Yasin, Jana ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Kocian, Jiří (referee) ; Jančík, Drahomír (referee)
This doctoral dissertation delves into fundamental issues pertaining to humanitarian aid and economic support from the United States within the context of post-war European reconstruction. Such extensive and organized economic assistance had no historical precedent and had to confront challenges such as the devastation of European nations and their economic systems due to the six-year-long war and occupation, as well as the extensive refugee problem. The dissertation further focuses on several key aspects: 1. Structure and Organization of Economic Assistance: It provides a comprehensive examination of the intricate structure and organization of economic assistance programs. 2. Financial Aspects of Programs: The research investigates the financial aspects of these initiatives, including budgetary allocations, funding sources, and resource distribution for reconstruction projects. 3. The Refugee Question: A significant portion of the work is dedicated to addressing the refugee issue, exploring how humanitarian aid aimed to mitigate the challenges associated with displaced populations. 4. Economic Aid as a Tool of Political Power: The study analyzes the extent to which Western economic assistance served as a tool of political influence, with a focus on its diplomatic and geopolitical implications. 5....

The private agricultural sector during communism in Czechoslovakia
Benda, Daniel ; Jančík, Drahomír (advisor) ; Jakubec, Ivan (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is prepared as an overview of the functioning of the private agricultural sector in Czechoslovakia during the period of communism (1948-1989). In addition to the more generally known facts about the course of collectivization in the 1950s, it brings completely new and previously unpublished information about the lives of private farmers after the end of the collectivization process after 1960. However, it avoids the specifics of the Slovak region, and instead focuses territorially on South Bohemia. Structurally, the work is divided into two larger parts. In the first, it deals with the issue chronologically, and in the second, it discusses individual topics from the professional and private life of private farmers in more detail. It answers the questions of how the private agricultural sector under communism before and after 1960 functioned economically, how it managed to resist collectivization and how its actors fared in private. In the conclusion, above all, it disproves the assumption of the existing historiography about private farmers after 1960 as insignificant islands pushed to the margins of society suffering from constant persecution and living in permanent poverty. It shows that the situation was different and more complicated in many ways and most of all depended...

The Order of Malta and its activity in the Czech lands during the years 1874-1938
Pola, Martin ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Županič, Jan (referee) ; Sklenář, Michal (referee)
(in English): The Knights of St. John, also known as the "Johanniter", the Knights Hospitaller or the Knights of Malta, are undoubtedly the most important chivalric order of Christendom, which played an important role in the history of Europe. The Order came to the Czech lands in the 12th century and has been continuously active here ever since, although its activities in Czechoslovakia were almost completely suppressed between 1948 and 1990 and the Grand Priory survived only thanks to its members in exile. The present dissertation describes the activities of this Order in the Czech lands between 1874 and 1938. It focuses on the organizational and social aspects of the Order's activity as well as on its economic side. Nor does the priestly branch of the Order stand aside from the interest of this dissertation. The defined period was a time of revolutionary changes - until 1918 the Order could enjoy the support of the Austro-Hungarian elites, including the Emperor, however after the collapse of the monarchy it had to find its place in the new civil society and even fight for its existence. The Order did not see the successful culmination of these efforts in the Czech lands until the late 1930s, but in the light of the coming historical events, these achievements had only a very short life.

A. Schram family company over time and several generations (1868-1945)
Jandek, Prokop ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Štolleová, Barbora (referee)
(in English): The intent of this paper is to analyze the history of the family firm A. Schram, from her founding in the year 1868 till 1938. The focus point for her activity was chemical industry, primarily the sale of explosives and the manufacturing of superphosphate, the most widely used phosphatic fertilizer at that time. On one hand the Schram family is examined, or rather multiple of her generations, on the other hand the firm is put into the context of her shifting position on the market with superphosphate. The aim was to also allow the comparison of the company with her peers in long-term horizon. This is achieved by correlating different business strategies and through the collection comparable quantifiable data. Another goal of the paper was the confrontation of conclusions taken from jubilee brochures about the success of the company with primary documents. The effect of processes typical for family firms has also become the object of interest. This includes the intent of developing business relation through marital policy that would allow gaining some form of competitive advantage, for example. Further analysis is dedicated to the topic of generational transitions, that often led to ownership fragmentation and therefore it lowered the ability of said firm to adopt business decisions.

The Fight for Alcohol - Lobby, Restrictions, Demand, Supply: From Franz Joseph to Klement Gottwald
Maier, Tomáš ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Jančík, Drahomír (referee)
(česky) Předkládaná diplomová práce si klade za cíl zhodnotit sociální a ekonomické aspekty, které měly vliv či podíl na formování trhu s alkoholickými nápoji v období od konce Rakousko- Uherské monarchie do nastolení komunistického režimu v Československu, respektive v českých zemích. Potvrzuje se zde hypotéza, že celý sektor nejen v tomto období byl pod značným vlivem jak alkoholové lobby na straně nabídky (produkce) a obchodního článku, na straně poptávky (spotřeby) pak pod někdy až fanatickým tlakem rozličných protialkoholních hnutí a také pod tlakem politiků. Závěr diplomové práce je doplněn kliometrickým modelováním spotřeby alkoholických nápojů v období první republiky za využití tzv. Engelových funkcí. Diplomová práce vychází nejvíce z již existujících obdobných studí a dále zejména z dobového tisku, materiálů z jednání parlamentu, nejvíce pak stenoprotokolů a v neposlední řadě z celé řady archivních materiálů, nejvíce pak z materiálů Archivu Národního muzea.
