Economic and social consequences of transfer of Germans from Czechoslovakia
Baldrychová, Tereza ; Stellner, František (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
Almost seven hundred years of coexistence of Czechs and Germans in one country had ended by great catastrophe, by occupation and deportation. The idea of transfer of germans from eastern Europe was consequence of one of the deepest civilization crisis and came into existence in the period of general barbarism of the european continent. It needs to be mentioned that without nacism policy and atrocities, without Munich agreement, we can only hardly imagine, such transfer of germans was possible. However there is no sense to constantly compare who was the guilty person, who was responsible for chat happened or whose suffering was greater. In addition to its own problems of displacement, this work deals with the issue of a coexistence of Czechs and Germans as well. To make the reader to understand the broader context the work also introduces the meaning of Beneš Decrees. The main focus of this study is to evaluate the economic and social impacts of transfer of Germans from Czechoslovakia, which contains the second half of this study.

Economic and Political Effects of the American Civil War
Vrzal, Tomáš ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
This diploma thesis aims to show, whether main changes introduced to American economy due to Civil War in 1861 to 1865 had or had not positive effect on post-bellum economic development. were following antebellum development, or whether they go against it. To reach this objective, ante-bellum development of policies, which were changed the most during or after the war, is outlined; main political and social changes are introduced; application of the American system and its effects, mostly of protectionism and national banking system, are presented; and changes in size and role of federal government and effects of war on economy, mainly in the South, are analysed. I draw a conclusion from this evidence, that emancipation did not lead to immediate economic development in South, but rather due to other reasons. Also, I find that neither policy of protective tariffs, nor changes to the banking system had any positive effect on American economic growth in the last third of 19th century, and that their contribution was probably negative. Therefore, it can be stated, that American system, brought by the war, was not the cause of country's economic success.

Mádrová, Olga ; Stellner, František (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this work is the analysis of the economic reforms implemented in reconstruction of the Soviet economy by M. S. Gorbachev since the late 1980s to early 1990s. The first part of the work is engaged in analysis of the underlying assumptions of the Soviet economy, thus its poor condition and negative factors that caused this state. Furthermore, the first part of the work focuses on the analysis of domestic and foreign political scene and the discussion on the need for economic reforms, which took place recently in 1960s. The second part focuses on specific economic reforms, where I am performing detailed analysis of original intentions and of course including justification results. Work answers the question, why did the conversion process ended in failure and why it failed to implement the original three key reforms. The work demonstrates that legalization of entrepreneurship was not understood by most of citizens and byrocrats. Laws were inadequately prepared, included many uncertainties and space for deviation from the original intentions of their creators. These two elements have led to the failure of attempts to improve the performance of the economy and consequently resulted in the fall of the Soviet Union.
