Great Britain and Europe. Contribution to the analysis of approach of island state to the European Integration process - focused on approach of Winston Churchill.
Blažková, Kristýna ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
This thesis deals with development of approach of Sir Winston Churchill to European integration during the years 1945 to 1955. It tries to capture the change in Churchill's views and attitudes since the Prime Minister was Clement Attlee, until when he returned to this office himself. And both in terms of integration and national affairs. For this reason the work outlines the development of several major integration efforts and organizations, from the Council of Europe to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The thesis also analyzes Churchill's relationship with the United States and the Soviet Union and its efforts to achieve a summit meeting between these two States and Great Britain. Conciliation and agreement with Russia became for Churchill after 1951 a priority and therefore is to this topic devoted a large part in the conclusion of this thesis.

Nationalisation in Great Britain 1945-1951
Erva, Martin ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee) ; Kovář, Martin (advisor)
After the W orld War II, one of the biggest socialistic experiments in the democratic world started in the United Kingdom: nationalization. The Labour Party landslide victory in the general election of 1945 was more than just a change of government. First time in history Labour Party came to power with a majority in the House of Commons. As a result of these processes the Labour ministers launched nationalization programme. However, these processes have deeper roots. Nationalization without protests was possible after many years of changes within the British population. The perception of property rights, freedom and role of astate was different than twenty years ago. We have to go back to a period of the Great War, when Great Britain started with reforms of astate that were inspired by Germany. Functions ofthe state were reorganized along German 1ines. Paradoxically, "German's succes" in the World War was a main reason for it. Furthermore, Labour Party had strongly believed in nationa1ization from the times of KarI Marx. For Labour Party nationalisation had been a necessary condition for a socialistic society. The dangerest attack on the freedom and property rights came from the middle way activists, economists and politicians 1ike J.M. Keynes, W. Beveridge and others.

British expansion to Egypt 1882. Contribution to Great Britain history
Cesar, David ; Skřivan, Aleš (referee) ; Kovář, Martin (advisor)
Když přední britský historik John Seeley v knize "The Expansion oj Englanď' napsal, že "Britské impérium vzniklo z roztržitosti", chtěl tím zdůraznit, že obrovská světová říše nebyla budována podle nějakých pevných plánů, ale vytvářela se převážně nahodile, hlavně díky pověstnému realismu a pragmatismu britských politiků, vycházejících vždy z konkrétní situace a škály možností řešení jednotlivých problémů, které přinášela doba. Oprávněnost tohoto názoru potvrdila i britská politika v tzv. "egyptské otázce" v průběhu druhé poloviny 19. století. Jedná se o údobí ohraničené krachem tzv. "egyptského hospodářského zázraku" na jeho počátku a tzv. "fašodskou krizí", která danou epochu uzavřela smírem obou hlavních konkurentů v této oblasti - Francie a V elká Británie. Liberální i konzervativní vlády, jež v tomto čase řídily britskou říši, se s větším či menším úspěchem snažily řešit vyvstávající konkrétní problémy, aniž si zřetelně uvědomovaly, že tím zahajují další vlnu koloniální expanze, která povede k ovládnutí takřka celého afrického kontinentu evropskými mocnostmi. Průběh a důsledky ovládnutí Egypta Brity a s ním tradičně spojeného Súdánu byl již v dostačující míře analyzován v mnoha odborných studiích evropských, amerických a dalších historiků. Proto se v této práci pokouším alespoň částečně analyzovat...

The immigration to Great Britain in 1945-1971. The contribution to the history of the "island state" in the 20th century
Simonová, Michaela ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
Britain is the country with a long tradition of immigration. Over many years it witnessed the arrival of immigrants and refugees from the whole world. Nevertheless the unprecedented extent of immigration from the Commonwealth countries of the former British Empire after the Second World War was unexpected. It caused profound and irreversible change in the British society as a whole. This thesis deals with a description and interpretation of a series of key issuees related to immigration from New Commonwealth (especially from Indian subcontinent) in 1945-1971. Main reasons for "coloured immigration" were an increasing demand for low skilled and unskilled labour in United Kingdom and the 1948 British Nationality Act, which gave Commonwealth citizens right to enter, work and settle in the British Isles. I am concerned with issues of immigrants' employment, housing, education as well as with the attitudes and responses of indigenous whites. Even though the British consider themselves to be "tolerant people" immigrants faced up to prejudices, discrimination, racism, verbal abuse and physical attacks in Britain. White hostility toward coloured immigrants manifested itself in the form of the Notting Hill Riots in 1958. Racial attacks were explained in terms of the enormous number of "coloured" people and the...

Situation and dilemma of the Pakistani immigration in Great Britain
Krylová, Irma ; Marek, Jan (referee) ; Kropáček, Luboš (advisor)
This thesis is about the current situation and dilemma of Pakistani immigration in Great Britain. It started in the 1950's but it didn't become a relevant political question until the 1980's, because of minorities' growing requirements. Due to the differences in habits, culture and religion from the British lifestyle, it creates anxiety and disatisfaction in the society. This thesis is focused mainly on communuty identity. It considers the changing lifestyle of three generations. For muslims, Islam is everything and it pervades their entire lives. The first part of this thesis is rather theoretical and introduces several different model s of integration and immigration. Great Britain represents a bifurcationist model, in which immigrants are supposed to respect english institutions and culture, but still may follow their tradidtions in their private lives. The second part is focused on education, employment and religious life, which is specific and rich, because it reflects movements and trends coming from Pakistan. Emphasis is given mainly to the requirements specifically related to religion which conflicts with british and western society. In the third part, negative trends are discussed which Pakistani are faced with in their daily existence. This is not only physical violence and islamophobic offences...

State social support and the European Union
VRÁNKOVÁ, Veronika
Help and support to a family is dissimilar in different countries according to the predominant principles in their social policy. The aim of this work is to give a synopsis of the current financial allowances to families in several countries of the European Union and to outline the dissimilarities among them. The partial aim is to point at the inadequate solutions in the state social support system in the Czech Republic and to suggest some more suitable solutions. Diploma work was created by means of the method of the qualitative research with the use of the secondary data analysis. The main body comprises five EU member states chosen by the method of the casual selection, regarding to their family policy system (Great Britain, Sweden, Germany, Spain and Slovakia). Information was acquired from several foreign language sources, largely from web sites of the competent departments, and international sources (MISSOC, EURES). Acquiring actual information wasn't always easy because different sources provided dissimilar information. It has figured out that the most important benefit for families is the child allowance, which is paid out in all studied countries. The criteria for the calculation of its rate are different {--}the age of a child, the sequence of a child in a family, the income of a family (only in the Czech Republic), eventually health disability of a child. The next benefit provided is the parental allowance, which is paid out only in three surveyed countries (Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia), it is paid out in Sweden too, but from parental insurance. The payment of benefits in Germany depends on the monthly income of a family; however, in the Czech Republic and Slovakia a parent, that cares for a child, can support his family without a financial limit, but it is not easy to coordinate work and the care for the family in the Czech Republic, because only small percentage of women has the opportunity to get part-time jobs. In my opinion, we can find the inspiration how to relieve the national budget from costs on payment of parental allowance in Swedish social insurance system, which is financed by contributions from employers, employees and taxes.
