Dynamics of Terror on the Local Level of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in Late Stalinism
Lóži, Marián ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Blaive, Muriel (referee)
Diploma thesis is aspiring to cover and interpret processes, which in the period of culminating Stalinism determined course and results of intraparty terror in the local - mainly regional and departmental - organizations of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. It is thoroughly addressing the state of affairs on the lower levels of the party organism. It is monitoring not only techniques of functioning or on the contrary dysfunction of hierarchic machinery, but also various interests of given individuals or even whole groups emerging in the party. Under the label of intraparty terror it then comprises dictatorial practice of leading officials which established itself on the local level as well as fight against it headed be lower functionaries and active party members. Both actualities are not interpreted from the outside by some general causes, but as autonomous phenomenons with their own preconditions and dynamics, more or less different in every region. Resulting scenarios consequently demonstrated considerable variety. Finally great scope is dedicated to the Stalinist ideology, which is not percepted as a constricted doctrine creating loyal subjects, but as a complex discourse providing party members with language in which they can act and pursue their goals. It endowed necessary instruments...

Kritická analýza 'teroristického přívlastku'
Zich, Tomáš ; Druláková, Radka (advisor) ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (referee)
The terrorist label became recently so widely used. It strongly influenced the language of media, politicians and society. The security discourse is seemingly dominated by the counter-terrorism policy. Both the national and international legal systems introduced laws to avert the terrorist actions. Ironically, no universal definition of terrorism has been found yet so the use of the terrorist label depends mainly on own interpretation. The thesis aims to critically analyse the terrorist label and to determine if it prevents the conflict between so called terrorists and the rest of the society from peaceful resolution. The first chapter introduces theoretical and methodological framework of the research. It is followed by the analysis of the EU's designation of Hezbollah's military wing as a terrorist organization in the second chapter. A special attention is paid to the Israeli diplomatic pressure on the EU to blacklist Hezbollah which was selected as an appropriate example of the terrorist labelling.

Improvised explosive devices and their threat for the population
MAIRYCH, Michal
Improvised explosive device (IED), for many a meaningless set of three words, but for professionals who deal with this issue it is a concept related to absolute threat and a significant danger that is not only an emergency situation but also a global problem. IED is a weapon that has become a sheer standard and the most frequently used lethal means in most armed conflicts and wars of drug cartels. However, people do not realize these systems are the destructive agents that destroy houses, tear cars apart and kill people in terrorist attacks. Maybe some people are not familiar with the name - IED, but I am sure that they know the title - which is used by the media. They call it bombings. As I mentioned before, the IED is the biggest killer in today's wars, where the debit attributed not only hundreds or thousands of the dead, wounded and maimed soldiers of the coalition forces but also the bringer of death for dozens of thousands of innocent civilian casualties. IEDs are not only a phenomenon associated with armed conflicts, wars, drug cartels, guerrilla insurgents practices at various locations around the world and a way of terrorist violence, but also means exploited by individuals or groups to commit crime. In the Czech Republic, we can come across with other nomenclature where the professional literature for training of the police bomb squad of the Czech Republic mentions explosive booby traps (hereinafter NVS), and after a few years yet another term appears - an improvised explosive device (hereinafter IVP). In this thesis, however, for the purpose of familiarization with international terminology I will use international names, terms, abbreviations and translations. At the beginning of this thesis, I will briefly deal with the term of IEDs, what they present and what kind of forces should deal with them in the Czech Republic and dismantle them at our homeland or abroad. Furthermore, I present what the subject of this research is. In the theoretical part, I try to draw the reader into a bit of history and to highlight some of the time periods, facts and information that provide a better view and easier understanding of some topics related to the IED. And in a nutshell, I introduce some terrorist and insurgent groups and their way they have been using IEDs in their fight, why and what this usage has brought. Later in this chapter, I mention the basic concepts and their explanations that appear in the thesis. For better understanding I introduce the construction of IED. I describe various basic components of these systems (switch, initiator, power source, main charge, container and enhancement), their categories, types, their description, what they are for, what are the advantages or disadvantages and what kind of IED types they are associated with. In the last section of this chapter I describe specific types of IEDs, I mention their representatives and I describe in detail those that currently pose the greatest threat. I also present categories and types of IED incidents, which the EOD Service of the Police of the Czech Republic (hereinafter PS PČR) and EOD units in the Army of the Czech Republic (hereinafter EOD AČR) have been dealing with.

The progress of terrorism with the specialization in conventional terrorism

The main reason for comiting terrorism are etnic, religious, political and ekonomical problemes in the society. We used to call as ideological terrorism. Terrorism has changed after the Cold War ended in 1990. The ideological one became less common but we can find it for example in Cuba, KLDR, than the terms as religious and national terrorism apeared. We can find it all around the world, especially Irak, Afganistan and namy others. After the tragical events in the USA terrorism became an international problem. We can see that the terroristic attacks became more often since the year 2001. Whit developing new waepons terrorism is every day more dangerous Terrorism is an international problem and we have to cooperate against it. Many states and organizations as OSN or NATO create antiterrorist formation. The Czech republic also takes part in this fight agains violence and cruelty. There are two big antiterrorist formation in the Czech republic. Police formation URNA and army formation SOG. There are for example GSG-9 in Germany, Alfa in Russian, Delta in USA or SAS in Great Britain in the world. Its main assigments are prevention and suppression of terrorists activites. There are many kinds of terrorism in the world. The main are International terrorism, Criminal terrorism, Conventional terrorism, Superterrorism, Elektronic terrorism or Nuclear one.
