Rationing in Czechoslovakia in the years 1948-1953
Petrák, Aleš ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Chalupecký, Petr (referee)
This thesis is focused on the rationing in Czechoslovakia in the years 1948-1953. The thesis is divided into four main parts which correspond to the basic topics of the thesis. The first part is focused on the previous development. This part concludes that rationing systems in Czechoslovakia were quite similar to each other. The existence of captive market and "free" market at the same time was specific for rationing in the years 1949-53. The second section describes the positive public reception of this specific situation. The reduction of the black market is also mentioned. However this situation was not sustainable for a long time. Significant change of the system was made in 1952. Various proposals were made to unify the two markets. Dolanský's proposal is described as an example. However this proposal wasn't implemented due to the monetary reform in 1953. The existence of a captive market demonstrated problems in distribution. Christmas extra packages and shopping spree in 1950 are the examples of these problems. The last section describes abuse of rationing by the Communist Party for general persecution of specific social groups.

Vaněk, Tomáš ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Jeřábková, Zdenka (referee)
In my thesis I examine the reform of Food Stamp Programme carried out in 1996 through the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. I shall describe the parameters of the reform act and the impacts of the changes on Food Stamp Programme participants. Although the priority of the thesis is to focus on the Food Stamp Programme, I shall also show how the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act impacted several other social programmes in the USA and how these changes might have indirectly influenced the Food Stamp Programme itself. I shall introduce the conditions of the 1990s era in the USA and I shall point out their influence on the overall outcome of the reform. I shall also expound the development of the Food Stamp Programme and its most remarkable past forms and therefore illustrate its progress. The outcome from my thesis should present the reader with a comprehensive analysis of the changes brought to the Food Stamp Programme by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act.
