Nuclear Iran Oversecuritized? The Politics of Benjamin Netanyahu's Speeches
Orossová, Eva ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Ditrych, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis "Nuclear Iran Oversecuritized? The Politics of Benjamin Netanyahu's Speeches" is concerned with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speeches held in front of the UN, American Congress, Jewish lobby in the US AIPAC and foreign audience by several special occasions. It is based on the assumption that language is not only a neutral communication tool, but also a political tool serving the aim of achieving political goals. The aim of the thesis is to identify the linguistic tools of categorization, legitimization and securitization which Netanyahu used in order to persuade the international audience about the imminence and existential character of the threat posed by Iranian nuclear programme, and finally to achieve its elimination or at least tough punishment for Iranian non-compliance. Moreover, the thesis provides the reader with the overall context, namely the effect of Netanyahu's speeches, the nature of Iranian nuclear programme and its consequences for the situation in the Middle East.

Non-problematic Construction? A Comparison of German Society's Reaction to the Construction of the Mosques in Duisburg and Cologne
Orossová, Eva ; Dimitrov, Michal (advisor) ; Šrámková, Jana (referee)
The bachelor thesis Non-problematic Construction? A Comparison of German Society's Reaction to the Construction of the Mosques in Duisburg and Cologne compares the construction of the Merkez Mosque in Duisburg-Marxloh with the construction of the Central Mosque in Cologne-Ehrenfeld. Despite these two mosques being structurally similar, the reaction of the German society to their construction has been completely different. The Merkez Mosque has been accepted and represents a non-problematic construction; in contrast, the Central Mosque led to a conflict while provoking protests, and it is perceived as a controversial building. This thesis aims to describe both cases in detail, to identify their similarities and differences and to understand why subsequent reaction has differed through a comparison based on pre-defined criteria. The thesis analyses two groups of factors which influence society's reaction to the mosque construction. The first group consists of structural factors such as the nature of the surrounding area, the site of the mosque and its function; the second group includes the debate between key public and civic actors who affect the construction process and also influence society's opinion. The thesis works primarily with primary sources such as Minutes of municipal administrations'...
