Exopolitics and Security in the 21. Century
Zelinka, Ladislav ; Prorok, Vladimír (advisor) ; Lisa, Aleš (referee)
The thesis introduces a new field of social sciences, the exopolitics, and poses a question, whether extra-terrestial intelligence constitutes a threat to security. The problem is discussed through analysis of primary data, which are in particular these: official documents, studies, letters, memoranda, witnesses' testimonies, official statements and other reliable evidence. Theoreticaly I refer to the existing exopolitical literature, mainly of M. Salla, and two selected papers. The aim is to show that the exopolitical study is actual, legitimate and well-founded and deserves more attention and credit. The thesis wishes to give an inspiring appeal to promote further study of the field through academia and other educational institutions.
