A Contribution to the Propaganda of the British Empire in Film in 1918-1939
Veselý, Jiří ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Valkoun, Jaroslav (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to analyse propaganda of the British Empire in the film between the years 1918 - 1939. The British Empire was weakened after World War I., but still became an expanding area and had decisive role in the world politics. The power and the authority of the Empire were often presenting on exhibitions, in the theatre, on paintings, posters, in schoolbooks, in literature for children, on radio or in the much developing film industry. People of all ages were attracted by films and cinemas could affect people either with propaganda's film or with adventure films. In my thesis I look closely on the age of New Imperialism in Great Britain and consider why it was the film industry where values typical of 19th century such as militarism, patriotism or Social Darwinism remained even after the World War I. Further I focus on how British cinematography dealt with the rising Hollywood production and explore the influence of government support (Cinematographic Film Bill, film department of Empire Marketing Board, film production of General Post Office) on British film production. The aim of the thesis is examining the theme of British propaganda in the film in the Czech surroundings. Next aim is explaining reasons which head towards to propagate the values of the British Empire in...

Great Britain between 1918-1945. Paper on british economic and regional policy.
Smetana, Martin ; Toth, Petr (advisor) ; Kouřilová, Jana (referee)
Master's thesis focuses on the British economy in the first half of the 20th century and examines the most important components of the economic and regional policy in this period. The aim of the work is to discover the main impact of the first and second world war on the economy of Great Britain while emphasizing the role of the arising regional policy in this period. An evaluation of the most important macroeconomical indicators is performed to fulfil the aim of the work. Results of this paper show that the First World War led to the decline of traditional industries. This was supported in the inter-war years by the decrease of demand, high real wages and overvaluation of the pound while returning to the gold standard. Because the employment was mainly concentrated in the declining industries, which were regionally located, regional disparities in the country increased. The high unemployment in these regions led to the beginnings of state controlled regional policy. However significant decrease of the unemployment was only achieved with the mobilisation of the economy during the Second World War and the impact of new growing industries in the fifties.

Pařík, Adam ; Fabianková, Klára (advisor) ; Chalupecký, Petr (referee)
This work is focused on the currency reform in the year of 1919. The theoretical part presents opinions and concepts of Alois Rasin and Karel Englis in the field of currency politics. Starting from the introduction of the default economic and social situation before the establishment of the self-governing Czechoslovak state, the text aims on an analysis of grounds, a course of development and impacts of the currency reform. Next part investigates the influence of currency measurements on the realtime economics of the country. The essential point of the research is following: Has the deflation policy of A. Rasin fullfilled one of its main targets, i.e. to strengthen the exchange rate of the Czechoslovak Crown? Detailed empirical testing has been performed on this initial hypothesis, resulting in positive verification of this statement. Thanks to the artificial stimulation caused by deflation policy leading to increased currency value, external competitiveness of the Czechoslovak Crown really grew up, though at the significant costs of domestic economy suppression. As the conclusion, the description of particular impacts of A. Rasín's and K. Englis's currency policy applied on real economic processes is provided.

Mikovcová, Alena
An integral part of agrarian party were its students unions (Praha, Brno, Bratislava). In 1938 they were suspended. The ideology, policy and power structure of the agrarian party were reflected in the trends of student agrarian community. In 1925 a generation staying in The Švehla studentŽs residence in Prague played the significant role in it. In the 1930Žs some of them functioned as the brain trust of the party. In 1936 the agrarians deserted the middle position of the student political spectrum and moved to the right one. Folowing the Munich agreement the agrarian clubs took part in the regimentation of the student movement.
