The Dissolution of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia - A Comparative Case Study
Kaplan, Petr ; Ditrych, Ondřej (advisor) ; Karlas, Jan (referee)
The thesis compares two different modes of state disintegration of post-communist federations. Yugoslavia is an example of a violent breakup, Czechoslovakia stands for a peaceful way, how to split a state. Using the Level of Analysis concept the study looks for differences at five levels focusing mainly on the change caused by the process of democratic transition in both states that removed the old regime and brought a competitive atmosphere among the old and new elites representing various ethnic groups. The outcome of the analysis is that the role of the army, the length of the liberalization process and the different historical experience are factors that matter most.

Full-fledged attempts at establishing new states or ephemeral projects? Case study Azawad, Republic of Logone and Boko Haram chaliphate
Čepičková, Lucie ; Riegl, Martin (advisor) ; Kofroň, Jan (referee)
This diploma theses deals with attempts to declare independent states, namely in the case of the Republic of Azawad, Logone and Boko Haram caliphate, which originated between 2012 and 2015. Today, the existence of deviant forms of the state is nothing new, so there are many concepts and classifications that relate to this issue. For this theses will be the significant particular concept of states-within-states by Ian Spears and Paul Kingston and the classification by Bartosz Stanislawski, extended by authors Katarzyn Pełczyńska-Nałęc, Krzysztof Strachot and Maciej Falkowski. The subsequent description of the causes, the way of dominating the area and the events after the declaration of the independent state itself in the individual case studies will lead to a analysis of the way in which the area is administrated or the newly established institutions. Due to this analysis, it will be able to apply the states-within-states concept and Bartosz Stanislawki's classification and then determine whether this application is possible in all three cases. The last part of the work, which should confirm or disapprove the main hypothesis of the work, will then be used to evaluate whether the specific attempts are rather effective or ephemeral projects.
