The way to the provisional arrangement in Bonn. The selection process of the capital in FRG (1948-1949)
Filipová, Markéta ; Nigrin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Picka, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis deals with issues concerning national capitals and examines crucial factors for their choice. Usually, the capital is seen not only as an administrative centre, but it also plays a vital role for both the society's development and an individual's identity. The Federal Republic of Germany is specific in the European context. Its center is not historically rooted and was repeatedly moved according to regime changes. This applies also for the considered situation after the World War II. Disputes between the occupation powers resulted in the formation of two individual states with West Berlin being an isolated island surrounded by East Germany. A provincial city of Bonn was chosen to serve as a temporary seat of the West German government, while favored Frankfurt am Main surprisingly failed to qualify. The objective of this case study is to scrutinize whether it was a decision determined by external geographic factors, an internally motivated political plan, or a mere coincidence. The answer is based on a thorough analysis of arguments and motivations of the main players. It tracks the development of the whole process especially focusing on the period 1948-1949 while searching for its milestones. The fact that Bonn was able to provide all the desired prerequisites appears to be crucial. Due...

Rubriciusová, Alžběta ; Picka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Nigrin, Tomáš (referee)
Angela Merkel, the current German chancellor, is one of the most important politicians of today. She has been involved in politics for 23 years and has held the post of the leader of CDU since 2000. Merkel' political start in the early 1990s was fast and had its climax in the CDU donations scandal which shook the foundations of the political party at the turn of the millennium. This bachelor thesis examines to what extent was this period of time crucial for Merkel's future political career and her steps. The donations scandal led to the party's financial crisis and fundamental staff changes. It damaged the party's image. This thesis will also deal with Helmut Kohl and his retirement from politics which was to a large extent provoked by the scandal and Merkel's role in it. This paradox, stemming from the fact that Kohl was Merkel's mentor since she entered politics, will be investigated. Merkel's political style will be analysed on the basis of her conduct in 1999. The role of German media was crucial in regards to the financial scandal and therefore will be analysed as well. The reflection of Czech media from that time will exemplify the importance of the CDU donations scandal for Merkel's career.

Picka, Ondřej ; Nigrin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Handl, Vladimír (referee)
After the Christian democratic CDU party was forced into the opposition after the parliamentary elections of 1969 it created a program commission which should update the party's Berlin Program adopted few months earlier. Surprisingly it drafted a wholly new party manifesto challenging crucial dogmas of party's policies which led to stormy discussions. This thesis argues that this development was a consequence of generation change in the party which was accelerated by the loss of government power as well as a result of the influence of the chairman of the program commission, Helmut Kohl. Kohl was a leading figure of the young rising generation in the party and a strong proponent of party reform. He created conditions in the commission for creation of a progressive proposal by giving influence to talented young reform oriented politicians. But the conservatives in the party were still strong enough to fight back and moderate the reform impetus of the draft. Party committee redrafted it and weakened some central progressive statements. Only the undisputable loss in the elections of 1972 and following election of Helmut Kohl to party chairman made the way free for a thru party reform. Many of the young politicians allied with Kohl during the program discussion in early 1970s became eventually key...
