The media coverage of the Gulf War in contemporary news
Štěpánek, Jan ; Horký, Petr (advisor) ; Chrenčík, Roman (referee)
The thesis will deal with the 1991 Gulf War conflict, the reason for the occurrence of this series of events, the consequences caused, and above all the course of this power struggle from the point of view of the media environment. The core of the thesis will be an analysis of the domestic and foreign press during the conflict. This analysis will also compare the change in the attitude of the media and also the attitude of the military towards the media. This approach will be compared to previous conflicts, which include the Vietnam War, and will shed light on the possible changes that have occurred over time. The thesis will aim to introduce the reader to the conflict itself, presenting a comprehensive view of the selected contemporary press, focusing on Czech and American sources. The periodicals analyzed will be Red Law and The Washington Post from the period January 17, 1991 - February 28, 1991.

Comparison of operation Desert Storm 1991 and operation Iraqi Freedom 2003
Machýčková, Hana ; Eichler, Jan (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
The bachelor thesis examines the operations Desert Storm 1991 and Iraqi Freedom 2003 and its goal is to compare these from the perspective of both legality and legitimacy. The first part of the thesis presents a brief outline of Iraq's history with emphasis on the latter half of the 20th century, relations between Iraq and the United States of America, as well as the international context and chronology of both these operations. The second chapter discusses the legal regulation of jus ad bellum, its development and current state. The third chapter analyses the legality of the operations; i.e. their conformity with jus ad bellum. The final chapter compares both operations from the perspective of legitimacy, using criteria professed by Gareth Evans and Samuel Huntington respectively.
