The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on meeting the objectives of the EU's Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025 in the Czech Republic and Austria
Jančíková, Natálie ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Bauer, Paul (referee)

Jančíková, Natálie ; Čížek, Martin (advisor) ; Mejstřík, Martin (referee)
The Bachelor thesis deals with the British COIN strategy during the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960). The aim of the thesis is to explain how the British managed to win the fight against the communist guerrilla. The work is divided into three main parts describing three different approaches that the British applied during the conflict. The first part of the work focuses on the role of violence and coercion, which were characteristic features of the first phase of the emergency. The following chapter deals with the Briggs Plan, which aimed on gaining maximum control over the Malayan population. This plan included, among other things, the resettlement of half a million ethnic Chinese to so-called new villages. The last chapter discusses the strategy of hearts and minds. The essence of this strategy was the improvement of the life standards of the Malayan population, emphasis on the work of the intelligence services, but also the use of propaganda or collective punishment.
