Consociational theory - Libanon case study
Coufal, Ondřej ; Říchová, Blanka (advisor) ; Gelnarová, Jitka (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with contribution of Consociational theory for Lebanon in 1943 till 1975 and during a follow-up state's reconstruction in 1989 after a civil war. In 1943 Lebanon becomes an independent state for the first time and its political system contained Consociational principles described by Netherland's political scientist Arend Lijphart. Those were present in order to keep the system stable despite wide religious fragmentation which was the Lebanon's case. The possibility of taking part in political decision making had all of the relevant groups. Institutional organization matched the basic Consociational conditions but the society was divided ideologically and socially. Arab nationals appeared among the Muslims whilst the Christians rather advanced the Lebanese nationalism. Problems were also brought together with a bad socioeconomic situation which was mostly a disadvantage for Muslims. Already a situation this difficult was intensified by a long-termed Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian migration in Lebanon going along with it. The aim of this thesis is to find out how the elites dealt with such a difficult situation in 1943 till 1975 then to evaluate the presence of Consociational principles and their contribution.

The midlife crisis in the marriage of Christians
Svoboda, Jan ; Bartůšková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Opatrný, Aleš (referee)
The bachelor's thesis "The midlife crisis in the marriage of Christians" first describes in what lies the mid-life crisis in human life. It takes notice of general causes and differences in experiencing the crisis between men and women. This period is demanding for the relations between the spouses. Couples who live the Christian faith are not immune against crises, however it might be a challenge for them. They also must seek the ways how to come out of the crisis together. They have to fight for their faith and their marriage, which is in the stage of requiring a new qualitative deepening of the relationship. Wider possibilities of assistance are available to the Christian spouses, thanks to their faith. This thesis combines a psychological view of the crisis in the mid-life with the spiritual perspective of Christian spouses who are enduring this crisis, but who can draw strength for such a period from their faith.
