The attempts to restore the Czech civil society in 1968. The social democracy, Club of the engaged non-party men and K 231 - Association of former political prisoners
Hoppe, Jiří ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor) ; Kocian, Jiří (referee) ; Jirásek, Zdeněk (referee)
The major subject of this thesis is to follow the activities of the restoring Czech civil society during the Prague Spring era that were aimed at setting up a plurality political system, at the decomposition of one-party government, or at the changes in the self-contained (closed) National Front system as it had emerged, or had been forcibly formed after 1948 February. The Phenomenon of the restoring civic society has been presented here in three specific models, namely the civic and political activation preserving the efforts to restore a traditional political party (namely Social Democratic Party), to be followed by the pre-political and in its substance clubbing activities of the non-party public in formation of Club of Engaged Non- Party Men, a lucidly nondescript organization; finally then, a formally clearly determinate K- 231 club endeavouring the judicial, civic and social rehabilitation of its members. Within the contexts of the Prague Spring events, these are the most fragrant documents of self-formation of the citizens without assistance of the political power; in the final effects, even against it. The attempt to restore the Social Democracy (Social Democratic Party, SDP in further) during the Prague Spring 1968 era could be appreciated as an intuitive effort to impair the dogma on the so-called...

The statute of domestic servants in Prague's middle class households in the turn od the 20th century. Identity, social mobility and the way of their lives
Machková Prajzová, Naděžda ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor) ; Vošahlíková, Pavla (referee) ; Macková, Marie (referee)
This thesis deals with the social group of domestic servants, concretely with the maids in Prague's households at the turn of the 20th century (untill the twenties). The servants were the integrant part of the households until the recent times. This social group appeared in various kinds of forms, in various kinds of roles and settings. To have the servants was the symbol for beeing a part of prestigious level of the society. The reasons for keeping the servants could, however, be also pragmatic for many not so rich households - there was a need of employment, resp. ocupation for all the adult members of those families in the (family) trade or farming. The second half of the 19th century is the time of big changes for this social group. The progressive industrialization and the modernization and the urbanization of the society lead to the falling of traditional form of the self-supporting family, further to the restriction of the working load for women and also to the lesser need of the family servants. The domestic servant demand started to be determinated with the social status instead of the economic situation of the family. This demand defines the Maid and also her new duties. There was about one third of the Czech households and one half of the German ones in Prague keeping a housemaid around 1900....

Activity and position of Walter Bertsch in the area of economy during Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
Guttek, Lukáš ; Jančík, Drahomír (referee) ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor)
Walter Bertsch to ok a great share in integrating the Protectorate's economy into the system of planned economy, mobilizing their resources and establishing organizational form based on the German model. Within the frame of Heydrich's administrative reform Bertsch was named Minister of recently built-up ministry of labour and economic affairs. This led to the removal of the double-Ieading at the top of the Protectorate's economy governing. Bertsch, a prominent figure of economy, regarded the potentiality of the Protectorate's economy with austerity. He knew where the performance limits of economy lay in. Accordingly he strove for lowering over-exposed requirements which came from Reich. As far as germanization of the Protectorate's economy is concerned, Bertsch's measures were part of a wider line that lay in the intensifying of German ethnic and German influence over the Protectorate. In terms of the orders of appointing German trustees into favoured companies, Bertsch became a member of a number of supervisory boards of significant Protectorate's companies, such as Škoda Works in Pilsen or Bata Company in Zlín. The management of these companies expected from his appointment facilitation of communication with Protectorate and Reich institutions. In Berlin they were probably very satisfied with his work...

DISERTAČNÍ PRÁCE ABSTRACT ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ NÁMOŘNÍ PLAVBA, 1948-1989 CZECHOSLOVAK OCEAN SHIPPING, 1948-1989 2016 Lenka Krátká This work is concentrated on the topic of establishment and development of the Czechoslovak ocean shipping in the period 1948-1989. The theme is presented with using a large number of primary archive sources and relevant secondary literature. In addition, the text offers an insight into the topic through the memoirs of former Czechoslovak seafarers collected with the use of oral history method. The primary aim of this work is to capture the history of the Czechoslovak ocean shipping in a broader context of political, economic, and foreign policy development of Czechoslovakia in the given period. A key moment for founding a merchant fleet represented the year 1948, the communist coup d'état respectively, when the country came into the sphere of the Soviet Union's influence and transformed its economy into a centrally planned one with the absence of market principles. These specific circumstances enabled to develop a transport sector which Czechoslovakia did not have either natural conditions, or practical experience with. Based on a politically motivated decision, the Czechoslovak ocean shipping in the early 1950s was developed in cooperation with the People's Republic of China. By this...

