Emergency Powers as a part of presidential powers
Antonínová, Aneta ; Kotábová, Věra (advisor) ; Hudec, Jiří (referee)
The President of the United States has numerous powers. Many of them are explicitly granted by the Constitution or delegated by the Congress, however as the presidential office developed over the time, many of the presidents started to adopt inherent powers. Their legitimacy comes from president's position as the head of the executive branch. The subject of this thesis, emergency powers, is one counted as one of the inherent powers. The goal of this thesis is to analyze the use of emergency powers by presidents and to inspect their controversial aspects that come from their problematic nature and uncertain position within the American political system, especially in relation to other branches of the government, notably the Congress and the Supreme Court.

The Perception of Women in Terrorist Organizations: A Comparative Study of the Islamic state and Al Qaeda
Antonínová, Aneta ; Ditrych, Ondřej (advisor) ; Záhora, Jakub (referee)
The thesis aims to analyze the role of women in the Islamic State and Al Qaeda and determine which factors can account for the differences in their perception of women. Although the phenomenon of terrorism has been the focus of many researchers in the field of international relations, the amount of attention paid to women as perpetrators of terrorist violence is significantly smaller. Both of the studied terrorist organizations follow the radical interpretation of Islam which results in many shared views concerning female roles in society in general and in jihad in particular. However, it is possible to find differences in their opinions of women, especially in relation to a more active involvement in the groups' combat and martyrdom operations. In regards to methodology, comparative case study was chosen as the best possible method to explain these differences. The results of the analysis show that it is the worsening security context and increasing threats to the group's survival that are able to account for the acceptance of female combatants in the case of the Islamic State. On the other hand, Al Qaeda's relatively strong position does not create similar pressure for the group to change its position regarding women. Keywords Terrorism, Role of Women, Islamic State, Al Qaeda
