Language and etnicity in the Balkans and in Britain
Blažek, Jan ; Uherek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Soukup, Martin (referee) ; Brouček, Stanislav (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of ethnic consciousness in the territories of the Balkans and of Great Britain by focusing on the tendencies towards ethnical inclusion (crossing of ethnical boundaries) and ethnical exclusion (strengthening of the above mentioned). Inspired by B. Anderson's definition of nation (nation = imagined community), the author has chosen the languages of the investigated areas as the actual subject of his research. In three chapters he has studied first the structural and lexicological aspect of the language, then the terminological one (study of ethnonyms) and finally the textual one (study of national myths and the language used to their description). The conclusion of the research described above clearly shows, that whereas English is being perceived as a highly inclusive language (also due to its grammatical straightforwardness and lexicological richness) by speakers of other native languages in Britain (be it the autochthon minorities or migrants), in the Balkans, on the other hand, languages are being perceived as an exclusive propriety of the given ethnic group, which may even lead to artificial differences being introduced in them. The approach prevailing in Great Britain is clearly the one fostering better inter-ethnic cohabitation....

Influence of ethnicity to the interest groups and economy of african countries
Savaryová, Kristýna ; Mládek, Josef (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
This work examines how strong is the influence of etnhnicity on the states funcitioning and to what degrese is etnicity influeced by institution. Etnicity, which is typical especially in African world, can affect almost all spheres of life starting with interest group and ending with ethnic conlfict and genocid. Importand role to the ethnicity influence play institutions. Good institutions setting (I mean institutions like a rules of the game) can mitigate the negative effects of ethnic diversification. Ethnicity can also be politicized and misused like in Rwanda. Good institutions setting and economic policy stay behind the positiv progression of Tanzania, which is widely considered as one of the most ethnically diverse country. On the contrary Kenya recently battle with ethnic problems, which are very dificult to resolve. This work shows how ethnicity in conjuction with institutions can negatively or positively influence states and their economics.
