Private Military Companies in Africa
Šváb, David ; Kváča, Vladimír (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
The Master's thesis "Private Military Companies in Africa" deals with the issues of the private military and security companies and their current position in international security relations. The central thesis of this academic publication is the question whether these commercial companies are capable of representing a significant position within the international community and executing extensive operations in conflict resolution and the subsequent transition towards a stable arrangement of the stricken regions. Essentially, the arguments leading to the key objective of this thesis are drawing upon a comparative study of recent activities of PMCs on the African continent, a discursive analysis of the approach towards these private subjects, as well as their international legal status. Consequently, by relying on the gathered information from the aforementioned research, the most substantial section of the text offers basic models of potential widespread use of private military companies in connection with national states and international organizations and explains the benefits resulting from this shift towards privatization of global security. Furthermore, the publication points out specific contemporary cases for the prospective application of PMCs and analyses the space for this industry within the existing international system.

Bachelor thesis "The Development of Mozambique After the Declaration of Independence" studies events and links, that have happened in this country since the declaration of the independent state in 1975 up to the present and possible future evolution of the state.

The thesis covers not only the course of the internal conflict, but also its roots, its reflection on the international scene and also the role of international community, especially the one of the UN and the ONUMOZ peacekeeping mission in the process of democratisation and the transition to the multiparty system. In the last chapters, the thesis deals with the own consequences of the war on many levels and predicts a possible future evolution of the country. This text covers many topics and is dedicted to both the international relations experts and the public interested in the course of events in the region of southern Africa.
