Český Těšín vs. polish Cieszyn 1920-1938, urbanism and architecture
Havránková, Magdaléna ; Pešek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vykoukal, Jiří (referee)
The B.A. thesis "Český Těšín vs. polský Cieszyn 1920-1938, urbanismus a architektura" ("Český Těšín vs. polish Cieszyn 1920-1938, urbanism and architecture") deals with changes of mentioned towns during the interwar period. This B.A. thesis is based on the form of original town Těšín that existed till 1920, when it was separated between two states and when two new towns appeared - Český Těšín and polish Cieszyn. The main part of this thesis represents an analysis of urbanistic and architectural aspects of both of them. Those changes are founded by the agreements that regularized the division of Těšín. Special emphasis is put on the analysis of the house building in Český Těšín that lost the majority of buildings necessary for town structure and town existence. Several questions should be answered in the end of this B.A. thesis. How the both towns changed during the interwar period, if the division of the town Těšín was settled successfully to satisfy both sides and if the town Český Těšín took the advantage of this occasion that offered the possibility to build a modern town in accordance to the interwar principles of urbanism and architecture.

The Initiation of foreign workers employment in the industry corporations of the Northrhine - Westphalia
Janura, Lukáš ; Mlsna, Petr (advisor) ; Pešek, Jiří (referee)
The bachelor thesis The Initiation of foreign workers employment in the industry corporations of the Northrhine - Westphalia deals with the reasons that led to the state-supported employment of Italian workers in the Federal Republic of Germany since 1955. It observes two particular industrial corporations in the Northrhine-Westphalia before this year and compares it with the common statement that the employment was a result of the situation in the German economy. This idea has been doubted in the recent years. The federal country was chosen because of the very low level of unemployment, which makes it an ideal recipient of labour. The thesis should come to the conclusion whether these two corporations conformed to the common concept that the demand for labour was enormous and it was considered to persist in a long term.

Municipal administration and offices in the Middle Elbe region during the Thirty Years' War
Ďurčanský, Marek ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Čornejová, Ivana (referee) ; Pešek, Jiří (referee)
The operation of municipal offices and municipal administration in general was not a too popular topic in Czech historiography. Even this aspect of the life of Czech towns was strongly influenced by the persecution of Czech estates after the battle on the White Mountain and following processes with the gravity centre in the third decade of the 17th century, as well as by the direct and indirect consequences of military actions. Research in such area can also enrich our knowledge of many aspects of contemporary city life and contribute to a better explanation of such consequential phenomena as emigration and recatholicization. The municipal councils and municipal offices can often be named as nervus rerum in these circumstances. To elaborate the problems of military influences on administration in the times of the Thirty Years' War fully is not possible without more detailed studies about the situation of particular municipal offices. This kind of research would enable us to compare several regions. But there is a lack of such studies. The way out can be found by using proper surveys of the situation of several towns. Such probes would outline basic tendencies and phenomena, or the key questions for the subsequent research, such as: a) the extent and structure of the bodies of municipal administration and...

Financial Equalization of German Federal States. A key German Domestic Political Issue of the Turn of the Millennium
Mynaříková, Romana ; Pešek, Jiří (advisor) ; Mlsna, Petr (referee)
The thesis"Financial Equalization of German Federal States-a Key German Domestic Political Issue of the Turn of the Millennium" describes on of the most important elements of the German financial system,which has been in place since 1950s. It has its constitutional justification in the principle that citizens cannot be treated differently by the government simply because they live in different parts of the federation (article 107 of the German Constitution). The fiscal equalization exists in the form of redistribution of tax revenue (individual and corporate income tax and turnover tax) primarily according to the size of the population in each German state (Bundesland). It takes place vertically between the federation and individual states and simultaneously horizontally among states themselves. The "Lnderfinanzausgleich", interstate horizontal fiscal equalization among the Lnder, is certainly the main factor of interregional solidarity in Germany. Without central governments intervention, it organizes the horizontal redistribution of fiscal revenues among the Lnder, including the five new Lnder since 1995. The operating mechanisms are quite complex. Since the amount of money, which the rich states have to pass on to the poorer states, is enormous, the financial equalization became one of the main topics of...

