Strategic Planning of the industry-political Business Development of Rheinmetall in the European Union
Bendik, Andreas ; Kopečný, Tomáš (vedoucí práce) ; Landovský, Jakub (oponent)
The introduction of the dual comitology system with the European defence funding programmes has led to the emergence of a new form of European interest representation. This intra-European interest representation is no longer concerned with the conventional representation of interests in European policy processes, but with the formation of alliances with Member States for defence industrial cooperation. This emergence precedes a 40-year-long push-pull process between the European Commission and the European Council in the context of a conflict between liberalisation and protection of the internal defence market. In order to prevent Member States from extensive application of Article 346 (TFEU) and thus to prevent further fragmentation of the European defence industrial base, the European Commission has innovated the political room for manoeuvre it was given by the Treaties to create a Europeanised version of Article 346 in the Public Procurement Directive 2009/81/EC.

NATO and Offensive Cybersecurity: A Strategic Analysis
Lopes Carvalho Viana, André ; Střítecký, Vít (vedoucí práce) ; Csernatoni, Raluca (oponent)
This thesis presents a strategic analysis on the possibility of use of offensive cyber capabilities by NATO in its defensive efforts. There is a vast array of academic literature regarding the strategic value of the use of offensive capabilities in cybersecurity, and NATO's cyber posture, however, there is little available regarding the relationship between both. Through the use of tools borrowed from Strategic Studies, this thesis attempts to determine whether it is possible to formulate valid cybersecurity strategies for the use of offensive cyber capabilities from the combination of known academic concepts with current NATO capabilities. The thesis also analyzes the possible implications of using such strategies as well as the underlying causes of their potential success or failure. Viana, André Lopes C.
