Comparison of national strategic documents
No full textRad se bavi komparativnom analizom nacionalnih strateških dokumenata Republike Hrvatske,
Republike Francuske i Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva. Kroz rad su prikazani glavni strateški
dokumenti država te je svaki od njih opisan. Prikazan je način na koji pojedine države
„promišljaju obranu“ te kako i u kojim vremenskim okvirima izrađuju strateške dokumente.
Strategija ima svoju ulogu u samom sustavu planiranja te postupno dobiva sve veću važnost u
odnosu na tradicionalni pristup te je zbog toga vrlo bitno definirati njenu svrhu i namjenu. Ideja
se rada zasniva na usporedbi obrambenih strateških dokumenata navedenih država, te je osnovni
cilj rada kroz analizu stranih dokumenata ukazati na mane hrvatskog sustava obrambenog
planiranja te dati prijedloge za poboljšanje.The paper deals with the comparative analysis of the national strategic documents of the
Republic of Croatia, France and the United Kingdom. The paper presents the main strategic
documents of the states and describes each of them. The way in which individual countries
"think about defence" and how and in which time frames they prepare strategic documents is
shown. The strategy has its role in the planning system itself and is gradually gaining more and
more importance compared to the traditional approach, which is why it is very important to
define its purpose. The idea of the work is based on a comparison of the defence strategic
documents of the mentioned countries, and the main goal of the work is to point out the
shortcomings of the Croatian defence planning system through the analysis of foreign documents
and to make suggestions for improvement

dokumenata. Svrha ovog rada jest povezati i prepoznati stratešku viziju (i koncept) s
obavještajnim djelovanjem. Prikupljanje odgovarajućih obavještajnih podataka služi kao podloga
za izradu analiza i sigurnosnih strateških procjena. Obavještajno djelovanje nužna je konstanta u
prilagodbi razvoju događaja, odnosno ažuriranje informacija o mogućim promjenama u
okruženju, koje se analiziraju i koje mogu imati odgovarajući utjecaj na izradu Strategije
nacionalne sigurnosti. U radu će se pokušati dokazati da su za kvalitetnu izradu strategije nužne
dobre sigurnosne i obavještajne procjene, ali i da je obavještajna analitika jedan od ključnih alata
u izradi strateških dokumenata, kao što je Strategija nacionalne sigurnosti.The basis of this Master’s thesis is the role of security analysis as the foundation to creation of
the strategic documentation. The purpose of this thesis is to identify and correlate the strategic
vision (and concept) with intelligence. Gathering suitable intelligence data serves as the basis for
synthesizing strategic security assessments. Intelligence is the necessary enabler to be able to
adapt to a changing situation and as such it is essential for the development of the National
Security Strategy. With this thesis the author will try to prove that for the creation of a suitable
National Security Strategy proper intelligence assessments are required and also that intelligence
analytics is one of the key tools in the development of various strategic documents

njihovih motiva i metoda kojima se koriste za ostvarenje interesa. Polja suradnji i točke prijepora
pokazat će kakvu vrstu moći preferiraju, kako intrinzično, tako i pod prisilom okolnosti. Pokušat
će se objasniti kako dva svjetska giganta ne samo koegzistiraju, već i vrlo uspješno surađuju.
Naposljetku, iz navedenog će se pokušati predvidjeti razvoj prirode njihova budućeg
međusobnog odnosa.The subject of this bachelor thesis is the relation of two major global forces, China and Russia,
their influence, as well as the influence of their relationship on the global security. An overwiev
and an analysis of major historical events which impacted the development of their relations will
try to identify bihevioral patterns with the purpose of understanding their motives and methods
used to realize their interests. Spheres of cooperation and points of contempt will show what type
of power they prefer, both intrinsically and under the force of circumstances. An attempt will be
made at explaining how two world's giants not only coexist, but cooperate rather succesfully.
Lastly, an attemped prediction will be given on the development of the nature of their future
relation

Comparison of chemical weapons and delivery means before and after the industrial revolution
No full textUporaba kemijskog oružja sastavni je dio ljudske povijesti, a samim time i rata. Kemijsko oružje
kroz povijest je napredovalo s ciljem da onesposobi i ubije što veći broj neprijatelja. Uporaba
kemijskog oružja oduvijek se smatrala neetičnom, a danas je uporaba zabranjena na globalnoj
razini.
U ovom je radu opisan razvoj kemijskog oružja i sredstava za prijenos s naglaskom na razlike
nastale pojavom industrijske revolucije. Prije industrijske revolucije čovjek je koristio prirodne
toksine i jednostavna sredstva za prijenos poput luka i strijele za lov na životinje, trovanje i
ubojstva vojnih, političkih ili obiteljskih neprijatelja.
Pojavom industrijske revolucije dolazi do velikih otkrića na polju kemije, a neka od saznanja
zlouporabit će se za vojne svrhe. U laboratorijima nastaju bojni otrovi koji se mogu koristiti u
velikim količinama na bojištima uz malu cijenu proizvodnje.
Danas se svijet usuglasio da je uporaba kemijskog oružja neetična, ali prijetnju predstavljaju
potencijalni bojni otrovi i njihovi prekursori koji nisu zabranjeni Konvencijom o kemijskom
oružju.The use of chemical weapons is an integral part of human history, and therefore of war.
Throughout history, chemical weapons have been developed with the aim of incapacitating and
killing as many enemies as possible. The use of chemical weapons has always been considered
unethical, and today their use is banned globally.
This paper describes the development of chemical weapons and means of delivery with an
emphasis on the differences created by the industrial revolution. Before the industrial revolution,
man used natural toxins and simple means of transportation such as the bow and arrow to hunt
animals, poison and kill military, political or family enemies.
With the arrival of the industrial revolution, great discoveries are made in the chemical industry,
and some of the scientific discoveries will be misused for military purposes. Chemical warfare
agents are created in laboratories and can be used in large quantities on battlefields at a low cost
of production.
Chemical weapons are prohibited globally, but the threat comes from potential chemical warfare
agents and theire precursors, which are not covered by the Chemical Weapons Convention
