Nation at war. Economic development of Great Britain during the Second World War (1939-1945).
Myšák, Lukáš ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
My bachelor thesis focuses on analysis of Great Britain economy in years 1939-1945. Great Britain with W. Churchill in charge was important world power in this time. In part one, author looks into beginnings of war economy and its implications. The turning point was 1941, when Great Britain is financially exhausted and there was Lend-Lease Act approved in the USA; part two of thesis analyse this law and its impacts on Great Britain. Third and the last part of work, which beside the analysis of the economy concentrates also on the political scene of Great Britain, culminating by analysis of turning general election in 1945, which were surprisingly won by left-wing party.

Bělík, Lukáš ; Soběhart, Radek (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
The thesis "The Case of Horst Wessel as an example of political violence at the end of Weimar Republic" deal with political violence between National Socialist and Communist and presents Nazi Party not only ultra, but also as Volkspartei. Part of my work is devoted to funding problems of NSDAP, which lead wrong debates on the part of support of German Big Bussines. Here are shortly characterised economics and social aspects, which in principle affected the German society. Political violence is here explained on the case of Horst Wessel, which became a murderee of politically motivated crime and on this is clarifield function of Goebbels Propaganda, the creation of myths, songs and films, which should have a principle influence on interpretation of NSDAP as mass Party.

Microworld of guards and prisoners in Theresienstadt.
Dušková, Lucie ; Soběhart, Radek (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
The main task of this thesis is to explore the relationship between the prisoners and the guards at Theresienstadt. Given the complexity of the Therezin ghetto guards hierarchy -- and in order to aim at the very hub of this problematic question -- this paper will focus primarily on the gendarmes, who were in everyday contact with the prisoners. Were conditions of the forced occupants of the given ghetto so dramatic without any exceptions -- or -- was there at least anyone willing to help them? Why were some prisones being ill-treated and brutally murdered while others were being priviledged? The key role in the different living conditions of the "Forced communities" (as H. G. Adler often calls them) played the relationships between gendarmes and the prisoners -- that is why these two "social roles" are the dominant feature of this paper. The Holocaust witnesses evidence stored in the Jewish Museum in Prague and the published origins and the latest sources of literature were used as some of the primary sources.

Kacerovská, Zuzana ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Kovář, Martin (referee)
The purpose of this work is to analyze the development in the 1980's in the Great Britain and to show the importance of changes which happened in that time. It deals with an extraordinary phenomenon -- Thatcherism and its creator and propagator -- Margaret Thatcher. She changed the directions of the economy because she abandoned the policy of consensus which was realized from the end of the Second World War. This work is focused on some of the most interesting implications of her policy - privatization, reducing inflation, trade unions. Her government established new goals which were inspiration for other countries.

Thesis tries to explain political conditions of foreign tourism development, its organizational structure and its importance for CSSR. This thesis also describes basic analysis of the foreign tourism. It looks for answer why and how the state supported traveling abroad and why on the other hand foreign tourism development was controlled by complicated conditions of leave Czechoslovakia for abroad. These conditions were represented by restrictions of issuance of the travel documents, customs regulations and foreign exchange regulations. The restrictions were very different for traveling to socialist countries and the other countries.

Spanish integration to the CEE
Müller, Tomáš ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
My theses scope is description of the Spanish relationship to European Union from the first integration tendencies after the WW II till the preferential agreement ratification in 1970. I will try to analyze part of the Spanish economic history within the context of west-European integration. This period precedes the political transformation of autocratic Spain to modern democracy. These democratic cabinets were able to aspire seriosusly to fully-fledged European Union membership. In my opinion it is not possible to view political transformation as a start-up for democratically elected governments to setup new relationships with EU but it is necessary to understand it as an important condition which is part of a long-term process of Spanish convergence to west-European integration. In my theses I primarily concentrate on the economic development but I mean that it is important to mention the political situation as well.

German hyperinflation after World War I., its development and causes
Růžička, Tomáš ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
This thesis deals with German hyperinflation, which culminated in 1923. Some aspects of prior-war monetary and fiscal policy are mentioned in the introduction. The main subject of this thesis is focused on war economy and after-war period, identification of structural changes in the economy, which happened during this period, and it measures factors, which might directly or indirectly, caused inflations' origins. The goal of this thesis is analysis of impacts of governmental financial politics, analysis of influence of external factors and historical facts. German economy faced these historical facts and they subsequently influenced governmental politics during the whole period from the beginning of war till the end of hyperinflation and monetary reform in 1923. From the general view over the contemporary historical consequences and decisions of German government I am trying to identify direct and indirect causes of inflation and hyperinflation.

Kniha
Pješčaková, Petra ; Soběhart, Radek (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
Kniha ?Černá kniha komunismu: zločiny, teror, represe? je pokusem o zachycení zločinného charakteru komunistického režimu. Kolektiv jedenácti historiků popisuje události uskutečněné ve jménu komunistické ideologie v letech 1917-1991, které zasáhly takřka všechny světové kontinenty. V rámci své bakalářské práce představím hlavní teze autorů této knihy. Nebudu dokazovat jejich historickou pravdivost, ale zaměřím se na jejich společenskou reflexi. Na základě analýzy publicistických článku otištěných v českých periodicích z let 1997-2000 charakterizuji diskuzi, jež v České republice vydáním ?Černé knihy komunismu? vyvstala. Ve spojitosti s touto diskuzí nastíním v závěru stav české společnosti ve vztahu k vyrovnání se s komunistickou minulostí.

Iranian society, policy and economy in years 1980-1988
Tůmová, Lucie ; Tumis, Stanislav (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
This work analyses social, political and mainly economic development of Iran in the 1980s. I will primarily focus on the Shi'ite Islam which controlled all the Iranian society at that time, headed by clerical leader ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. However, the most important event was the Iran-Iraq war which ruined the Iranian economy. This war influenced both Islamic Republic of Iran and The Middle East and its relationship with the West, particularly with the United States. So I will analyze the 1980s in Iran also in connection with foreign relations where the oil and the armament industry played an important role.
