Adult Civic Education in Germany. The case study: The Saxon State Agency for Civic Education
Doležalová, Anežka ; Müller, Karel (advisor) ; Husák, Jan (referee)
Germany draws on a unique net of state-founded institutions operating in the adult civic education field established after the Second World War to promote democratic values in the society. These Agencies for Civic Education work at state and federal level and are non-partisan. This thesis seeks to grasp the phenomenon of universal adult civic education in Germany, while focusing on The Saxon State Agency for Civic Education; on how is it organized, and whether and how its activities proved beneficial in the context of the current socio-political situation. The first part will elaborate on historic, conceptual and institutional background of adult civic education in Germany. The second part, a case study, will focus on the current socio-political situation in Saxony, and the reaction of The Saxon State Agency for Civic Education to the challenges arising especially from the current migration crisis. The thesis will be based on the information from electronic and printed sources primarily in German; some of them provided by the Saxon State Agency. The complementary source will be an interview, which was conducted with two representatives of the Agency.

Rambousek, Filip ; Kunštát, Miroslav (advisor) ; Konrád, Ota (referee)
The thesis analyses housing policy in the Federal Republic of Germany and Czechoslovakia in 1948/9-1960. The aim of the thesis is to verify the assumption, that whereas housing policy of the FRG can be considered as rather successful, that of Czechoslovakia was rather unsuccessful. In addition to that, the thesis aims at interpreting the success/failure with respect to 1) the factual political steps of the two regimes, 2) the level of economic development and demographic trends, 3) the traditions of housing policies before 1948/9 and 4) the situation in housing sector immediately after WWII. The successfulness of housing policy is derived from its results in realm of dwelling construction, financial affordability and quality of housing. The methodological section contains a theoretical classification of the two political and social systems and a definition of housing policy and criteria of the comparison. Following two chapters analyse housing policy traditions before 1948/9 and housing policy of the two states in 1948/9-1960. In the latter case, before anything else, the chapter introduces the institutional framework, main actors and the most important legislation. However, the comparison as such is rather based on results of the respective housing policies. These are - in the last section -...

V kontextu občanského vzdělávání jsou prezentovány instituce a aktéři, kteří v Sasku na tomto poli působí s cílem eliminovat pravicový extremismus ve společnosti. Text rovněž definuje, jak velké nebezpečí subkultura ve společnosti představuje. Vláda se snaží s pravicovým extremismem vypořádat, i když se žádná politická strana nedostává přímo do parlamentu. Jde především o hrozbu společenskou spočívající v páchání trestné činnosti, schopnosti mobilizace a tvoření chybných ideologických přesvědčení. Stát chce primárně svoje občany chránit před kriminální činností, vzdělávat je a rozvíjet demokratické uvědomění, přičemž systém občanského vzdělávání Spolkové republiky Německo je celosvětově považován za vzor, jelikož se obor po druhé světové válce stal díky specifickému vnímání pravicového extremismu součástí německé identity

The radicalization of East German youth - the case of Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund
Šašková, Klára ; Nigrin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Handl, Vladimír (referee)
The exposure of the terrorist organisation Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund (National Socialist Underground, NSU) in November 2011 exposed the still topical problem that is the right-wing scene in contemporary Germany. The Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund consisted of three young people: Beate Zschäpe, Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Böhnhardt. The group managed to stay hidden for over ten years without being discovered by the police or the authorities during which time its members committed at least ten murders, fifteen robberies and two bomb attacks. Its discovery reopened the issue of how the Federal Republic of Germany has been dealing with both its Nazi-past and its current right-wing scene. This thesis focuses on the radicalization of East German youth in the 1990s and presents this trend using the aforementioned group as an example. Firstly, right-wing extremism is characterized and this part is followed by the description of the specifics of right-wing extremism in GDR and the new federal states (Bundesländer). The thesis then describes the lives of the three members before the formation of the group, the operation of the group while hidden as well as the crimes linked to the group. Firstly, it focuses on the bank robberies the trio used to gain financial resources, secondly, on the murders...
