The possibilities for the development of the various organisations and their activities are also described. The work also focuses on two areas of the life of a person with disabilities - education and employment. The findings presented are set in the historical context of each country.

Foreign tourism: a phenomenon of opening the Francoist regime
Patočka, Miroslav ; Tomalová, Eliška (advisor) ; Bauer, Paul (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with foreign tourism as a significant phenomenon of the Francoist regime. Despite its changing role throughout the regime, particularly manifested by a change of its propagandistic utilization in the early years towards the public diplomacy, tourism can be considered the most important instrument of soft power. It has been crucial not only for the economic development, but especially for the opening of Francoist Spain. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of tourism as such, this case study deals with a wide range of internal and international areas of economic, political and socio-cultural character, which had to be directly addressed by the tourism policies. The aim of this thesis is to study the impacts of foreign tourism and its state cultivation on the changes of the international status of Spain during the Francoist era. Its main focus will therefore be analysis of the development of tourism policies, linked to the concepts of visual promotion and structure of foreign tourists during this period. The study therefore concludes that the successful and extensive cultivation of foreign tourism, unique to the Franco regime, had significant impacts on legitimacy of the dictatorship in an international context. Foreign tourism has thus extensively contributed to the...

Politics of National Reconciliation within Anti-Francoist Opposition until the Transition to Democracy
Hloch, David ; Mejstřík, Martin (advisor) ; Urban, Traian (referee)
The bachelor thesis presented here deals with the developments and circumstances accompanying the phenomenon of the national reconciliation policy in Spain between the years 1955 through 1975. It aims to answer a question to what a degree these conciliatory endeavours proved to be successful, i. e. what their actual outcomes were, but it also deals with the impacts of these endeavours upon the Spanish society after the dictatorship's fall. The thesis is conceived as a case study whose contents are represented by the theoretic delimitation of the notions related to the issue of a divided society and its reconciliation, the introduction of the key players active in the reconciliation process, and, last but not least, the tracking of the development itself of the process, using the example of the behaviours displayed by the Communist Party and the Catholic Church. The thesis demonstrates that these conciliatory endeavours actually were successful, whereas their impact upon the subsequent development of the Spanish society was indeed substantial, as it resulted directly in the adoption of the oblivion pact policy. Even this finding can be perceived as being somewhat questionable though, since the crimes and the victims of the war and dictatorship period have failed to be acknowledged just because of it.

Spanish sport in era of francoism and its political exploitation
Balík, Jiří ; Urban, Traian (advisor) ; Matějka, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis "Spanish sport in era of francoism and its political exploitation" deals with the use of sport in different policy sectors of Franco's regime. It examines how much sport reflected official state policy. The first part focuses on internal sport organization, which shows the domination over the entire sport sector. The second part of the thesis deals with the reflection of francoist internal policy in sports. Thus it analyses physical education as a tool for political indoctrination and top-level sport as a device to maintain social political passivity. Further, it analyses the centralist policy of the regime represented by the support of selected sport clubs and orientation of sport events to the capital city - Madrid. The third and final part defines use of sport in foreign policy. The thesis as a whole concludes that the projection of regime policy in sport is completely natural and that the regime didn't depart of its overall policy while using sport.
