Minority Rights and Possibilities of Identification of the Hungarian Minority in Czechoslovakia on Žitný ostrov in 1969-1989
Ročkár, Matej ; Juhászová, Tereza (advisor) ; Klípa, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis deals with the minority rights of the Hungarian minority in Czechoslovakia in the period 1969 - 1989. The thesis focuses on the impact of the state's minority policy on the everyday life of Hungarians on Žitný ostrov, which is one of the regions with the strongest proportion of Hungarians of all regions in Slovakia. The period between 1969 and 1989 was marked not only by the normalisation processes following the invasion of the Warsaw Pact troops but also by the federalisation of Czechoslovakia. Thanks to this, some of the competencies that had an impact on the daily life of national minorities were transferred to the level of Slovakia as one of the state-forming units. This thesis aims to find out how members of the Hungarian minority experienced the period of normalisation. To answer this question, research was conducted in the form of personal interviews with witnesses. Their memories and experiences of the period under study are confronted in the thesis with the minority legislation in force at the time. The main part of the thesis is devoted to the possibility of identification of the Hungarian minority. First of all, it focuses on the possibility of using the mother tongue in the public space, education, access to media, information and culture in the Hungarian language....

Romany pupils' integration in the Czech system of education
SÁDOVSKÁ, Michaela
The bachelor thesis is focused on the integration of Roma pupils into the Czech education system and the issues stemming from it. The theoretical section briefly examines the history of the Romani people and the relations of the Roma minority in European countries. Special attention is given to the integration of this minority group in Czechoslovakia and subsequently in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the thesis explores the upbringing and education of Romani pupils as well as the barriers associated with these topics. The practical section is focused on the personal experiences of Romani citizens with the Czech education system and experiences of teachers with Romani pupils. The research design utilises semi-structured interviews to uncover the issues and barriers connected to the integration of Romani pupils. The most frequently mentioned problem is the bullying of Romani pupils by students or teachers, along with exclusion from class or teaching, and the consequent problems that arise from such situations that reflect in their behaviour.

National minorities on the labor market in Pilsen region.
ZÁHORČÁKOVÁ, Tereza
At present, the issue of national minorities living in the Czech Republic is often discussed. However, it is perceived rather in a negative context, in the context of the unequal position of minorities in the majority society. The key problems of national minorities in our country include: recognition of education obtained abroad, language barrier, low qualification. Furthermore, prejudices and mistrust of employers, discrimination resulting from ignorance of foreigners, complexity of valid labour law legislation, obstacles to finding a job in the Czech Republic resulting from residence status, illegal employment and the issue of not always appropriately chosen support for integration of foreigners and minorities into society. The goal of the bachelor's thesis will be to find out whether citizens of national minorities in the Pilsen region feel unequal in the Czech labour market and to find out information about working conditions to which national minorities are exposed in our country. Quantitative research will be used, using the method of questionnaire survey, supplemented by a semi-structured interview. The sample is clients of the Labour office Pilsen, clients of employment agencies, officials from the Labour office Pilsen and employees of employment agencies. The results of the bachelor's thesis can be used for employees of Labour offices, employment agencies, employers of various companies, but also for those who come to the Czech Republic to work and want to better understand the Czech labour market and know the potential risks and dangers they may encounter. The bachelor thesis should further focus on the fight against racism, the protection of human rights, the creation of tolerance towards minorities and building of a multicultural society.

This work then provides a definition of ethnicity and other important concepts established by the Norwegian anthropologist T.H. Eriksen. Following terminology, the approach to ethnicity in the Soviet Union and East Germany is described and the most important aspects of Soviet nationality policy, with an emphasis on "korenization" (nativization), which was an important part of Leninist nationality policy. Similarly, the thesis deals with nationality policy in the GDR and examines the application of Leninist nationality policy in the work of the umbrella organization Domowina and in bilingual education in Lausitz. The last chapter mentions collectivisation and industrialisation, which significantly affected the situation of Lusatian Sorbs, but do not fall within the main...

Mašková, Jana ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Ochrana, František (referee)
This diploma thesis examines the public political process for the implementation of local bilingual names while focusing on the enforcement of this law for citizens with Polish nationality in the Těšin Region. The main objective is to explain why this policy was or was not changed, what the reasons were for the non-conformity of the policy objectives with the results and to discover the actual failures in the implementation process, where as a consequence, in some villages the right of the minority to use local bilingual names was not fulfilled or was beset with problems in some villages. The subject of the investigation of both the legal and the institutional aspect of the problem focuses on the participating subjects, where one of the main roles of the committee for national minorities on the board of the municipal representatives was the requirement to implement local bilingual names. The guidelines for understanding the tools, procedures and relations used were the initial theoretical points related to the institutions and their changes, the implementation process (top-down and bottom-up approaches), initial theoretical points explaining the responsibilities of the participating subjects and not the intended consequences of their actions and those of others. The research design is a case study.
