Detainment Ethics, Why Europe and the US Disagree on Torture as an Interrogation Method
Craig, Damon ; Calda, Miloš (advisor) ; Karásek, Tomáš (referee)
Protecting the human rights of prisoners has become an issue of paramount interest over the last several years, and rightfully so. In the wake of political and cultural upheaval throughout the Balkan States, and with the current trend towards fighting terrorism, prisoners, and the information they possess, have become increasingly important. Just as important as obtaining this crucial information, however, is ensuring that means of interrogation do not evolve into greater injustices than the crimes themselves. Historically, international bodies have been established and reformed following periods of severe human rights atrocities. Genocide and ethnic cleansing, for example, have served as such incidents severe enough to raise international action. Through their broad definitions and policies, these international mechanisms set forth to protect human rights on a global level, but only thought regional cooperation can this tremendous goal ever be achieved. It will be the purpose of this research to examine, in detail, international cooperation from two of the world's most major regional players, Europe and the United States. Because these two regional powers share so many similarities, including, among many others, common cultural roots, comparable economic function, and similar legal systems, one would...

Zelenka, Jan ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Bláhová, Marie (referee)
If we resume the results of our comparison, we can see that the basic difference between the duchy of Saxony, territorial domain of Henry the Lion and Bohemian principality is represented by inner political structure of these domains. In consequent this inner political structure were also the chances ofthe emperor encroach diverged. The Saxonian duchy was a conglomerate of major number of aristocratic domains. The holders of these domains (bishops, earls ..... etc.) did not subordinate to fiats of the duke, they did not grant his authority. His power and support from emperor Frederick I. Barbarossa gave him a factual dominance over the other princes of Saxony however it did not let him to beared rule over them.

Nations and terrorisms in speeches by V.V. Putin and G.W. Bush
Dyurych, Pavlo ; Kabele, Jiří (advisor) ; Kandert, Josef (referee)
In this cross-national case study the author, as a former appreciator of Vladimir Putin's policy toward Chechnya, has tried to interpret the war on terrorism as a constructed entity by political leaders in crisis situations. Being inspired by the structural analysis of mythology he tries to identify the similarities and differences in the narratives about terrorism constructed by Vladimir Putin and G.W. Bush. The author argues that the both situations - in Russia in September 1999 and in USA after 11.9.2001 - could be regarded as crisis situations, and that is why the similarities could be found in the narratives about terrorism, articulated by both political leaders. In the first part of this paper, the author has shown the historical context of crisis in both countries. The second and the third part of the work is a qualitative content analysis of Bush's and Putin's speeches related to terrorism. The author has analytically divided speeches into two major blocks: "before" (speeches produced by the leaders in the short period after the crisis) and "after" (speeches produced by the leaders during their military campaigns on terror). The author argues that despite the minor mutations in the narrative, the structure of the myth was not affected. The main achievement of this case study is the finding that the...
