Irsko a proces oddělování od Británie
Andrýsová, Lenka ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; Vondrušková, Barbora (referee)
Ve práci se zabývám oddělením Irska od Británie. Zmiňuji problémy, které vedly k rozpadu anglo-irské unie. Uvádím spektrum důvodů, proč k rozdělení došlo. Neopomíjím náboženské rozpory, ekonomickou či politickou perspektivu, ale i vliv médií. Výčet problémů je dobarven historickým přehledem klíčových událostí, jako je například Velikonoční povstání či velký hladomor. Irskou otázku jsem navíc aplikovala na Hrochovu teorii o nacionalismu a teorii styčných linií Lipseta a Rokkana.