Economic Miracle and Consumer Society in Germany the case study of North Rhineland-Westphalia (magazine Brigitte and VW Beetle)
Kočišová, Katarína ; Pešek, Jiří (advisor) ; Zimmermann, Volker (referee)
Die Konsumgesellschaft in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland entwickelte sich seit der Realisierung der Währungsreform im Jahre 1948 ökonomisch rasch nach vorne und tut dies bis heute. Die deutsche Wirtschaft schaffte es, sich vom Grunde aus schnell zu erholen und zwar vom Mangel an Lebensmitteln und Kleidung bis zur Befriedigung von solchen Bedürfnissen, wie z. B. Urlaub. Auf dem Wege zum materiellen Wohlstand ist es den Deutschen gelungen, einen ökonomisch starken sozialen Staat aufzubauen, welcher seinen Einwohner einen hohen Lebensstandard und nie da gewesene soziale Sicherheiten geboten hat. Das Lebensniveau hat sich im Grunde genommen im Laufe der zwei Dekaden, welche ich in meiner Arbeit aus diesem Blickwinkel beobachtet habe, erhöht und man verbrauchte immer mehr und ebenfalls ständig qualitätshöhere Produkte und Dienstleistungen. Die Wahrnehmung des Begriffes "Lebensstandard" hat sich geändert. Was zu Beginn der fünfziger Jahre als Norm verstanden wurde, galt fünf Jahre später nicht mehr und wurde weitere zehn Jahre später als Armut wahrgenommen. In der Zeitschrift Brigitte, welche ich für meine Arbeit benutzt habe, sind mehr Informationen aufgetaucht, als ich erwartet hatte, was man zu Beginn der Untersuchung als real aus dieser Quelle angenommen werden konnte. Es handelt sich überwiegend um Werbung...

Holubec, Stanislav ; Petrusek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Müller, Karel (referee) ; Pešek, Jiří (referee)
In this thesis, the author deals with the World-system theory by I. W allerstein et al. In the first part, the theries are reconstructed and systematized. The circumstances of the developement of the theories are analyzed and the W oddsystem theory is shown from the perspective ofits structure and dynamics. The autor analyzes the development ofthe World-system at the time ofits existence and interprets the position of the particular regions in it. The World-system perspective is employed to interpret such trends as the rise ofWestem Europe and North America, the downfall and the following rise of Eastem Asia, the stagnation of South America and the downfall of Africa. The author also describes the dynamics and the structure oftoday's world from the World-system theory point ofview. In the second part, the author focuses on the critical interpretation and tries to put the World-system theories in the context of other sociological theories. He also compares the World-system theory with Marxism and the systemic approach. The most frequent critical objections to the World-system theories are systemized. Besides interpreting the past and the presence, the theories aim to predict the future development ofthe human society, which is criticized here. By showing other theories inspired by Wallerstein, the author...

Broadcasting Policy in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia 1939 - 1942 with Particular Emphasis on the Political and Anti-Semitic Broadcasts of Czech Radio
Pinard, Peter Richard ; Kučera, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Pešek, Jiří (referee)
Es gilt fast als Cliché unter Medienforschem, dass die Nationalsozialisten im Rundfunk das modernste Medium zur Vermittlung von Propagandainhalten erkannten, und dass sich ihr Propagandachef, Josef Goebbels, den Rundfunk nach 1933 schnell unter seine Kontrolle brachte, und ihn zu einem der wichtigsten Instrumente seiner Medienarbeit ausbaute. Seine Absicht damit erklärte er auch gleich vom Anfang an: "Die Menschen so lange zu hämmern und zu feilen und zu meißeln, bis sie uns verfallen sind! Das ist eine der Hauptaufgaben des Deutschen Rundfunks."1 Auch beim Anschluss des benachbarten, deutschsprachigen Österreichs bemächtigten sich die Nationalsozialisten schnell des Rundfunks, und meldeten sich - das Ergebnis ihrer inszenierten Volksabstimmung zum Anschluss vorwegnehmend - schon Anfang April aus dem "Reichssender Wien".2Bei der Eroberung der Sudetendeutschen Gebiete der Tschechoslowakei spielte der Rundfunk in Sachen Desinformation und Stimmungsmache auch eine beträchtliche, und womöglich sogar entscheidende Rolle. In diesen drei Phasen ihrer Expansionspolitik hatten es die Nationalsozialisten jedoch mit einem deutschsprachigen Publikum zu tun, das weitgehend - wenn freilich nicht vollkommen - in einem einheitlichen deutschen Nationalstaat unter nationalsozialistischer Führung die Vollendung seiner...
