Československý stranický systém mezi roky 1918 až 1938 pohledem teorie konfliktních linií
STAREC, Jan
This bachelor thesis focuses on the application of the concept of cleavages to the party system of the First Czechoslovak Republic. The concept of cleavages is a political instrument that allows us to examine the formation and functioning of political parties and party systems. The authorship is attributed to Norwegian political scientist Stein Rokkan, who co-operated with American sociologist Seymour Martin Lipset. Together, they published the book "Party Systems and Voter Alignments: Cross-national Perspectives" in 1967, where they outlined how political parties were formed during the 19th and the early 20th century. The bachelor thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the phenomenon of political parties. The second chapter is devoted to the theory of cleavages, but also to other Rokkan's theoretical concepts. In the third chapter, the author presents the history of political and party systems before and after 1918. The last chapter deals with the application of the theory of cleavages to the party system of the First Czechoslovak Republic.

The activity of the Order of Malta in the Czech lands in the time of the First Republic and its economic aspects
Pola, Martin ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Buben, Milan (referee)
(in English) The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta is the oldest and most important knightly order of the Catholic Church. Its origins are connected with the crusades to the Holy Land and it came to the Bohemian territory in the second half of the 12th century. Until the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire it enjoyed an exceptional position, but after the creation of the so-called first Czechoslovak Republic its position was greatly weakened. The new state, primarily a part of its political elites, was not inclined to the Catholic Church, and for a number of contemporaries represented this traditional and aristocratic order a relic of an old monarchy. The difficult political and social position of the order was accompanied by economic difficulties caused, inter alia, by land reform, which had a significant negative effect on the order's land property. The aim of this diploma thesis is to describe the operation of the order at this time with a focus on its economic activities. Key words Order of Malta, Grand Priory of Bohemia, Economic activity, First Czechoslovak Republic, Land reform
