    Mit der ungarischen Nation in Mitteleuropa
    (Západočeská univerzita v Plzni, 2013) Garaczi, Imre; Novotný, Lukáš; Clemens, Gabriele
    The term ‘Central Europe’ can be nowadays reflected on as part of Europe. Rethinking the concept of nation is realistic and important for the ten countries who joined the EU in 2004 from two perspectives: on the one hand in the relation to the pace and quality of catching up with the Western part of Europe, on the other hand in the context of the European participation in the process of globalization. Namely, only the Europe of nations can be a guarantee against the negative effects of Americanisation, therefore it is necessary that in the period of catching up the representation of cultural heritage should also be a decisive factor beside economic processes. Only a Europe with a human face and based on the principle of community is able to play the role of a balance in the current world political processes, which also requires the re-evaluation of the structure and role of the current European Union. In my paper I am examining the social, cultural and political processes taking place in East- Central Europe in the last two hundred years from the above point of view.

    Interwar Segregation Policy in the Union of South Africa: Paving the Road to Apartheid
    (Západočeská univerzita v Plzni, 2013) Bulvasová, Alena; Novotný, Lukáš; Clemens, Gabriele
    This paper reflects a political scene of the Union of South Africa during the interwar era. During this time the Union had to solve two capital problems. Firstly it was the issue of coexistence of Afrikaner and English-speaking population. Secondly the government had to deal with the matter of native affairs. Time showed which one of these questions was more important for the government to be answered in the first place. There were two politicians who stood out from others with their rhetoric and political opinions: James Hertzog and Jan Smuts. Their decisions were crucial for the Union’s interwar policy.

    The Events Connected With the Presence of the American Army in Western Bohemia in 1945
    (Západočeská univerzita v Plzni, 2013) Kodetová, Petra; Novotný, Lukáš; Clemens, Gabriele
    The fact that Pilsen was liberated by the American army affected the lives of the inhabitants of the West Bohemia considerably. The relations of the Czechoslovak civilian population with the U.S. soldiers were generally good. Both nationalities organized various cultural events and participated on the restoration of the war-damaged city. This progress is depicted on the pages of contemporary Czechoslovak and American press, which informed about the important events of the stay of the American army in Pilsen. The other topics of the article are especially the question of the Škoda Works, which was visited several times by the Allied authorities, and the stance of American military leadership toward Pilsen and Czechoslovakia.

    The Bosnian Crisis on the Pages of the Czech Press
    (Západočeská univerzita v Plzni, 2013) Kokaislová, Lucie; Novotný, Lukáš; Clemens, Gabriele
    The Bosnian Annexation Crisis was a major diplomatic event of the years 1908 and 1909. The decision of Austria-Hungary to annect the occupied provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina changed a status quo in the Eastern Question. While the crisis threatened the peace in Europe, the press and the European public opinion considerably followed it. The Czech lands were no exeptions – on the contrary the main periodicals brought regular news about the development in this question. They also commented the policy of Vienna government and of the other Great Powers and the Balkan states.

    Racial Hybridity and Challenge of Modernity in Post- Colonial Mexico
    (Západočeská univerzita v Plzni, 2013) Budil, Ivo; Novotný, Lukáš; Clemens, Gabriele
    The emergence of the modern racial ideology should be studied in the context of the concrete political events and transformation of the global world-system at the dawn of the modern era. Racial discourse presented somatic metaphor of asymmetrical distribution of political, economic and symbolic power in hierarchy of the world-system. Therefore, the development of the postcolonial Mexican society and the war between the United States of America and Mexico were interpreted and conceptualized by contemporary authors by terminology and logic of racial imagination involving the picture of the racial rise of Anglo-Saxons and the decline of mestizos and creoles.
