(A)symmetric dynamics of the conflict in Sri Lanka
Granátová, Lenka ; Aslan, Emil (advisor) ; Dopita, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis (A)symmteric dynamics of the conflict in Sri Lanka is an attempt to apply the theoretical concept of asymmetric conflicts and asymmetric warfare to the empirical case of the conflict in Sri Lanka and to figure out whether or not the asymmetric nature of the relationship between the sides of the conflict was the cause of the conflict's long term persistence and incapability of finding a durable solution to the conflict . In order to do so, the author first introduced the theoretical framework itself and highlighted the most significant features which were furthermore employed as the tool for the following analysis. On this basis the conflict in Sri Lanka was set into the theoretical framework and relevant asymmetries between the two counterparts - the Sri Lankan government/army and the organization of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam - were identified. As the next step, the author tried to embrace the variable dynamics of the conflict in terms of relevant asymmetries and also symmetries which came to being within the course of the conflict. Since the symmetric situation is deemed to be more advantageous for finding the solution to a conflict, the author focused on the impact of the "symmetrization" on the prospects for the solution to the Sri Lankan conflict. However, the final findings...
Problematic aspects of democracy in India and Sri Lanka
Granátová, Lenka ; Novotný, Radek (referee) ; Hons, Pavel (advisor)
The thesis "Problematic Aspects of Democracy in India and Sri Lanka" deals with those aspects of the two South-Asian democracies which are considered contradictory to democratic regimes or at least problematize them. The thesis includes general consideration of what is specific for Asian democracies in comparison to the western concept of liberal democracy, the analysis of two cases - India and Sri Lanka - and their comprehensive comparison. The author tries to point out that despite many common features and geographical proximity these two countries differ a lot regarding the evolution of democracy.
