Dušek, Adam ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Fialová, Ludmila (referee)
Demographic development in Cambodia since the second half of the 20th century Abstract This thesis deals with the population development in Cambodia since the second half of the 20th century. The objective of the thesis is to characterize population development in Cambodia during 1950-2020, focusing on the period of the 1970s. A sub-objective is to put demographic development into a historical context. The topic was analyzed through a study of relevant literature and subsequent demographic analysis based on data from the World Population Prospects database, other UN institutions and publications of notable scholars. It has been confirmed that the events that took place in the country during the Khmer Rouge rule from 1975 to 1979 had a significant impact on the population development and direction of the country. Extreme violence and harsh living conditions claimed at least 1.5 million victims. The age-sex structure was fundamentally distorted by the high excess mortality of young men. A period of increased fertility followed, but soon declined. Cambodia's population rose from 4.4 million to 16.7 million during the period under review. However, population growth has been slowing down due to declining fertility and high emigration. Keywords Cambodia, demographic development, Khmer Rouge, excess mortality

Development of bilateral relations: Cambodia and the Czech Republic
Puklová, Anna ; Kofroň, Jan (advisor) ; Ditrych, Ondřej (referee)
The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to describe the development of bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Czech Republic and factors which have an influence on this development. Official cooperation between these two states started in 1956. The development of Czech-Cambodian relationship was heavily influenced by two historical turns - the rule of Khmer Rouge in the 1970s in Cambodia and the fall of Communism in Czechoslovakia in 1989. This thesis deals with development of concrete relationship on descriptive level. The descriptive level is followed by the comparison of the development after two historical turns mentioned previously. The thesis compares events after which the renewal or transformation were necessary, factors which influenced these periods, how the relation was renewed and concrete examples of cooperation. This comparison tells us that the development after the two turns went in almost the same direction, historical turns mainly left marks in the first few years after the event. It is not possible to compare the first steps in cooperation after the role of Khmer Rouge and after the fall of Communism.
