Israeli Security and Existential threats in 21. Century
Podracká, Petra ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
This Master Thesis aims to present the current existential threats to Israeli security. Israel is a Jewish country in the middle of the Muslim region and her demise is wished by many involved parties. The Author describes sophisticated security systems of Israel, their efficiency and its unofficial nuclear program. From the state actors, it is Iran that has become the number one perceived threat in Israel thanks to its officials' rhetoric, its support towards terrorist organizations and its nuclear program. Israel is often involved in asymmetrical conflicts against non-state actors like Hamas and Hezbollah. The new extremist group Islamic State can also potentially pose a threat. Has Israel got reasons to worry about her existence? Has the Arab Spring brought about positives, negatives, or new possibilities? The Author aims to answer these questions.

Conspiracy Theories and Disinformation in the Islamic World from the Perspective of Western Countries and Their Foreign Policy
Scheiner, Miroslav ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
This Master's thesis deals with conspiracy theories and disinformation, a topic received with insufficient attention in the field of international relations. The phenomenon constitutes one of the most distinctive features of the Islamic world; therefore, it has significant importance for the Western foreign policy towards the region. The thesis is divided into four chapters and aims to provide Western countries with a set of foreign-policy recommendations in relation to the phenomenon of conspiracy theories and disinformation in the Islamic world. The thesis does so on the basis of a thorough analysis of the general mechanisms of conspiracy theories (1st chapter), and the specific conditions and circumstances of their emergence and dissemination in the Islamic world (2nd chapter). The study of the case of Aafia Siddiqui (3rd chapter) leads to the conclusion that the implication of conspiracy theories and disinformation in the activities of Islamic extremist groups represents a serious security threat for the Western countries, which the current policy leaves with no adequate response (4th chapter). As an outcome, the thesis proposes ten basic principles which should serve to the Western countries as a guideline for their approach to conspiracy theories and disinformation in the Islamic world. The main import of this thesis lies in it being one of the first attempts with regard to the researched topic to perform a comprehensive analysis with practical outcomes.

Political extremism, its occurrence in the Pilsen region and ways of prevention.
DUCHEK, Ondřej
In this work, I´ve focused on the extremism in the Czech Republic, specifically in the Pilsen Region. Because of the Czech Republic being a part of the European culture, I worked the topic of extremism in the context of Western Europe in the theoretical part. It is also important because the Czech right - wing and left - wing extremist scene sources more or less from the Western European roots of right - wing and left - wing extremism. In the theoretical part I introduce the reasons of the extremism presence in the society, what roots it comes from, I define basic terms and historical development within Europe in the past decades. I also refer to the extremism in Czech Republic after the year 1989 till present. In the practical part I worked on the topic of extremism in Pilsen Region specifically. This is based on the information received from policemen responsible for extremist crimes investigations. In the end of the practical part the readers may learn the survey results. I explored the high school youth and its relationship with various extremist movements in the country. At last I attemted to prepare the educational materials suitable for the primary prevention in the high schools.
