British Reflection of the Kosovo Conflict and NATO Intervention: T.G. Ash and Noel Malcolm
Rendla, Michal ; Pikal, Kamil (advisor) ; Váška, Jan (referee)
The present bachelor thesis deals with reflection of the Kosovo conflict and NATO intervention in texts of British historians T. G. Ash and Noel Malcolm. The objective of the study is to compare the interpretation and opinions of the authors. This was achieved by using a comparative historiographical analysis based on interpretation of their texts in three areas - the causes of the conflict; the war in Kosovo and NATO intervention; the consequences of NATO intervention and the development of post-war Kosovo. It was found that the authors disagree on the major causes of the conflict in Kosovo. Both scholars interpet the war in Kosovo with pro-Albanian attitude, which is however stronger in Noel Malcolm's work. They both agree on the necessity of the NATO intervention, but their interpretation of the consequences of intervention is significantly different. However, they present the same opinion that Kosovo's claim to independence is legitimate.
Remember the Bombs: Memory of the Belgrade Bombings from the Second World War from 1995 until 2003
Puškarov, Katarina ; Vojtěchovský, Ondřej (advisor) ; Daniel, Ondřej (referee)
This study explores the usage of the memory of the bombings of Belgrade from WWII in the time period of Yugoslavia from 1995 until 2003. Considering that Belgrade was bombed by two opposing forces during WWII, once by Nazis in 1941, and the second time by the Allies in 1944, and due to the fact that the exploitation of memory of the two bombings was rather unequal during the Socialist Yugoslavia with the latter bombings being a taboo theme, I was interested in answering following questions: how the two memories were used in the times before, during and after the NATO Air Strikes of Yugoslavia, if the memory of the Allied bombings emerged in the public sphere and how it coexists with the one of the Nazi bombings. My primary sources are articles from "Politika" newspaper issues from commemoration dates during the research time frame from 1995 until 2003. The final conclusion shows the dominant usage of the memory of the Nazi bombings throughout the whole time frame even though we could witness the emergence of the memory of the Allied bombings.
