Liberalization of Abortion in Argentina: Implications of the Values Embedded in the Nation's Legislative Power, the Influence of the Catholic Church and the Contrast with the Uruguayan Experience
Quiles Hernández, Alexa Elleny ; Hejzlarová, Eva (advisor) ; Salamon, Janusz (referee)
Legalization of Abortion in Argentina: A Path-Dependency Reading of the Influence of the Catholic Church and the Contrast with the Uruguayan Experience Alexa Elleny Quiles Hernández Abstract Argentina's abortion laws only allow women to access a lawful procedure in cases of rape and health or life threat, and this has been driving women who do not wish to continue a pregnancy into criminal considerations and, in many cases, dangerous and unhygienic environments. The aim of this work is to delineate part of the historical path that has forged the strong relations between the Argentinean State and the Catholic Church since the colonial period and the influence this has had on restrictive abortion rights for women today despite the growing number of demands to legalize voluntary termination. To highlight this influence, this study contrasts the Argentinean experience with that of neighboring Uruguay, a country that successfully legalized abortion in 2012 and which drew an effective division between the Church and the State at an early stage, furnishing a more autonomous environment for the government to respond to citizens' needs. For this, this work takes on Paul Pierson's approach to increasing returns and path- dependency theory and researches and analyzes events, dynamics and factors that have paved...

Zourek, Michal ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Kovář, Martin (referee) ; Chalupa, Jiří (referee)
The doctoral thesis Czechoslovakia and the Southern Cone 1945-1989 analyses political, economic and cultural relations between an important country of the Eastern Bloc and three countries of the southernmost area of South America - Argentina, Chile and Uruguay - during the Cold War. The main objective of the thesis is to interpret unpublished Czech and foreign archives. The first chapter outlines Czechoslovak policy towards Latin America in the period under consideration. The following sections describe the relations between Czechoslovakia and the individual countries of the Southern Cone. These chapters are divided according to the nature of relations into political, economic and cultural contacts. Each of these three parts is further divided into subsections which correspond to important milestones of mutual relations. The thesis ends with an interview with Stanislav Svoboda, a senior diplomat of communist Czechoslovakia. His observations shed new light on the archive documents. Without abandoning the effort of presenting foreign researchers with the value of Czech archives, whose importance is further increased by the limited accessibility of Russian archives, the paper attempts to analyse the issue in the broader context of international politics. In a bipolar world, each of these countries had...

Key themes in the novel "The Truce" of Mario Benedetti
Staňková, Alena ; Poláková, Dora (advisor) ; Housková, Anna (referee)
(in English) This thesis is focused on novel of the Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti called The Truce (La tregua). As a novel, except of the love story of an older office worker and his young colleague, reflects also other motives, it is necessary to analyse appropriately these external influences, by which was the novel affected, to not deprive a reader of those motives. The first part is therefore devoted to the author, his short biography and these aspects influencing the novel The Truce, or more precisely all the artist's work. These external aspects are the biographical, historical and literary context and also an influence of a moral crisis in Uruguay. The second part is devoted to the novel as such, its structure, style and language, then to the title of the novel and its significance. In the remaining part I deal with the psychological development of the main character of the novel, Martín Santomé, in the background of the main plotline, and with selected basic topics of the novel that pervade whole story, which are pessimism, love, time and death.
