
