Vávrová, Terezie ; Pešek, Jiří (advisor) ; Kunštát, Miroslav (referee)
The diploma thesis "The German way of putting up with the communist past in view of the Office for study of STASI dossiers" deals with balancing the communist past in Germany, it analyses the Office for study of STASI dossiers' (Gauck office) conception. The question of balancing the past is in German milieu oriented primarily towards the National Socialist era. In case of the Communist past Gauck office arose in 1992. This institution looks after the chancery of communist State security, simultaneously gives information from the dossiers to victims of the former regime. Balancing with totalitarian past is not a single- but a continual process and the Gauck office should reach the point by analyzing of materials it holds. Exceptionality of this institution lies in the fact that it serves as a model for other middle European countries. This project will focus on an analysis of historical preconditions for genesis of this institute. Also, it won't avoid the political debates influencing the final shape of Gauck office, including the future of its incorporating into the National Chancery.

The economic reforms in Czechoslovakia and GDR during the sixties of 20th century
Jeřábek, Martin ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Skřivan, Aleš (referee)
The theme of this thesis is economic reforms in Czechoslovakia and German Democratic Republic (GDR) during the sixties of 20th century. In the first part I focus on the progress of economy in Czechoslovakia. After major problems with planning came the need to implement fundamental reforms of the system. The primary reform steps and also the attitudes of the political leading to implement the steps are interpreted here. I focus on the final phase of reforming process in 1968 and its termination by military intervention in August of 1968 as well. In the following part the complicated relations in post-war East Germany, where the similar economic development to Czechoslovakia took place in the fifties, are interpreted. The pursuit of equalization with West Germany and the regime dissatisfaction of the population compelled the main representatives of GDR to reform the system of leading economics. Despite good results, which the new system brought, it was not able to keep and deepen the system. The aim of the thesis is to answer reasons why the reforms in both countries did not succeed.

Urbařová, Veronika ; Taušer, Josef (advisor) ; Černá, Iveta (referee)
The aim of this work is the determination of the causes why the Eastern German economy is, in comparison with the Western Germany, on the lower level in spite of milliard grants, what are the causes of mass unemployment and whether the contemporary condition follows the resolutions of the year 1990. The first part of my work deals with the negotiations about creation of the united Germany and about consequent results, primarily those of economic, social and financial union. I mention briefly the role of the EG in the whole process. In the second chapter I describe the state of economy of the former DDR and the after-unification measures that where drawn to improve the situation. Then I deal with the phenomenon of ostalgy and with detailed economic development from the 1990s until today. In the final part of this part I introduce the reader with the German way of privatization helped by the Treuhandanstalt privatization agency. In the third chapter I deal individually with the areas where the East is behind the West -- structural insufficiencies, questionable innovative industry, low intensity of establishing of new companies and low inflow of investments, demographic progression, unemployment, salary conditions and indebtedness. In the fourth chapter I compare the New Länder with other problematic regions in Europe and with the countries of CEE. In the fifth chapter the differences among individual Länder are introduced by the macro-economic data. The sixth chapter deals with the questions about transfer payments that flow from the West to the East, and finally the seventh chapter which introduces the perspectives to the future and suggests the alternatives for improvement of contemporary condition and for establishing a new direction.
