Vajda, Jan ; Raška, Francis (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with people, organizations and movements which strived for better conditions of blacks in the United States of America during 1960's. However its focus is on those for whom the answer wasn't the integration into American society rather they pursued racial separation and often advocated violence. After introduction of some predecessors who held similar views during previous decades it addresses Malcolm X and influence of his opinions on the organizations, which emerged during second half of the decade. In the next chapter the aim is on Black Power movement, which emphasized the importance of economic and institutional autonomy of blacks. Next chapter examines the Black Panther Party and its promotion of armed self-defense which roused the USA. Ghetto activities of this party also have a space. Last chapter assesses the legacy of these groups.

U.S. policies to combat Mexican drug trafficking organizations
Vajda, Jan ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Ludvík, Zdeněk (referee)
This master thesis deals with policies of United States of America in combat against Mexican drug cartels, which are responsible for overwhelming majority of drugs flowing into USA. Although huge demand for drugs by U.S. citizens is crucial aspect in a long-term, this work put emphasis on immediate solutions, which would weaken the general position of cartels and therefore limit the flow of drugs into the country. Drug cartels are perceived as transnational criminal organizations a research aims to find out whether USA acknowledge this fact and whether they adapt their policies. The subjects of this research are two documents - cooperation with Mexico under the Mérida Initiative and U.S. Strategy to Combat Transnational Organized Crime. Threats of organized crime and goals in fight against it presented in these two documents serve as reference points and basis for evaluation of U.S. actions.
