The development of EU democracy assistance in the 21st century: the case of Tunisia after the Arab Spring
Linhart, Jakub ; Hornát, Jan (advisor) ; Matějka, Ondřej (referee)
This paper investigates the developments of European democracy promotion in the second decade of the 21st century or more precisely after the Arab spring. The research of the European promotion structure is based on a thorough analysis, using Tunisia as an example. After this analysis, this paper further focuses on the development of overall European democracy support in Morocco, Egypt and in the broader region. From this research we learn, that in the second half of the 2010s there is an increase in the finances intended for democracy promotion in both absolute and relative terms (when compared to other sectors). This thesis analyses possible reasons for this surge e.g. an attempt to compensate for the democratic deficit in the EU or a reaction to the migration crisis. At the same time, this paper examines the limits of this development and argues that for example the need for stability will further limit any future development of the European democracy support.

The Way Czech Media Interpreted Northafrican Dictators Before and After the Revolutions of the Arab Spring
Hartman, Matouš ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (advisor) ; Láb, Filip (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on three North African dictators who were overthrown in revolution of so called Arab Spring in 2011. These dictators are Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia; Hosni Mubarak, Egypt, and Muammar Gaddafí, Libya. These three dictators were chosen because of their importance in the Arab Spring movement. In Ben Ali's ruled Tunisia the revolution started, Libya went through a civil war that ended with Gaddafi's death giving chance to the people to change the regime. Egypt is considered to be politically the most important Arab country and during Mubarak's rule it used to be a stable state. The revolution disclaimed this hypothesis. The thesis aims at comparing the way that two Czech weekly magazines Respekt and Týden wrote about the dictators. If we compare the pre-revoltuion era (from 2007 until early 2011) and the revolution year 2011, we can see the increase in the number of the texts published and that the way of speaking about the dictators has partically changed. We cannot leave without notice the scepticism which the magazines expressed to the upcoming elites after the falls of the dictators. The year 2011 witnessed the change and in case of Gaddafi, also the dictator's death. The dictators were presented by media as the guarantors of the stability in the region. Then in...
