A genetic doubleness. The National Councils in the political system of Socialist Czechoslovakia
Gjuričová, Adéla
The article focuses on the National Councils in Czechoslovakia during the under-researched period of Socialist parliaments in the 1970 and 1980s. The author demonstrates their functions in the political system. She argues that they were expected to represent the Czech and Slovak "peoples" in the country's complicated representative structure, but their national(ist) trait was a part of the federalization of 1968 and "woke up" immediately after the Velvet Revolution.

The Plans of the Czechoslovak Resistance-In-Exile for the Post-War Organization of Czechoslovakia and Central Europe in the Period of 1938-1945
Roudnická, Zuzana ; Jeřábek, Martin (advisor) ; Kubátová, Hana (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to describe the Czechoslovak resistance plans for the post- war organization of Czechoslovakia which were to be implemented after the end of the Second World War but have never been accomplished. Firstly, the situation in the Czechoslovak resistance is presented. The paper discusses the formation of the Czechoslovak resistance, its transformation into the Czechoslovak government-in-exile, activities of the resistance and problems which needed to be dealt with. This part is essential for understanding latter chapters of the paper. The plans for the post-war organization of Czechoslovakia are studied in the main part of the thesis. The paper features concepts concerning topics such as potential territorial changes, federalisation of Central Europe (including the Czechoslovak-Polish Confederation project), future political system, and the Sudeten German issue. Each concept is described in the context of its background, its development over the course of war, and position of the Allies. The thesis explains the reasons why these plans were abandoned and not carried out after the end of the war.

Presidential systems
Křtěnová, Monika ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Ondřejková, Jana (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the presidential system as one of the distinguished alternatives of existing political systems in the present democratic society. This thesis is divided into three parts. The primary aim of the first part is to produce a brief overview of individual political systems and to outline their mutual differences through the description of their characteristics. The second part describes a specific political system in this world - namely the United States of America which became the source of inspiration for all subsequently established systems of this type. This part focusing on the United States is then divided into three separate chapters where each of them provides a view of particular branches of the government which form a constitutional system of the state together. These chapters offer not only the characteristics of these particular government branches and their central government bodies, but they also explain their mutual relationship and the control mechanism and particularly their relation to the President who is the key character of the entire presidential system, also his office and his powers. The main source of information, from which this part of the thesis proceeds, is the United States Constitution itself which is, as the supreme law of the state, the...

The Political Philosophy of Anarchism in Practice
Gavriněv, Vojtěch ; Charvát, Jan (advisor) ; Kučera, Jan (referee)
The anarchist movement in Spain is the best known attempt to establish a regime based upon the anarchist theory of individual freedom and mutuality. As it is hard to say whether the attempt was successful or not, this study focuses on particular institutions such as unions, cooperative farms, militias and local administrations and examines the rate of anarchist principles in their real functioning.

Comparative analysis of island regions of north European monarchies
Paznocht, David ; Romancov, Michael (advisor) ; Kofroň, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with island territories of the Danish Kingdom and the United Kingdom, specifically Faroe Islands, Isle of Man and marginally Shetland, Orkney and Outer Hebrides. Faroe Islands and Isle of Man share special relations with their mainland countries, which guarantee them high level of autonomy and their own political institutions, parliaments originating in the age of Vikings. These territories also differ from their mainland countries in other aspects, for example history, culture, language, etc. Even though these territories have their own functioning political systems and gradually rising autonomy, they are neglected by the academia, especially in the Czech Republic. Main purpose of this thesis is to explore these systems, their relations between them and their mainland countries and to outline their possible future. Thesis itself is divided into several parts. The first part is the introduction, which familiarizes reader with the topic. The second part is a chapter about the Faroe Islands and their political system. Next part is a chapter about the Isle of Man. After Isle of Man, there is a short chapter dedicated to the Shetland, Orkney and Outer Hebrides. The last part is a conclusion, which summarizes specific aspects of these territories and suggests their future development. Powered by...
