Šmídová, Radka ; Köpplová, Barbara (advisor) ; Cihlářová, Gabriela (referee)
Bachelor thesis named 'Role of the Guardian daily newspaper in the British press market' consist of three parts. The first part deals with the mass print and its development in Great Britain. There is a brief history of the very first daily papers appearing in 18th century, their rise during the industrial revolution in the first half of 19th century, followed by the period of press barons, and finally 20th century in the name of large media conglomerates. The contemporary press market is examined from the social class perspective, typical for Great Britain, with the spreading tabloidization increasingly affecting the serious news as well as the growing power of the internet. The mutual influence of media and politics is also very important, mainly in connection with the owner effects. The whole second part is dedicated to the Guardian daily newspaper, mainly to its history dating back to 1821, when the Guardian was established in Manchester as a regional newspaper named the Manchester Guardian. The original title was used until 1959. One of the most interesting aspects of the current Guardian is its website created back in 1999. The third part of the work brings the Media Guardian analysis, namely in the context of other sections of the paper and the content of the Guardian in the years 1990 and...

This Bachelor's thesis is focused on British foreign policy from 1945-1949 towards the Palestinian mandate. In the thesis I analyzed the factors related to the Declaration of the State of Israel. The relationship between these states was very close at that time, because in 1920 Palestine had became a British Mandate. After the Second World War, the situation in Palestine escalated and the development of the relationship culminated in May 1948 when the State of Israel was officially declared. The State of Israel was officialy recognized by Great Britain in 1949. In the thesis attention is paid to the internal situation in Great Britain (the first postwar elections) and to external influences affecting British foreign policy at that time.

The image of the Commonwealth in the United Kingdom, 1991-2011
Růžičková, Jana ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Rovná, Lenka (referee)
Bachelor thesis "The Image of the Commonwealth in the United Kingdom, 1991- 2011" deals with the international organization Commonwealth of Nations, which evolved from the former British Empire after the Second World War and one of the main objectives of this thesis is to reconstruct the image of the Commonwealth in the contemporary United Kingdom. The UK played a pivotal role within the time of the formation of the Commonwealth, but during the sixties the British approach towards the Commonwealth had changed and Britain quietly started to turn away from the organisation. The timeframe of this paper is defined from 1991, the year of publication of the Harare Declaration, to present. By analysing documents and other mainly primary sources in the first section of this paper, the image of the Commonwealth is reconstructed from perspective of three elements of the British society, namely political scene, media and public. Consequently the crucial question whether the image of the Commonwealth corresponds with the reality is answered and areas where the image and the reality do not correspond are emphasised. The reality of the Commonwealth is derived from its official documents and special literature. Besides the reconstruction of the image the paper also deals with other more general topics such as the...

Debate about the introduction of a Bill of Rights in the United Kingdom
Kimelová, Anna ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Kasáková, Zuzana (referee)
Bachelor thesis "Debate about the introduction of a Bill of Rights in the United Kingdom" deals with a debate which has been taking place in the United Kingdom since 2007 and which mainly considers the possibility of introducing an original British Bill of Rights. The thesis presents the most important moments of the debate and opinions of its most significant participants. These are politicians, scholars in the fields of constitutional law and human rights as well as non-governmental organisations, think-tanks and pressure groups. The thesis analyses their arguments and opinions and examines which of these arguments are the most often mentioned and are the most influential. In general, the debate deals most with the questions whether a Bill of Rights should be introduced, what it should include and how it should be entrenched. The character and the content of the debate are significantly affected by the discussion of the current protection of rights in the country. This has been since 1998 represented by the Human Rights Act which incorporated the European Convention on Human Rights into the constitutional system. Its critique stood at the beginning of the debate about a Bill of Rights and the thesis argues that it belongs among the most important arguments for the introduction of a new Bill of...

New Labour and its engagement in the security policy of the European Union. Comparison of the first and second term of Tony Blair
Pavelková, Kristina ; Rovná, Lenka (advisor) ; Váška, Jan (referee)
The thesis analyses the security policy of Great Britain within the context of the security policy of the European Union. By using comparison of New Labour's approach to security policy during the first and second term of Tony Blair in the years 1997-2005, the thesis aims to answer the question whether New Labour managed to keep the pro-European tendencies of Great Britain during both of the terms. The analysis concludes that New Labour failed to maintain its vision of pro-European shift of Great Britain. Since 2001, there is a distinctive shift from European security policy to the American one. Great Britain was mainly interested in its overseas ally at the expense of the European partner after 2001. Partial research question is whether the European security and defence policy was successful or not in promoting the proclaimed objectives within the European Union and whether Great Britain used its security policy to obtain more significant position within the EU. Answer to such question is that Great Britain used its security policy to obtain greater position for negotiation within the EU during the first term of Tony Blair in year 1997-2001 and that in security and defence policy, we talk about New Labour's success in promoting the proclaimed objectives throughout the European Union. Second...

Taxonomy and variability of selected Sorbus taxa
LEPŠÍ, Martin
This thesis is a biosystematic study focusing on the taxonomy and variability of selected taxa of the genus Sorbus, one of the most diverse and taxonomically complicated plant groups in Europe. Classical and modern biosystematic methods - comparative study, chromosome counting, analysis of nuclear microsatellite markers, flow cytometry, and traditional multivariate and outline morphometric analyses were used to assess the morphological, karyological and genetic variability of the genus. The final synthesis of these approaches led to the description of several new taxa (species, hybrids and a subgenus) and the correction of several taxonomic misinterpretations. To reveal ongoing evolutionary processes responsible for the generation of the observed variability, the reproductive modes of 42 Sorbus taxa were examined using flow-cytometric seed and pollen screens. Apart from revealing major trends, the study estimates the frequency of rare events and provides several novel conclusions that are relevant both specifically to Sorbus/Rosaceae and to apomixis in general.

The aim of this bachelor thesis is the reconstruction of the 1838 journey of prince Johann Adolf II. of Schwarzenberg to Great Britain, as described by his wife, princess Eleonore née of Lichtenstein, who accompanied him. In the connection with the British journey of the couple, the thesis also deals with their son, prince Walter Prosper, conceived along the way to Britain. With regard to the premature death of prince Walter, the focus is primarily on his funeral ceremony and the connected rituals. To explore the chosen topic, a lot of archive material, that had not been processed before, was used. Based on said archives, a partial reconstruction of the journey was possible, from the point of view of Eleonore, who is a rather overlooked figure in historiography. Additionally, the funeral ritual of prince Walter is described and compared with common funerals of Schwarzenberg family.
