Polish Ethnic Community in Germany
Cimflová, Marcela ; Kučera, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Nieć, Grzegorz (referee)
This thesis deals with a Polish national group in Germany, Polonia, comprising about 2 million Poles and Germans with Polish origin. Polonia has a very well-developed organizational structure in Germany that takes care of Polish culture, language and traditions, as well as stands up for its rights listed in the Polish-German Treaty from the Polish-German Treaty of Good Neighborhood and Friendly Cooperation of 1991. Periodical roundtables and conferences that are crucial for the Polish-German dialogue show problems that the Polish group faces. There are asymmetries in the fulfilment of the Polish-German treaty of 1991, which guarantee the same rights for the Polish group in Germany as for the German minority in Poland: whereas the latter is officially recognized as a national minority in Poland, the former has not been awarded the minority status. Furthermore, there is a lack of funding in the case of Polonia, which prevents the effective functioning of Polish organizations, and the unsatisfactory level of teaching Polish at public schools. Author of the thesis comes to the conclusion that although the Polish national group is not a de jure recognized national minority, it de facto has the rights that are commonly attributed to a national minority. Moreover, the analysis showed that the Poles are...

Serbian minority in Croatia: Development of the Legal Status During the Integration to the European Union, 2000-2011
Kalánek, Filip ; Šístek, František (advisor) ; Tejchman, Miroslav (referee)
This bachelor thesis concerns with the development of the legal status of the Serbian minority in Croatia during the period of the integration of Croatia to the European union in years 2000- 2011. This thesis uses the historical approach to research the attitude of Croatian governments towards Serbs. The research of this attitude is based on enacted laws connected to national minorities, the implementation of guaranteed rights and the willingness of ruling politicians to maintain interests of the Serbian minority. These mentioned points belong to domestic political affairs, however the position of the national minorities was significantly affected by the EU because of an ambition of every single government to join the union. Since the year 2000 the legal position of Serbs has improved in comparison to 90's when anti-Serbian mood, which was fostered by the governing Croatian democratic community, was spread through whole Croatian society. Significant part of the Serbian issue represents property rights of refugees who left the country during a war in 90's. The normalization of Serbian position formally ended in 2011 when Croatia fulfilled all EU conditions liked to the protection of national minorities and finished accession talks. This thesis concludes that EU played a key role in improving legal...

The master thesis deals with public policies in the area of Roma minority inclusion in the modern history of the Czech Republic after 1989. The main objective of the thesis is to identify, by applying the theory of social construction of target populations, the form of state intervention in solviing the exclusion of the Roma minority from society. And then to find out what influence the social construction of the Roma and their political possibilities play here. The research consists in analysing and identifying the different elements of the theory in the following order: 1. Analysis of public policies for Roma integration; 2. Analysis of the social construction of the Roma; 3. Analysis of the political power of Roma.

In this step, I will analyse a convolute of public policy documents, which includes international legal conventions, domestic minority laws and strategic documents. In the next step, I will focus on the social image of the Roma, the form of which, according to the social construction theory of target populations, plays an undeniable role in the formulation of public policies and the behaviour of elected officials. The last main effort to fulfil the aim of the thesis...
