There are described position and development of the Czechoslovak economy and its problematic foreign policy orientation between the West and the Soviet Union, in which the provision and acceptance of foreign aid has become a key element. The author tries to define the most outstanding journalistic personalities, journals and historical newspaper which created the media image of what was happening on the Czechoslovak political scene to the general public. The main finding of this study is the presentation of the historical contemporary press which played an important role in the communist propaganda that since the end of the war helped the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia to the takeover in 1948.

About the development of the Czechoslovakian sugar industry in the European context of the interwar period
Drábek, Jakub ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Chalupecký, Petr (referee)
The object of this work is to analyze the sugar industry in the interwar period in European, and in addition, global context. The work focuses on international conventions, their national applications and the reaction of other countries in the sugar industry. It is divided into two thematic units. The first one deals with the characterization of the foreign trade of Czechoslovakia, the second addresses the particular issue of the sugar industry. The work puts great emphasis on the perception of the sugar industry in its broadest context possible. For this reason it analyzes the issue of the sugar industry also in periods of time, which are seemingly unrelated to the work, but are necessary for understanding the problematic. Further, it focuses on the interdependence of individual structures of the sugar industry institutions and their reaction to the development in the evaluated time period. The overall analysis style aims at gradually more specific problems. Conclusions of the work are supported by a great number of opinions, both those of the author and specialists of that time, but also quantitative data. The main goal of this work is to verify the hypothesis that the crises were caused by a shift away from the free market. Throughout the course of the analysis the assumption is verified in case of almost all considered crises. It also shows that no administrative measures can be effective due to the market. The connection between the government and the sugar industry was evident, and thanks to this interdependence the sugar industry enforced many laws.

Rod, Jaroslav ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Skřivan, Aleš (referee)
The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to analyse the process of socialistic industrialization in Czechoslovakia between 1945 and 1953. Czechoslovakia, which had already undergone its industrialization phases in the 19th century, was to go through a similar process once again. The thesis tries to examine the industrialization process itself as well as reveal the motivation that made the contemporary government and political leaders adopt such a procedure again. Attention is paid to industrial sectors involved and methods used in the process. The thesis offers various cases that document exploiting the machinery of the enterprises in border areas that had been abandoned after the post-war expulsion of Germans. Moreover, further efforts to minimise the costs of the process are also explained. The first chapter is particularly focused on events that helped the Communist Party come to power and proceed with socialist industrialization.
