Vrba, Ondřej ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor)
Práce se zabývá mírovými snahami veřejnosti a jejich vlivem na mezinárodní politiku. Zkoumá, jak se prosazování mírových alternativ k válce historicky vyvíjelo, jak se požadavky mírového hnutí postupně měnily a jak se v této oblasti tvořil vzájemný vztah občanů a politiků. Zasazuje protiválečné aktivity do širšího kontextu společenského vývoje a také se zabývá formou vzájemné komunikace mezi politiky a veřejností resp. protiválečným hnutím se zvláštním zaměřením na média.
