Kostínek, Lukáš ; Faix, Martin (advisor) ; Honusková, Věra (referee)
International Legal Aspects of State Failure The phenomenon of failed states is one of the great issues in our contemporary world.

Whether the phenomenon is designated as a collapse of a state, collapse of a state authority, state failure, or as a collapsed, failed, failing state or otherwise, there is nowadays much more attention attached to it from the ranks of statesmen and representatives of international organizations. That is why I chose to deal with this issue. The content of this work is structured from the most general topic regarding this issue, which means from general definition of the term, characteristics of a failed state as a phenomenon in expert, not only legal, discussion and it's difference from similiar phenomenons towards particular aspects arising from public international law and summarization of a situation in some of real failed or failing states.

This diploma thesis is a case study aiming to analyse the development of socioeconomic and political situation in Somalia between 2007 and 2016. Based on this analysis, it should be decided whether it is justified to rank Somalia among the so called collapsed states. This analysis is performed using the critical tool Fragile States Index developed by the Fund for Peace organisation. Its underlying concept are twelve basic indicators divided in three groups: social, economic and political. The thesis consists of five parts: the first chapter presents a theoretical framework, summarizes the issue of weak statehood and defines basic concepts. The second, third and fourth chapters constitute the main part of the thesis presenting the analysis of the socioeconomic and political situation in Somalia conducted with the use of the FSI tool. The fifth chapter shows the particular development of the FSI in Somalia between 2007 and 2016.

Janků, Kateřina ; Riegl, Martin (advisor) ; Romancov, Michael (referee)
Diploma thesis called "Typology of weak, fragile, failing, failed, collapsed states" lays the objective to look into all kinds of collapsed states, and then it wants to compare to what measurement answers the specified typological conception to the reality. In the introduction the study attends to definitions of the terms state,sovereignty and nation which are nearly connected with the issue. As well the reasons for geographical enlistment will be given at the same time. The first chapter is focused on the characteristic features of the different types of watched states. That is why the comparison of the terms is included, its objective is specification and coherence of the terminology. The next part will be engaged in the application of chosen marks to the concrete African countries. There is simultaneously offered the answer to question, in what way and to what measurement the theoretical conception differ from the real functioning. And then it is seen if the enlistment of countries agrees with their general situation, and there are eventually watched some reasons if it does not agree. The last but one chapter is focused on the critical review of the whole typology of collapsed states and it mediates a wide range of aspects and findings which are brought by the typology.
