Karnitskaya, Helena ; Šmidrkal, Václav (advisor) ; Handl, Vladimír (referee)
The bachelor thesis "The role of Mikhail Gorbachev in the process of reunification of Germany" aims to analyze the position of the last Soviet leader in the negotiations towards eliminating the division of Germany into two German states - Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and German Democratic Republic (GDR). The work analyzes the changes in the Soviet-German relations after the election of Gorbachev as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. This thesis focuses on the foreign policy of the Soviet leader inspired by the concept of the "New Thinking" and its influence on the fate of divided Germany. The greatest attention is paid to the attitudes of the last Soviet statesman in several aspects: the possibility of a German reunification, NATO-membership of the reunited state and the conditions of withdrawal of the Soviet troops from the GDR territory. The last part of the thesis is a reflection of the negotiations on the reunification of Germany in the Czechoslovak press (Lidové noviny).

The Impact of the Fall of the Berlin Wall on RAF
Matějková, Nikola ; Renner, Tomáš (advisor) ; Daňková, Šárka (referee)
The terrorist group Red Army Fraction ("RAF"), which jeopardized the public security with their attacks in West Germany since the seventies and killed more than three thousand people, issued a statement of official closure on April 20, 1998 after 28 years of its activity. This thesis tries to answer the question whether the fall of the Berlin Wall brought the final dissolution of the group. In addition to geopolitical changes it is also necessary to take into account the instruments of the national security policy and the split of opinion within the group. The geopolitical reversal in 1989 had two negative impacts on the RAF. Firstly it meant a devastating ideological defeat for them, even though the former GDR or any other Eastern Bloc country did not respond fully to their expectations. Another shock for them was the arrest of ten former RAF-members who were hiding in the GDR under a false identity. They eventually filed an extensive testimony, so that their sentences could be commuted. Federal Republic of Germany, which had not been too successful in the fight against terrorism up to this time, used the internal weakness of the RAF caused by political circumstances and it finally introduced new instruments to further destabilize the group and led to a rift between prisoners and members at large....

Asylum policy of Germany (FGR) since reunification
Rynešová, Lenka ; Šauer, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
Germany was, is and will be an immigration country. We talk about an asylum policy since the reunification of Germany in 1990. Germany needed immigrants during the whole 21st century, on the other hand struggled with fear of their negative impacts on the economy and society. One hundred and thirty years since the recruitment of seasonal workers from abroad in the German Empire and 50 years from the recruitment of Turkish guest workers undoubtedly indicates a good (and necessary) time to create a more effective immigration and asylum policy. The integration of foreigners, especially Turks, is nowadays the main goal. As the social climate of German society has never been characterized by diversity, the main task of current German government is to create an opened German society towards foreigners and their integration.
