The phenomenon of refugees in the Syrian civil war
Durdisová, Marcela ; Lisa, Aleš (advisor) ; Prorok, Vladimír (referee)
This thesis deals with the current issue of refugees on the background of the Syrian civil war and its consequences for stability in the region. With regard to the fact that the crisis in Syria is felt throughout the entire Middle East region, the aim of this work is to map the impact of the conflict on neighboring countries of Syria. Based on the hypothesis, the effects of civil war and refugee phenomenon destabilize the whole region; therefore, my research question concerns political and social implications of the Syrian crisis in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. The work also reveals the vulnerability of these countries, which find themselves in a dangerous situation resulting from the Syrian events. In terms of methodology, this work uses a variety of methods. My research relies especially on the methods of research, description, comparison, analysis and synthesis, historical method and interview method as well. Based on these methods, I will answer the research question through a wide range of impacts, covering security, political, social, ethnic, and economic issues of the analyzed countries.

The Impact of the Civil War on the Economy of the USA
Starý, Václav ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Fabianková, Klára (referee)
The aim of this study is to analyze the economy of the United States before, but mainly after the American Civil War. The first part of the thesis is aimed at the comparison of antebellum economies of Southern and Northern American States and the causes which led to the outbreak of the military conflict. The issues of slavery, different economic development or tense political situation are discussed. The second part deals with the economic impact of the Civil War and with the subsequent post-bellum economic development in the United States. On the basis of such evaluated data, the hypothesis, claiming that the Civil War represented the revolution in the development of the American economy, which we would not have experienced without the military conflict, is tested. I conclude that the war cannot be seen as a watershed in neither American economic development - nor in the North, where transformation into the industrial society had already begun before the war, or in the Southern states, where the emancipation of slaves caused diminution in agriculture productivity which contributed to the economic backwardness of the South.

Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka - current situation of the conflict
Zabranská, Andrea ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Husák, Jan (referee)
This thesis focuses on the current situation of the conflict in Sri Lanka after the civil war. Its aim is to map the conflict from the point of view of its causes, course and in particular the development after the official ending of the conflict in 2009. The work raises a question why the conflict has not been resolved even after the end of war and eventually attempts to determine possibilities for further development in the future. The first part deals with the key terms such as nation, nationalism, ethnicity, ethnic conflict and theory of ethnic conflict. The second chapter maps the entire conflict with emphasis on the period of civil war. The third part of work analyses the entire Srilankan conflict and its current development from the theoretical point of view. Simultaneously it deals with the attitude of the international community to this conflict. The final part also concentrates on a possible future development and its potential solutions.

Cotton Industry and the Civil War in the USA
Tomeš, Pavel ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Chalupecký, Petr (referee)
The topic of this work is production of raw cotton in USA before the civil war. Cotton growing is typical industry, in which slave labour has been used. Cotton production in the second half of 19th century was important industry worldwide. This is the reason why I use this industry to analyze slavery. Some slaves had higher level of nourishment than some free labourers in the North. This is the reason why I focus on calculation of costs, which were paid for use a slave labour. I make a cost analysis of cotton production and I also calculate income of this production. In opposite this situation I create a hypothetical model situation. In this model would plantation owners employ free labourers. Results of this model I compare with costs of war which were paid by South. This way I figure out motivations for South to make war and defend slavery. By analytic method and theoretical model I gain better picture of slave plantations and importance of slavery for whole southern economy. JEL classification N310, N410, N510, J230, J320

The civil war in Libya
Varjan, Milan ; Kochan, Jan (advisor) ; Kočišíková, Viera (referee)
The thesis covers the topic of the armed rebellion in Libya that gradually spiraled into a full-blown civil war and thanks to a timely military intervention ultimately led to the collapse of Muammar Gaddafi's regime. Drawing on a set of CDA principles I identify main features of the political discourse set in the socially-political milieu of the civil war in Libya prior to the adoption of the UN Security Council Resolution No. 1973, which provided a mandate for a military intervention in Libya that was subsequently carried out by the USA, NATO and other members of the ad hoc coalition. Also, through a prism of realism I elaborate on the circumstances leading to said military intervention, its development (of the intervention) and finally its outcome.
