Germany as a civilian power after its engagement in Operation Enduring Freedom
Ristemiová, Linda ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bahenský, Vojtěch (referee)
The main subject of this thesis is the status of Germany as a civilian power after its engagement in the war against terrorism, most importantly its engagement in the Operation Enduring Freedom. It is based on the theory of civilian power, mainly on the publications of Hanns Maull and other authors, that worked with this theory later. The following empirical analysis describes particular engagement of Germany in Operation Enduring Freedom. Thesis further discusses political discourse, the discussion in the media and process of the approval of German mandate in the operation. The thesis also mentions German engagement in ISAF, as these two operations were happening simultaneously and it can help the reader understand the difference between them, as well as the controversy of Enduring Freedom, which is the main subject of this thesis. Historical context of Germany as a civilian power and its shift from civilian politics in the 90s helps to establish final arguments. As per theoretical and empirical analysis I point out, that Germany definitely shifted itself from civilian politics, however not entirely. I also take into account the fact that international position of Germany changed rapidly compared to previous century. Therefore the shift from civilian politics is natural development.
Relevance of norms in cyberspace
Crha, Miroslav ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I consider security in cyberspace and attempt to establish, whether theoretical approaches to the technological domain of nuclear weapons can merit the analysis of cyberspace. More specifically, I focus on the constructivist perspective and the theoretical framework of norm evolution that allows me to analyze the behavior of states based on their shared expectations and identity in international community. Norms, which form a standard of appropriate behavior, always evolve and thus I deal with their life-cycle. Further I inquire into the application of this theoretical framework in nuclear weapons and into two concepts that expand upon it: nuclear taboo and nuclear deviation. I present the relationship between these two concepts and the dominant approach of deterrence, their pros and cons, and their differences. I demonstrate the contribution of these concepts by applying them to historical cases of (non-)use of nuclear weapons. The part of my thesis devoted to cyberspace begins with a discussion of terminology and of the aspects that differentiate cyberspace from other domains. I follow this up by a study of previous practice of cyber attacks and by the analysis of norm emergence in three areas: arms control, (non-)use of cyber weapons, and normative deterrence. My method...
Human trafficking in the agenda of international organisations
Košárková, Barbora ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Daniel, Jan (referee)
This Bachelor thesis is concerned with the influence of international organizations on the trafficking in human beings. First part of the work describes historical background of human trafficking, but also the definition of this criminal activity and types of exploitation of human beings within the framework of trafficking in human beings. The paper also tries to come up with statistics concerning human trafficking, especially the victims and their age, gender, origin and type of exploitation. Other statistics concerns the countries of origin, transit and destination, which are most frequently used towards human trafficking. Last chapter of the first part deals with international organizations which are fighting against human trafficking. Among those international organizations, there are government organizations like UN or EU, but also nongovernmental organizations, which usually focus on helping the victims of human trafficking. The second part of this work is focusing on particular international organizations-UN, EU, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. Documents concerning human trafficking are chosen in the files of these organizations, with the purpose to find the definition of human trafficking, punishment of this crime, prevention and the protection of victims of human trafficking...
