Meissner, Jan ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Rovná, Lenka (referee)
The topic of the master thesis is putting together two subjects that always sharply polarize academic, but also political and public debate - euroscepticism and Nobel Peace Prize.

The paper is operating with a hypothesis that it was this critical phenomenon, typical only for EU, being the main component of the negative debate overshadowing expected criticism with regard to the purpose of the award. For the second hypothesis which anticipates that the topics of euroscepticism make the EU specific laureate is necessary to compare this case with three other international organizations (and their criticism) that were recently awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize. These organizations include Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (laureate in 2013), Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2007) and United Nations (2001). The first chapter introduces the Nobel Peace Prize and its specifications. The topics typical for euroscepticism are generated in the second part through academic debate on both party politics euroscepticism and public...

He also worked for the weekly magazine "Die Weltbühne", which was the forum of free expression during the Weimar Republic, particularly for leftist intellectuals; in 1927 he was named editor-in-chief. At the onset of the First World War he joined the pacifistic association Deutsche Friedensgesellschaft (German Peace Society, DFG), which tried to combat pro-war propaganda. He also worked for another pacifistic movement, "Nie-Wieder-Krieg" ("Never Again War"), and contributed to its titular newspaper. Ossietzky campaigned against German militarism and in his articles he pointed out the law-breaking of the Treaty of Versailles. The German government accused him therefore of high treason and brought him to court several times, culminating in his eventual conviction and incarceration in 1932. After the Nazi regime took over Germany, Ossietzky was sent to a concentration camp. He was then...
