The Intractability of The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Comparing The Delegitimizing Discourse in Political Speeches by Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas from 2015 until 2018
Shin, David ; Oberpfalzerová, Hana (advisor) ; Záhora, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor's thesis views and analyzes the Israel-Palestinian conflict through the lens of Louis Kriesberg's intractable conflict theory (Kriesberg, 1998) and Daniel Bar-Tal's theory of delegitimization (Bar-Tal,1998). This work compares mutual delegitimization and the discourse of the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas by using a thematic discourse analysis. This work builds specifically on the theory of delegitimization of Neta Oren and Daniel Bar-Tal (Oren, Bar-Tal, 2007), which consists of five dimensions of delegitimization: dehumanization, trait characterization, outcasting, political labels, and group comparison. A sample of speeches of Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas from the years from 2015 until 2018 has been analyzed. The delineation is chosen in this way since in 1994, peace accords between Israel and Palestine broke down. Also in this period character of conflicts changed to so-called Third intifada, which consists of series of smaller frequent conflicts. Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas as political leaders of both countries play significant roles in the Israel-Palestinian conflict development. Their discourse and the contents of their speeches played an important role in society, because it gives it a direction. Both...

The Role of Chosen Intergenerational Traumas in The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in The Light of The Theory of Vamık D. Volkan
Pits, Anastasia ; Oberpfalzerová, Hana (advisor) ; Karásek, Tomáš (referee)
My bachelor thesis is based on studies of Vamik D. Volkan and his analysis about psychology of conflicts. The studies are applied on chosen traumas of intractable conflict in Karabakh. The bachelor thesis suggests an investigation upon the influence of those traumas on the intensity of conflict and their exploitation for political and national mobilization. According to methodological point of view, Volkans theory of chosen trauma is presented firstly. Afterwards, an detailed analysis of conflict in Karabakh, its main political features and historical development would be shown. Firstly, an emphasis is made on those events, which represent elements of Volkan theory on chosen trauma. The investigation compares chosen traumas of Armenians and Azerbaijanis and their influence on modern policy upon the conflict in Karabakh. The goal of this project is to show that media and press makes an emphasis on Genocide as a chosen trauma of Armenians, while the traumas of Azerbaijanis are mostly ignored, however, it's impossible to deny their existence. Furthermore, chosen traumas of both countries would be compared and contrasted. To sum up, the exploitation of chosen traumas by politicians would be analyzed between the years 1988-1994 to show their role for mobilization.
