The course focuses on the period of the so-called long 19th century, i.e. in the context of the Czech lands as part of the Habsburg monarchy from the era of Josephism or Enlightenment absolutism, through the period of the revolutionary years 1848-49 to the events of the First World War, together with the preconditions for the establishment of and independent Czechoslovak state in 1918. This is the stage of our history in which the foundations of modern society were laid, which is reflected not only in the expansion and strengthening of modern forms of state poqer with a functioning bureaucratic and financial system, but also in changes in the organisation of production, banking and social and economic theores. Wtih regard to the specific development of Centra Europe, special attention will be paid to the question of nationalism, or the tranfsormation of czech-German relations in our countries and the Habsburg monarchy as a whole. Relations with other Slavic nations and the beginnings of Czech-French contact will also be discussed. A characteristic problem of democratic rights and the political emancipation of all social classes, therefore, increased emphasis will be placed on the issue of creating a civil society with all aspects of this process (secularizaiton, urbanization, medicalization, bureaucratization, etc.). The overall framework of this course is a reflection on the process of modernization of society and the application of thic process in the environment of the Czech countries of the period under study.

The student will demonstrate knowledge of borader temporal and spatial contexts with analysis of previous and assumptions of future developments.

The student will gain an overview of the historigraphy of the period under study, focusing on the most recent scientific results in comparison with the ongoing development of solutions to the relevant problems.
