Global Terrorism and New Media: The Case Study of the Islamic State
Fialová, Tereza ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Žáková, Gabriela (referee)
The diploma thesis Global Terrorism and New Media: The Case Study of the Islamic State examines the use of modern means of communication and technologies by global terrorists on the case of the terrorist organization Islamic State. The main hypothesis of this study is the claim that the Islamic State is using a very sophisticated communication strategy that, in combination with new technologies, allows its global scope. Through its propaganda methods, it tries not only to manipulate the audience and attract potential followers, but also demoralize and intimidate its enemies. The combination of two qualitative research methods, the case study and thematic analysis, enabled a more detailed examination of the Islamic State communication strategy and its propaganda messages in a selected data sample.

Aplikace poznatků z Rudých brigád v boji proti globálnímu terorismu
Lagazzi, Alexandr ; Eichler, Jan (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
This Bachelor thesis seeks to analyse the rise and fall of the Red Brigades within the wave of Italian political terrorism in order to suggest the application of findings onto global terrorism, while working on three hypotheses. First, the thesis implies that features of multiple phases of terrorism are present in the life-span of the Italian left-wing terrorist organization. Secondly, within the dismantling of the Red Brigades, the role of the State is regarded as substantial (combined with internal conflicts). Lastly, upon the outlined analyses, the findings are deemed to be applicable onto the phase of global terrorism. Through mapping the activities of the Red Brigades and subjecting the major attacks to an analysis through the theoretical definitions of terrorism, the author seeks to draw conclusion mainly by a synthesis of the communicative strategy, psychological impact and state reaction(s) to terrorism. Concluding, the thesis suggests some key findings, regarded as effective tools of fight against Italian terrorism, to be applied onto global terrorism.

Global Terrorism and the Media as the Means of Communication
Černikov, Dmitrij ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Karásek, Tomáš (referee)
The master thesis Global terrorism and the media as the means of communication focuses on examining the relationship between terrorist organisations and the news media which play a key role in planning terrorist attacks. The author assumes that a better understanding of the mutual relationship within the communication process requires the engagement of other players into the research as well: the government and the public. Their mutual interdependence is illustrated on the abstract model from which the author, afterwards, deduces the factors which influence relationships between all the players.
