The Arabist and the State: Arabic Language Instruction and the Professionalisation of the Governmental Expertise in the Middle Eastern affairs
Lochovský, Jan ; Malečková, Jitka (advisor) ; Daniel, Jan (referee) ; Kraus, Josef (referee)
The dissertation focuses on a phenomenon of "state-Arabists", i.e., a group of state employees, both civil servants and members of armed forces, who have been systematically directed towards careers requiring proficiency in the Arabic language. The author observes this specific group in the United States, United Kingdom, and Israel between the end of the Second World War and the so-called Arab Spring. The focus of the analysis is twofold. The first is a comparative history of institutions tasked with the Arabic language instruction established directly by the three countries. The second theme are the instructional programmes conducted by these institutions. The author focuses mainly on the ideological factors in their presentation of the Arabic language, the "Otherness" of the Arabic speaking world, and, in most extreme cases, the sentiment of Arabic as a "language of the enemy". Both lines of inquiry are anchored within the context of "critical junctures", thus reflecting the impact of the general history on such a specific instance of exertion of state power as the instruction of a language. The analytical focus on the concurrence of large-scale events of the 20th and early 21st centuries eventually reveals noticeable differences between the civilian and military institutions. The diplomatic...

Syrian Druze community after 2011
Filipiová, Anna ; Jermanová, Tereza (advisor) ; Daniel, Jan (referee)
(in English): This dissertation examines the various ways in which the Syrian Druze community reacted to the popular uprisings and the subsequent civil war in Syria between the years 2011 and 2022, and what these reactions may reveal about the Druze attitute towards to current Syrian regime. Building on literature on sectarianism, idesntity formation, and the religion and history of Druze in Syria, this study also asks what motivated the Druze in their responses. Based on a review of existing literature, a research was conducted across various local and international media and news outlets monitoring the situation in Syria and the Druze behavior in 2011 until 2022. An analysis of the findings reveals that the Druze responded in different ways according to their socio-economic status, pre- existing political alliances, and their cultural and religious principle of collective solidarity - assabiya. Moreover, the research observed Druze participation in and formation of militiary campaigns, both fighting alongside the reme and alongside the opposition. I ultimately argue, that the majority of Druzes' responses was motivated by their deep-seated necessity to protect and preserve the community.

Evolution of relations between Hezbollah, UNIFIL and other international actors since the end of Lebanese civil war
Hurych, Vladimír ; Daniel, Jan (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the evolution of relations between Hezbollah and UNIFIL from the end of the Lebanese civil war. The first chapter deals with the impact of the civil war on the movement Hezbollah and the so-called process of lebanonisation characterized by a transformation from a terrorist to a political movement. After that I cope with the UNIFIL mission, its deployment in Lebanon and its mandate that was redefined in 2006. In the third part, I focus on the first relations between Hezbollah and UNIFIL after the end of the civil war, the change of the leadership, the process of lebanonisation and the presence of the IDF in Lebanon. Fourth chapter aims at describing the relationship after year 2000 and future cooperation of the movement with the mission. The following chapter deals with the alteration of the mission's mandate after 2006 and the impact on the relationship with Hezbollah. On one hand, this was the period when both actors carried out pragmatic cooperation but on the other hand, several occasional incidents took place between Hezbollah and UNIFIL. Therefore I focus on analyzing the events and possibilities of future mutual relationship.

The survival of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan: why didn't Jordan take part in the Arab Spring?
Altwal, Yara ; Záhora, Jakub (advisor) ; Daniel, Jan (referee)
Analyzing the various factors that strengthened the Hashemite regime's stability during the spread of chaos caused by the Arab Spring is deemed important; even though the wave of the Arab Spring has ended, Jordan's economy is still suffering and the public is still demanding reform nonetheless, the Hashemite regime is untouched. This research will analyze the regime-society bond in light of the Arab Uprising that has undoubtedly assisted in the survival of the kingdom by creating a framework by which protesters unconsciously adhered to that entailed calls for political and economic reform to be initiated by the existing regime. Furthermore, the Hashemite's most powerful allies made sure to provide military and financial assistance to ensure the regime and the kingdoms remain secure and stable. However, such aid did not come without a price; it was critical for the Hashemite regime to balance between maintaining its coordinated strategies with its allies to maintain the close relations and maintaining its sovereignty and the foreign policies that serve national interests.

Skladanová, Nikola ; Makariusová, Radana (advisor) ; Daniel, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the study of violent non-state actors with a focus on the case of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in Yemen. The goal of this thesis is an in-depth analysis of the chosen group through the optics of theories of violent non-state actors. The analysis is based on the ARI Framework, created by Ersel Aydinli, which focuses on three main analytical categories - autonomy, representation, and influence. This thesis aims to broaden the existing knowledge and understanding of AQAP in its global, regional, and local contexts, as well as in the context of the ongoing Yemeni civil war. In this way, it contributes to the growing literature on violent non-state actors. This thesis offers a detailed study on the evolution and capacities of the case at hand and embeds these findings into a broader historical context of the development of extremism and jihadism in Yemen. It studies the evolution of al-Qaeda in Yemen since the 1990s, inception of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and tracks its existence until 2018 with the intention to provide a deeper understanding of the group's structure, goals, strategy, and overall functioning.

International Intervention and Local Hybrid Order: UNIFIL in South Lebanon
Daniel, Jan ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bliesemann de Guevara, Berit (referee) ; Bureš, Oldřich (referee)
Bibliographic Record DANIEL, JAN. International Peacekeeping and Hybrid Order: UNIFIL II in South Lebanon. Prague, 2017. 257 p. Doctoral dissertation (Ph.D.) Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of Political Studies. Thesis supervisor: JUDr. PhDr. Tomáš Karásek, Ph.D. Abstract The thesis explores an engagement of a UN peace operation with a local political order. It builds on understanding of peacekeeping as policing of certain vision of international and local order and on that basis, it explores practices and politics of keeping peace. Drawing on the study of UNIFIL II, the UN peacekeeping operation deployed in South Lebanon, the study focuses on practices by which peacekeepers perform their policing duties in the local order, which is marked by entanglements between state and non- state ordering authorities and different practice of stateness. By doing so, it seeks to advance the research on the everyday practices of peacekeeping, as well as the research on local hybridity of peace operations and engagement of liberal actors with the local difference. Drawing on the debates in critical peace studies and works on practice-oriented approaches to research on liberal governmentality, it makes the case for focusing on the peacekeepers' engagement with the 'local' order on the...

Israel's current security challenges in the context of the securitization of the Iranian threat
Skála, Jáchym ; Kalhousová, Irena (advisor) ; Daniel, Jan (referee)
This thesis examines the process of securitization in the relationship between Israel and Iran during Benjamin Netanyahu's second term as Israeli Prime Minister, specifically the period between taking office in 2009 and the conclusion of the nuclear deal with Iran in 2015. The aim of the paper is to analyse the process by which Netanyahu has made Iran such a major security threat that the whole world should be concerned about it. The thesis examines the international dimension of this issue, that is, Netanyahu's speeches that were targeted at an international audience, in some cases especially at an American one, since the United States has been Israel's closest ally since the creation of the State of Israel. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part, which focuses mainly on the theory of securitization, on which the entire work is based, and an empirical part, i.e. the actual analysis of the speeches transcribed into textual form. The greatest emphasis in this analysis is placed on the linguistic devices used, the choice of words and the setting of facts, events or actions in the context chosen by Netanyahu. The analysis of these speeches is intended to reveal the way in which Netanyahu wanted to make Iran a literal existential threat not only to Israel, but ultimately to the whole world,...
