Ryšánek, Martin ; Just, Petr (advisor) ; Polinec, Martin (referee)
The bachelor thesis presents establishment of municipalities and municipal elections including their results from 1919 in Czechoslovakia which were held only in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Both elections and establishment of municipalities are described in relation to the previous historical and administrative development, therefore the first part of the thesis analyzes the establishment of municipalities and development of the municipal suffrage in the Habsburg monarchy. The introductory historical excursion is be followed by the year 1919. The new Czechoslovak government had two options, either to take over Austrian administration, or build up their own. The first option mentioned was chosen. Thus the establishment of municipalities was amended and the new elections act was enacted. The background of political bargaining concerning those two acts is described.

The first land reform 1919
Korolus, Václav ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
The interwar Czechoslovak agrarian reform was put in motion to improve national agriculture production by way of the redistribution of the estates. The second goal was to eliminate the unwanted influence of the foreign (German and Hungarian) landlords. This huge project was held from 1919 untill it was officialy ended in 1935, but the idea of the land reform was significant in Czechoslovakia for a much longer period (mostly after World War II. and during the restitution processes). The interwar landreform changed more than 29% of Czechoslovakia (more than 4 million hectares were confiscated). Approximately one half of this amount was assigned to the alienees, the second half remained in the hands of the former owners. Both of the main goals were accomplished by this huge transfer of property. The smallest homesteads were extended using the land from the largest estates and became more effective. The properties of the landlords were decreased in size by one half and their influence on the national economy was reduced. Despite some imperfections in the reform laws and how they were carried out, the main targets were accomplished and I assume this project was successful. Better outcomes could be reached only with different conditions, like a longer period of time. In a comparison of other similar reforms, the Czechoslovak land reform was the third largest (after Russian and Romanian).
