The Impact of the "Zeitenwende" on German Foreign and Security Policy
No full textThe thesis deals with the change of German foreign and security policy after the Zeitenwende. The aim of the thesis was to determine which of the theories of international relations - realism or constructivism - prevails in the attitudes of the German government, political parties and the public. The theories were tested by means of a comparative case study on three cases: the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine and economic sanctions against Russia, Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO, and Ukraine's territorial integrity. The attitudes of the government and political parties were analysed through discourse analysis of politicians' statements, official documents and positions. Public views were examined through secondary data analysis of existing opinion polls. The findings show that while public attitudes are more dominated by realistic thinking, the attitudes of the government and political parties are more inclined towards constructivism. Despite expectations that German foreign and security policy would be more realistic after the Zeitenwende, values such as multilateralism and international law have in fact prevailed.multilateralizmus a medzinárodné právo
The clash of Western and Islamic cultures as a factor in international relations. A case study The war in Afghanista
No full textTato práce se zabývá konceptem spravedlivé války a válkou v Afghánistánu. Cílem práce je zjistit, zda válka v Afghánistánu vedená Spojenými státy americkými byla spravedlivá na základě kritérií spravedlivé války jus ad bellum. Dalším cílem práce je prozkoumat, zda Taliban vedl spravedlivou válku ve vztahu ke Spojeným státům na základě islámského výkladu kritérií spravedlivé války. Teoretická část pojednává o teorii spravedlivé války a jejích různých kritériích z hlediska mezinárodních vztahů a islámu. V případové studii jsou tato kritéria aplikována na USA a Taliban a je analyzováno jejich naplnění. Výsledkem práce je zjištění, že ani USA, ani Taliban nesplňují všechna kritéria spravedlivé války, a proto válka v Afghánistánu není spravedlivá.This thesis concerns with the concept of just war and the war in Afghanistan. The aim of the thesis is to determine whether the war in Afghanistan waged by the United States of America was just based on the criteria of just war jus ad bellum. Another objective of the thesis is to examine whether the Taliban waged a just war in relation to the United States based on the Islamic interpretation of just war criteria. The theoretical part discusses the just war theory and its various criteria from the perspective of international relations and Islam. In the case study, these criteria are applied to the US and the Taliban and their fulfilment is analysed. As a result of the thesis, it is found that neither the US nor the Taliban meet all the criteria of a just war and therefore the war in Afghanistan is not just.Tato práca sa zaoberá konceptom spravodlivej vojny a vojnou v Afganistane. Cieľom práce je na základe kritérií spravodlivej vojny jus ad bellum zistiť, či vojna v Afganistane vedená Spojenými Štátmi americkými bola spravodlivá. Ďalším cieľom práce je preskúmať, či Taliban vo vzťahu k USA viedol spravodlivú vojnu na základe islamskej interpretácie kritérií spravodlivej vojny. V teoretickej časti je rozoberaná teória spravodlivej vojny a jej jednotlivé kritéria z pohľadu medzinárodných vzťahoch a Islamu. V prípadovej štúdii sú tieto kritéria uplatnené na USA a Taliban a analyzuje sa ich naplnenie. Výsledkom práce je zistenie, že ani USA ani Taliban nespĺňajú všetky kritéria spravodlivej vojny a z toho dôvodu nie je vojna v Afganistane spravodlivá

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Vliv "Zeitenwende" na zahraniční a bezpečnostní politiku Německa

Cieľom práce bolo zistiť, ktorá z teórii medzinárodných vzťahov - realizmus alebo konštruktivizmus prevažuje v postojoch nemeckej vlády, politických strán a verejnosti. Teórie boli testované pomocou komparatívnej prípadovej štúdie na troch prípadoch: dodávanie ťažkých zbraní na Ukrajinu a ekonomické sankcie proti Rusku, vstup Ukrajiny do EÚ a NATO a územná celistvosť Ukrajiny. Postoje vlády a politických strán boli analyzované prostredníctvom diskurzívnej analýzy výrokov politikov, oficiálnych dokumentov a stanovísk. Názory verejnosti boli skúmané pomocou sekundárnej analýzy dát existujúcich prieskumov verejnej mienky. Zistenia ukazujú že kým pri verejnosti prevláda viac realistickejšie myslenie, postoje vlády a politických strán sú viac naklonené ku konštruktivizmu. Napriek očakávaniam, že nemecká zahraničná a bezpečnostná politika po Zeitenwende bude viac realistickejšia, v skutočnosti prevládli hodnoty ako multilateralizmus a medzinárodné právo.Katedra mezinárodních vztahůDepartment of International RelationsFaculty of Social SciencesFakulta sociálních vě
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
