British imperial experience in conflict management in Northern Ireland
Pavliňáková, Dominika ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
Bachalor's thesis 'British imperial experience in conflict management in Northern Ireland' discusses British army deployment to Northern Ireland's Troubles between 1969 and 1998. Thesis observes the use of classical British army counterinsurgency doctrine, which was formed in 1960s in the withdrawal from Empire (doctrine was massively influenced by successful COIN campaign in Malaya 1948-1960). Based on application of particular aspects of the doctrine (namely clear political aim, hearts and minds and civil-military coordination) this thesis describes to which extend army relied on this classical doctrine and to which extend was the doctrine modified and how new tactics and strategies were developed for the specific environment of Northern Ireland. Analysis of British army actions points out that army was strongly leaning towards the classical doctrine during initial years of deployment (1969-1972) lacking intelligence of its environment and made several mistakes because of its inability to reflect specific conditions of the conflict. In upcoming years, especially after direct rule of London was imposed in 1972 and the introduction of police primacy, army focused on intelligence gathering and fighting terrorism and was able to adapt to specific conditions and challenges rather well.

Bálint, Miroslav ; Hornát, Jan (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee) ; Fojtek, Vít (referee)
The American war in Vietnam was one of the Cold war conflict and United States had entered this war within their policy of communist detained. United States had supported France first. Later, they took political and military responsibility themselves. Despite many recommendations, US Military Command had chosen conventional way of fighting, which was based on large scale strikes against enemy to undermine his will. This strategy reflected US history of war success and technological superiority. But the main difference was theatre of conflict itself. The enemy was fighting guerrilla way and avoided large scale struggles. The only solution was to the application of counterinsurgency strategy, which was focused on winning "Hearts and minds" of Vietnamese population. Its development occurred in everyday fighting experience and combat troops had started to apply it successfully in many Vietnam areas. Unfortunately, American army wasn't able to apply this successful model across the board and insisted on conventional way of pacification till the end of the Vietnam war.

KOSTKOVÁ, Klára
In my Bachelor work The treasure of Týn nad Vltavou from the time at the turn of Middle Age and Modern Age I study a little-known treasure from Týn nad Vltavou, which was found in 1970 during the reconstruction house "U Modré hvězdy" in square south Bohemia city Týn nad Vltavou. I describe history of Týn nad Vltavou and house, which was treasure found. Attention is also devoted to the period of Czech history, which could have an influence on the formation of the treasure. In short, I mention about personal jewellery, which originated at the same time as a treasure. Finally, I present the similar findings of the same kind.
