The Nationalized Beer. Brewing Industry in Central Bohemia 1945-1955
Šperl, Jiří ; Vojtěchovský, Ondřej (advisor) ; Janáč, Jiří (referee)
After the Second world war in Czechoslovakia as well as in most European countries there was a tendency to implement into the economy the principles of nationalization, planning and production rationalization. However, in reality the use of these rules encountered difficulties that had not been expected neither by political nor economic areas. It was not only the issue of the rate and form of interventions into the economy from the communist and non-communist parties but also disputes and fights for pushing through particular interests which were being accompanied by a radical form of expropriation done by the communists after the overthrow in February 1948. The aim of this paper is to analyse the nationalization development in brewing industry which belonged to traditional Czech industrial branches and despite its considerable capital and production concentration it preserved a high level of diversity ranging from mass- production to family facilities. This paper will deal with e.g. mechanisms of occupying of leading positions, nationalization impact and effect of political changes on employees, unions activities, production management strategies (reaching the plans of governmental institutions, socialist competition among companies), by the influence of state programmes, improvement of population...

Physical-spatial and social configuration at neighborhood level, the Raval (Barcelona), an urban evaluation according with the Compact City Model Edwin Javier Azofeifa Valverde ABSTRACT In urban areas, economic development and efforts for improving the quality of citizens' lives, instead of complementing each other and contributing to the advancement of the city, both of them generate and accentuate the processes of physical and social fragmentation in cities. This thesis describes and evaluates the physical-spatial and social configuration in the neighbourhood of Raval in Barcelona, with a particular focus on the role played in that configuration by the immigrant population. The aim is to identify how those processes in which social inequality and a lack of access to certain services and facilities manifest themselves. In order to illustrate this reality and understand the configuration of Raval, population data and information regarding services, facilities, and urban furniture were gathered. The concept of compact urban development (the compact city model) was used in order to interpret the potential weaknesses in the neighbourhood, which hinder its functionality. The main drawbacks are the predominance of population groups occupying certain spaces hindering their potential integration in the...

The EU Crisis and European Identities in the Netherlands: Analysing representations of the EU in the Dutch press in 2005 and 2012
de Jong, Jan ; Janáč, Jiří (advisor) ; Erdösi, Péter (referee) ; Kubišová, Zuzana (referee)
Although the perceived lack of a European identity has always been an issue in the legitimisation of the EU, the economic crisis has intensified the struggles between national and European group identities. The main focus of this thesis the way group identities are represented in the coverage of the EU by two Dutch newspapers, the Telegraaf and NRC Handelsblad, in 2005 and 2012, before and after the start of the crisis. Using Jenkins' (2008) definition of social identity, the way in which different in- and out-groups are represented in the articles is analysed. In line with Lengyel (2014), a more positive and stable representation of the EU was found in the more 'elite' NRC Handelsblad, with a more Eurosceptic and changing attitude in the more 'populist' Telegraaf, creating a divergence between the two newspapers. Also, in accordance with Etzioni (2013), the representation of the EU as a political community in NRC Handelsblad in both years can be seen as a reason for the relative stability of its discourse, with the more utilitarian attitude towards the EU in the Telegraaf explaining the radicalisation of its articles after the economic crisis. Finally, the main conclusion of this thesis is that contrary to Eder's (2012) claim that the economic crisis is a critical point in the development of a...

Region Formation and Transformations of its Roles in Course of the 20th Century: Bohemian-Moravian Highlands
Krajíček, Jan ; Klusáková, Luďa (advisor) ; Janáč, Jiří (referee)
"Region" is nowadays one of the most frequented term in the discourse of the humanities. In the approach of the History, the region is used as a theoretical and methodological concept, whose content has wide range in other social sciences, such as Human Geography and Sociology. This thesis deals with the possibility of the utilization of this term in the historical research applicated on the particular case of the Bohemian- Moravian Highlands. Thesis describes the recent state of the research and the progress in the approach to the term of region. The main concepts which can be used in the case of the Highlands are also shown and described. This particular region was chosen because of its specificity - it's a central periphery, which formed itself into a centralized and institutionalized modern region, the Vysočina Region, during the 20th century. The basic way-out is Anssi Paasi's theory of the shaping of regions. According to it, region can be found in many dimensions in the process of its creation - not just in a physical shape, but also in a symbolic shape, in the making of its identity. Eventually, region has got variable social and economic characteristics. The meaning in which region is percepted and imagined is also changed by these processes of creation - the role of the region is changing...

European Coasts of Bohemia. Negotiating the Danube-Oder-Elbe Canal in a Troubled Twentieth Century
Janáč, Jiří ; Kubiš, Karel (advisor) ; Homburg, Ernst (referee) ; Kaijser, Arne (referee)
European Coasts of Bohemia. Negotiating the Danube-Oder-Elbe Canal in a Troubled Twentieth Century Abstract This thesis looks at the integration processes in Europe from the perspective of a single waterway project, the Danube-Oder-Elbe Canal (DOE). In doing so, it draws on the recent strand of scholarly literature considering the process of European integration as an outcome of transnational networking, system building and infrastructure development. Two core assumptions of such an approach, labeled "hidden integration" claim: (1) that the process of integration (and frag- mentation) of infrastructures on the continent began back in the nineteenth century, and (2) the integration processes were driven by transnational expert organizations rather than diplomats representing nations states and their interests. The DOE Canal project, though never completed, traces the history of ef- forts aimed at establishing an integrated inland navigation network in Europe. These proposals were promoted and performed with very different and often conflicting visions of Europe. The thesis identifies a set of four different integration frameworks used by transnational system builders to justify the need for integration: Mittel-Europeanization (Central Europeanization), Nazification, Sovietization and Europeanization. These...

Niutenko, Olga ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Janáč, Jiří (referee) ; Nucifora, Melania (referee)
This study examines the issues of Transnistrian conflict, Transnistrian identity and Transnistrian statehood through the fields of historiography, economic development, language and educational politics, religion, Soviet ideology and the place of memory in two parts of the Republic of Moldova, Bessarabia and Transnistria. The results of this study reveal the influence of the above-listed spheres on identity in both regions, the significant role of the leadership of Transnistria and the Republic of Moldova in shaping peoples' opinion and strengthening the idea of Transnistrian statehood, and the existence of regional identity in Transnistria during a phase of transition.

Changes of Regional Differentiation of Socioeconomic Development of the USA 1980 - 2007: Case Study Pacific and South-Atlantic Regions
Lukešová, Zuzana ; Janáč, Jiří (referee) ; Jeleček, Leoš (advisor)
Diploma thesis focuses on economic development trends of selected regions and states (California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina) of the USA on various geographical levels in the time period from 1980 until present. The main object is to analyse the spatial distribution of economic production in the United States and its changes in time. Main presumption expects relative declining of dominance of California while the economic power of South-Atlantic region has been increasing. In order to examine changes, I analyse selected economic as well as social indicators and mesures - gross state product, per capita personal income, domestic migration, unemployment and others - on several geographical levels including the newly defined Californian Sunbelt and Eastern Sunbelt. The important section investigates the distribution of per capita personal income on county level in each state and examine the tendency of intrastate regional development. As the present economic development in the most developed countries has been highly influenced by current economic crisis, one chapter is dedicated to this topic. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
