Poverty in selected developing countries 1996 - 2016 - are the problems being solved?
Peterka, Šimon ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Bartůsková, Lucia (referee)
This master's thesis deals with the topic of poverty in developing countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. The goal of the thesis is to identify the factors of poverty in this region and suggest possible solutions to the problem. The main causes of deprivation in the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa are deemed to be the governance system, war conflicts, dependence on natural resources and an insufficiently diversified economy. All these factors are applied to the example of Nigeria, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Gabon. In order to make aid from more advanced countries more effective, it is proposed to participate more in the resolution of conflicts as a mediator in the negotiation, rather than trying to reform the developing countries politically.
Poverty during Great Society - American victory in a war on their home soil?
Peterka, Šimon ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Fabianková, Klára (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the program of War on Poverty declared by president Lyndon Baines Johnson as part of his vision of the Great Society in the sixties in the United States. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the estabilished programs to fight poverty and evaluate their impact on the poor and nonpoor parts of the American society. Absolute poverty in the United States demostrably fell during Johnson's presidency but relative poverty remained largely unaffected. Absolute poverty indicators could have also been affected by economic growth. Several demographical groups undoubtedly profited from Johnson's programs, though, and many programs remain popular to this day.
