Tylová, Kateřina ; Šístek, František (advisor) ; Žíla, Ondřej (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the specific development of post-war Yugoslavia, especially about self-governing socialism which can be considered as finding the new way of socialism. This issue is closely related with historical context of post-war development. Thanks to the conflict with Soviet Union the need of settling new political system could be the way of better fitting socialism. The status of Yugoslavia was considerably more complicating due to exclusion of the Soviet sphere, however, it was a new opportunity. The aim of the thesis is to clarify how the self-governing system worked and why it was introduced. For a comprehensive view of self-government, different views on this system have been added. The first chapter deals with the historical context in Yugoslavia and the theory of the self-governing system. The second chapter deals with different views of self-governing socialism. This chapter is subdivided into other subchapters, divided by time - between the regime's theorists and historians (experts who evaluate the system with time and with the fact that it is not directly incorporated into it). The chapter with the view of historians is further divided into period historians (written in the time of the functioning of the self-governing system) and contemporary (opinions that are...

The author valorizes also his practical experiences of a left-oriented politician and first results from sociological research has set an objective to check two hypotheses: 1) that in the conditions of global capitalism development to save and fully revitalize the social state in his conception of a factor that is not only mitigating urgent social inequalities, but also raise the society and cultivates the human being, 2) that in the process of capitalist crises and the crises of a social state, senior citizens living from their pensions belong to the most threatened social groups. Methodologically the author claims to belong to modern Marxism and critically demarcate himself both from stalinism as well as from the recent official ideology, above all neoliberalism. The author refuses also the attempts to equate Marxism and the policy of KSČM to the ideology of the past governing class of controlling apparatus and comprehend the KSČM as a party disguised as Stalinist, anti human and non-democratic and in agreement with the program of this party that it represent in the Parliament of Czech Republic belongs to the self- managed socialism as a long-term objective of a societal transformation.

Yugoslav Experiment as an Inspiration for Reform Process in Czechoslovakia
Uxa, Šimon ; Tejchman, Miroslav (advisor) ; Šístek, František (referee)
The paper Utilisation of the Yugoslav experiment as an inspiration for the Czechoslovak reforms in the period of the Prague Spring deals with a comparison between the fundamental elements of the Yugoslav self-management model, which started to develop in the Balkan country from the end of the 1940s, and the prevailing visions and targets of the Czechoslovak reform process of the second half of the 1960s. The economic system of the Tito Yugoslavia represented, in fact, the only alternative to the directive Soviet model which was copied from the Soviet Union by other countries of the East Block. It is mainly for this reason why it is highly possible that the Czechoslovak experts looked for an inspiration in the already working Yugoslav system whose strong and weak points could already be seen in practice. For the purpose of this comparison, we have chosen five main backbones of both economic systems, as follows: planning, position of enterprises,price system, foreign trade and private enterprise. The selection of the phenomena is conditioned by their existence itself, and mainly by their significant importance for both the Yugoslav experiment and the reforms of the Prague Spring. Keywords: Yugoslavia, self-governing socialism, Czechoslovakia, reform process, 1960s, planning, price systém, position of...
