Land of freedom or land of surveillance? Right to privacy in the U.S. after 9/11 Abstract The United States of America has been always perceived as a land of freedom. The U.S. citizens are very proud of their Constitution that became model for other constitutions in the world. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 not only brought a change in the U.S. foreign policy as the war on terror was launched, but also influenced the domestic political development and caused creation of a complex network of security legislative. These antiterrorism measures have been criticized, as the programs arising especially from the Patriot Act are controversial, challenging the civil rights and especially the right to privacy. In 2013, Edward Snowden revealed secret spying programs of the National Security Agency. This thesis examines the discrepancies between the proclaimed freedom and the reality, in which the United States is ranked among endemic surveillance societies. Keywords: USA, Patriot Act, Snowden, NSA, surveillance, antiterrorism legislative

Pata, Martin ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Eichler, Jan (referee)
This thesis examines the foreign policy of the 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama. A significant theme of Barack Obama's candidacy for presidency was "change"; more specifically change in policy from previous administration. Therefore, the thesis looks at the changes brought about by President Obama once he was elected. First, we look at foreign policy of the United States under President George W. Bush, then we look at foreign policy-related assertions of Barack Obama during his candidacy, and lastly we look at the actual policies of the new administration, with particular focus on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, drones and extrajudicial killing, Guantanamo detention facility and extraordinary rendition, and NSA surveillance.
