Education in Transition: Comparison of the Educational System in the Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia in the Early 21st century
Mujanović, Mihad ; Trojan, Václav (advisor) ; Lisnerová, Romana (referee)
The present work compares the educational systems in the Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia in the period of political, econom- ic and social transformation after the fall of the communist regimes in 1990. These states were chosen considering their shared historical experience, similar social and economic conditions and shared vision of the inevitable democrati- zation and European integration (in Serbia after 2000). In a diachronic com- parison, a special emphasis is put on the analysis of the constitutional anchoring of the education, education legislation and government and ministerial strategic documents. In this respect, all four countries are nearly identical; the constitu- tions mention education only marginally, but the relevant laws are very volumi- nous and they are changing as often as elected political representatives. At first, long-term development plans blindly followed European reform trends, then these plans were more focused on specific measures under local conditions. In a synchronous comparison the special attention is paid to the current parame- ters of the educational systems and basic educational statistics at various levels of education from pre-primary to tertiary education. There were no apparent significant deviations, although individual countries...

Muslims, not Muhammadans! The Roots of the Bosniak National Movement in 1878-1918
Mujanović, Mihad ; Pelikán, Jan (advisor) ; Agičić, Damir (referee) ; Chrobák, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis explores the transformations of the Muslim community (current Bosniaks) of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Austro-Hungarian occupation between 1878 and 1918. It examines the political, social and demographic changes in Muslim society - including the development of community life and religious, cultural and educational institutions - in the context of the formation of modern Central and South East European nations. Habsburg rule in the northernmost Ottoman province, in hindsight, stood at the beginning of a long, insecure and ambiguous but ultimately successful process of national self-awareness of the Slavic Muslim community of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Sanjak. The various chapters of this thesis broadly follow the standard framework of analysis of national movements in Europe. This work is theoretically grounded in the modernist paradigm connecting the national idea to changes in social, economic and political circumstances, the onset of modernity, based on both constructivist and instrumentalist theories. The thesis is largely relied on secondary sources when discussing these subjects as well as newspaper articles, memoirs, biographical essays, declarations and political proclamations. Keywords Muslims; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bosniaks; National Movement; 1878-1918

And the earth was shaking: the reflections of the earthquakes in Skopje (1963) and Banja Luka (1969)
Mujanović, Mihad ; Pelikán, Jan (referee)
AbstractAbstractAbstractAbstract The aim of this work is to capture the key events after the devastating earthquakes in Skopje in 1963 and Banja Luka in 1969. A special emphasis is put on the reaction of the federal authorities, foreign responses and demographic changes in the affected areas. These aspects of the research are part of the broader perspective on the history of Yugoslavia in the 1960s. Both natural disasters also serve as the object of comparison that can prove changes in the attitudes of the Yugoslav administration and the public within a few years.
