War as a videogame: construction of the sociocultural otherness in the Near-eastern conflict
Pavelka, Kamil ; Kratochvíl, Petr (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
This diploma thesis analyses the construction of the Near-Eastern conflict, it's actors and the problematic of the "Self -- Others" relationship in digital games. This Near-Eastern conflict can be viewed as a constructed, thought object or representation with blurred space-time boudnaries, which is not necessarily identical with "material reality". Despite it not being identical, the constructed object does nevertheless contribute to the creation of identities of the material reality's participants, and as such influences their behaviour and the behaviour towards them. In the field of international relations, this constructed identity can have important implications.

Chudoba, Jan ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Volenec, Otakar (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of the organization Islamic State, which has expanded in the territories of Iraq and Syria where it announced an establishment of a caliphate, which has not been recognized by any state. The Islamic state has challenged the status quo of Iraq and Syria and has significantly contributed to the destabilization of the region of the Near East. The aim of the thesis is primarily to analyze factors that have led to the radicalization of the locals, eventually to the support and expansion of this organization. The theoretical part of the thesis explains how the states of the Near East were created, describes the roots of the Sunni-Shia split and analyzes the socioeconomic and partly security development of Iraq and Syria. The practical part focuses especially on the development in Iraq after the fall of the regime of Saddam Hussein in 2003 and on the development in Syria after the beginning of the civil war in 2011 because these events are of great importance for today's situation. The last chapter of the thesis summarizes the efforts in fighting against this organization and outlines the influence of its existence on the region of the Near East.
