2	Vznik československé armády a její význam pro samostatnost ČSR / Creation of the Czechoslovak army and its Contribution to the Independence of Czechoslovakia Kawik, Vratislav January 2009 (has links) This diploma thesis is dedicated to the creation of the Czechoslovak army. My goal is to describe its creation, development and significance till the appearance of the Little Entente in 1921. The army organisation took place under urgent needs for defence of state borders. As the Czechoslovak troops in Russia were delayed, commander ranks had to be engaged by the Italian and French officers. Because of many activities led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Edvard Benes on Paris Peace Conference, the power of the Czechoslovakian Ministry of Defence was reduced. After the state borders were established, the role of the Ministry of Defence stabilized.

The topic is an overview compiled since 1945, because of better context.

The author based primarily on archival material stored in the Security Services Archive in Brno - Kanice and the previously published literature. The author also used interviews with former professional officers. These interviews compiled by the method of oral history. The main criteria were chosen on the number of assistant border guards, as well as young border guards and the number of persons who were attempting to cross the state border detained for using the civilian sector. But also, many other factors were considered. The result of this work is the finding that the border guard cooperation with the civilian sector shows an upward trend in the period from the fifties to the late seventies. The highlight of this cooperation was the second half of the seventies. In the sixties, and especially the second half of the sixties, the brigade was forced to intensify the use of civilians...
4	The political transnationalism of immigrant associations in Barcelona Vancea, Mihaela 26 May 2009 (has links) Aquesta tesi vol respondre a dos preguntes fonamentals en l'àrea de recerca de la migració transnacional: s'impliquen els immigrants en el transnacionalisme polític? I, quins són els factors determinants del seu activisme polític transnacional ? Per respondre a la primera qüestió, comparo el nivell d'activisme polític transnacional d'una mostra d'associacions de diferents orígens immigrants a Barcelona. Per contestar a la segona, centro l'atenció en possibles factors determinants a dos nivells, meso i macro. La tesis demostra que l'activisme polític transnacional no està generalitzat entre totes les associacions a Barcelona, que presenta un nivell relativament baix de regularitat, i que generalment es desenvolupa al nivell nacional. També demostra que la necessitat d'examinar l'efecte del context de sortida i, més en concret, l'estructura d'oportunitats polítiques del país d'origen sobre el transnacionalisme polític de les associacions d'immigrants. Altres determinants a nivell meso, com les xarxes socials o les fonts de finançament semblen explicar la variació en l'activisme polític transnacional de les associacions d'immigrants. / This thesis addresses two fundamental questions in the transnational migration research field: whether or not all immigrants engage in political transnationalism? And which are the main determinants of their transnational political activism? To answer the first research question, I specifically compare different degrees of transnational political engagement of various national/ethnic origin immigrant associations in Barcelona. To answer the second research question, I focus on meso- and macro- levels determinants. The thesis demonstrates that transnational political engagement is not generalised among all immigrant associations in Barcelona, presents a relatively low level of regularity, and is generally nationally based. It also demonstrates the importance of studying the effect of the exit context and, in particular, of the political opportunity structure in home country on the political transnationalism of immigrant associations. Meso- level determinants like social networks and sources of funds also seem to explain the variance in immigrant associations' transnational political engagement. social networks political opportunity structure immigrant associations national citizenship political transnationalism migration desarrollo socioeconómico participación política fronteras estatales estructura de oportunidades políticas redes sociales ciudadanía nacional asociaciones de inmigrantes transnacionalismo político migración Barcelona desenvolupament socio-econòmic participació política fronteres estatals xarxes socials estructura d'oportunitats polítiques ciutadania nacional associacions d'inmigrants transnacionalisme polític migració state borders political participation socio-economic development 31 316
