Státní regulace hornického podnikání v Československu v období 1918 až 1938 s důrazem na těžbu hnědého uhlí

This dissertation examines state regulation of mining in Czechoslovakia during the period 1918–1938, with a specific focus on brown coal mining. The historical context of coal regulation is linked to its classification under the mining regale as early as the Middle Ages, which predetermined its strategic importance for the energy sector and the country's industrialization. The dissertation focuses on implementation of regulatory mechanisms and their impacts on the industrial, social, and economic environment. The work examines key aspects such as the economic and social significance of brown coal, major legislative changes, and the impact of regulation on working conditions and safety. The dissertation combines a historical perspective with an analysis of the impacts of regulation on the management of the Dolové a průmyslové závody, a.s. company. The research confirms that state regulation had a significant influence on the development of mining, which was crucial for understanding its evolution and role in the national economy, and highlights the importance of the historical context of regulation, stemming from the long-term significance of coal for state administration and the economy.
