Media analysis as an Early Warning System tool - the case of Mali
Kopečný, Tomáš ; Hynek, Nikola (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of Early Warning Systems (EWS), a key part of conflict prevention. It applies a model of quantitative analysis of international media outputs on the case of the Mali insurgency in January 2012. As an EWS tool, it analyzes international media represented by the major global press agencies. The main goal of the thesis is to answer the following research question: Did the international media manage to anticipate the outbreak of the conflict in Mali? The answer should also show whether international media can detect growing tensions leading to a conflict and therefore whether they could be used as an EWS tool. The application of the model should, observing the period from August 2011 to the beginning of the insurgency on January 17, 2012, prove whether the conflict could have been anticipated. In order to contextualize the model, structural factors of instability were identified in the discussion of the dynamics of the conflict that has been repeating itself for dozens of years. A discourse analysis of international media during the observed period was also presented on the background of the securitization theory of the Copenhagen school of security studies. The discourse analysis and the quantitative EWS model have both shown that international media have not...

Conceptualization of the Use of International Media as an Early Warning System Tool on the Case of Mali
Kopečný, Tomáš ; Hynek, Nikola (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of Early Warning Systems (EWS), a key part of conflict prevention. It applies a model of content analysis of international media outputs on the case of the Mali insurgency in January 2012. As an EWS tool, it analyzes international media represented by major global press agencies. The main goal of the thesis is to answer the following research question: Are international media a suitable tool for EWS by showing that their analysis could have predicted the outbreak of the conflict in Mali in January 2012? The answer should also show whether international media can detect growing tensions leading to a conflict as well as test the plausibility of the EWS model. The application of the model should, observing the period from August 2011 to the beginning of the insurgency on January 17, 2012, prove whether the conflict could have been anticipated. In order to contextualize the model, structural factors of instability were identified in the discussion of the dynamics of the conflict that has been repeating itself for dozens of years. A discourse analysis of international media during the observed period was also presented on the background of the securitization theory of the Copenhagen school of security studies. The discourse analysis and the quantitative EWS model have...
