A US and EU Comparison on Securing Critical Infrastructure
McGrath, Kevin ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Karásek, Tomáš (referee)
Kevin McGrath Abstract This thesis looks to assess the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in building critical energy infrastructure, and its implications for energy and national security. The clear majority of academic literature in energy security focuses exclusively on energy supply, and demand, but there is little written on the security issues facing countries when financing critical energy infrastructure projects. Through assessing the (1) recent history of privatization, (2) the development of the domestic PPP model, and (3) current relationships with PPPs in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France this thesis will look to identify the underlying domestic cultural normative debate which is driving policy making decisions. By understanding the general historical trends of privatization, and economic ideologies in governments over the past 40+ years, we can see the current and future trends in building critical energy infrastructure. By understanding the constantly evolving factors, and interdependencies at play, this thesis highlights the role of public-private partnerships in critical energy infrastructure, and energy security in general.

Energy security of the Czech Republic
Kopecký, Jan ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
Undisputed necessity of energy resources for functioning of our society is obvious at every turn. However, safe and continuous supplies of energy cannot be taken for granted. It is mainly caused by an uneven distribution of energy resources on our planet. It comes as no surprise that possession of energy resources plays an essential role for various reasons, for example it can serve as a tool for enforcing one's economic goals or for strengthening one's political power. Thus, energy security represents a multidimensional issue which needs to be perceived from several different angles. This diploma thesis primarily focuses on energy security of the Czech Republic from the perspective of readiness to deal with interruption of energy supplies and from the perspective of critical infrastructure protection. Due to high complexity of this problematics, and due to the impossibility of the Czech Republic to deal with energy security only on a national level, are the aforementioned issues examined in connection with energy security of the European Union.

Planning of restoring Critical Infrastructure on local level
LÁCHOVÁ, Veronika
Critical infrastructure (CI) is one of the most important branches in crisis man-agement. In recent years, CI demonstrated its importance on many occasions. My work is focused on the analysis of risks which can be a possible threat to CI. This is because the most important part of securing CI is the prevention of, and prepara-tion for, interruptions or damage. The risks in this part were specified using a FRAP analysis. I also identify the main reciprocal dependencies of all CI sectors to demonstrate which sector is the most important one. Finally, I specify the process of recovering or restoring these CI sectors. A new method was intentionally used for analytical-synthetic models. This method, in conjunction with the use of a FRAP analysis, is new to the branch of crisis management and was used for first time. The main aim of my work is to improve knowledge about CI at a regional level {--} city of České Budějovice. I submit new ways of identifying risks and resolv-ing problems during the recovery phase {--} specialized in CI.