Transfer and interpretation. Expatriation of Czechoslovak citizens of German birth 1945-1947 and its accounts in daily newspaper
Klimeš, David ; Bednařík, Petr (referee) ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor)
The aim of my thesis is to analyze the transfer of the Gennan people as covered by the daily press, which was both partisian and officially considered not to be under the influence of the political parties. Among such newspapers were Právo lidu, Svobodné Slovo, Rudé právo, Lidová demokracie, Svobodné noviny, Práce, Zemědělsé noviny, Svobodné československo (Obrana lidu), Mladá fronta and Národní osvobození. In fact, most of these "independent" newspapers were under control of the Communist Party. Resettlement of the Germans was one of the most important issues discussed by the Czech cabinet after the W orld War II. The transfer of the Gennans was obviousl y a genuine wish of the maj ority of the Czech people. However, following the first revolutionary months, a variety of opinions was being expressed on this issue. The Communists wanted to use the resettlement as a political instrument. Naturally, they were in favor of a total transfer of the Germans. On the other hand, other political powers expressed more moderate views, such as the catholic People's Party. The debate was broadly covered by the newspapaers. The media offered greater variety of perspective. There was a strong censorship by the establishment as well as by the journalists themselves, and no one dared to stand against the Košický program...

Bank of Czechoslovak legions in 1919-1938
Brádlerová, Daniela ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor)
Předkládaná disertační práce má za cíl zpracovat pokud možno celistvý obraz, na československém meziválečném peněžním trhu do značné míry ojedinělé, bankovní instituce - Banky československých legií. Těžiště práce spočívá ve sledování důsledků hospodářských aktivit čsl. legií v Rusku, ideových motivů a politicko-vojenských okolností doprovázejících založení banky. Dále pak v analýze struktury banky a rozkrytí jejích obchodně podnikatelských aktivit v období I. republiky. Ojedinělý byl již způsob, načasování a místo vzniku Legiobanky, kdy těžiště jejích počátečních obchodních aktivit leželo na území cizího státu, zmítaného válkou. S tím souvisí otázka z jakých zdrojů pocházel akciový kapitál Legiobanky. Dosavadní poznatky určily za hlavní zdroje vklady Vojenské spořitelny a zadržené služné vojáků, ale problémem zůstávala obvinění vznášená jak v dobovém tisku a publikacích bývalých bělogvardějských generálů, tak v sovětské vědecké literatuře, že Legiobanka vznikla na základě ukradeného ruského zlatého pokladu. Vzhledem k tomu, že Legiobanka během svého působení na Sibiři hrála aktivní roli v nákupu surovin pro československý průmysl (surovinová akce), k čemuž použila vedle vlastních peněžních prostředků (vklady Vojenské spořitelny) také peníze státu (zadržené služné), pokusila se předkládaná práce vyhodnotit...

The nostrification of industrial companies in the Bohemian lands 1918-1929
Čižinský, Jan ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor) ; Šouša, Jiří (referee)
Slovo nostrifikace pochází z latiny. Noster znamená náš a facere je latinský výraz pro sloveso činit, dělat, uskutečňovat. Přeložíme-li tento pojem, dostaneme sousloví s významem "činit naším", "uznat za naše" nebo "přivlastnit si" . S termínem nostrifikace se setkáváme většinou v souvislosti s uznáváním zahraničních studií, vysvědčení a diplomů. Při studiu Rumunska, Polska a hospodářského vývoje Jugoslávie po první Československa, světové válce nacházíme další význam výrazu nostrifikace, který shrnuj e Slovník veřejného práva československého následovně: "Nazýváme tak svéráznou hospodářskou a právní akci, prováděnou v důsledku poli tického odloučení Československé republiky od bývalého Rakousko-Uherska, jejímž účelem bylo převésti do tuzemska sídla a hospodářská vedení společností akciových a s ručením omezeným pokud měly provozovny cele nebo částečně v nynější Československé republice, svá sídla však (a hospodářská vedení) v území bývalé monarchie, jež se dnem 28. X. 1918 stalo pro nás cizinou. ,,

Regional aspects of transformational development of the German federal states
Říha, Ivo ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor) ; Chromý, Pavel (referee)
výsledky, představuje časté téma odborných diskusí, i když převážně v rámci ekonomické obce. Podobně je tomu v případě komparace použitých strategií a privatizačních metod. Pozoruhodné však je, že v české odborné literatuře je poněkud opomíjen příklad transformace východoněmecké ekonomiky, pravděpodobně pro její unikátní podmínky. V rámci transformačního procesu, který se vyznačoval obrovskými náklady, byla pak věnována jen minimální pozornost jeho regionálním (geografickým) aspektům. Monografie zabývající se transformačním procesem z tohoto pohledu se objevují až od poloviny 90. let minulého století (Pohl 2002, Blien, Wolf 2001, Moravcová 2000, Niebuhrová 1999, Eckart 1998, Bosch 1995). Průběh ekonomické transformace nových spolkových zemí Německa a s ní souvisejících dopadů na německé hospodářství je v SRN stále jedno z často diskutovaných témat. V současnosti - ve světle nepříznivé ekonomické situace nejen východní části země, ale i Německa jako celku -již jednoznačně převažuje negativní hodnocení přijaté šokové transformační strategie. Je také zřejmé, že u vědomí těch nejvýznamnějších sociálně ekonomických (i politických) konsekvencí nezdařilé transformace jsou otázky regionálního vývoje vnímány jako druhořadé. Přesto není nezajímavé se jimi, zejména ve srovnání s vývojem v jiných transitivních...
