Remember the Bombs: Memory of the Belgrade Bombings from the Second World War from 1995 until 2003Puškarov, Katarina January 2015 (has links)
This study explores the usage of the memory of the bombings of Belgrade from WWII in the time period of Yugoslavia from 1995 until 2003. Considering that Belgrade was bombed by two opposing forces during WWII, once by Nazis in 1941, and the second time by the Allies in 1944, and due to the fact that the exploitation of memory of the two bombings was rather unequal during the Socialist Yugoslavia with the latter bombings being a taboo theme, I was interested in answering following questions: how the two memories were used in the times before, during and after the NATO Air Strikes of Yugoslavia, if the memory of the Allied bombings emerged in the public sphere and how it coexists with the one of the Nazi bombings. My primary sources are articles from "Politika" newspaper issues from commemoration dates during the research time frame from 1995 until 2003. The final conclusion shows the dominant usage of the memory of the Nazi bombings throughout the whole time frame even though we could witness the emergence of the memory of the Allied bombings.

Koncept mučednictví v islámu a jeho (re)interpretace v moderních islamistických hnutích / The Concept of Martyrdom in Islam and Its (Re)interpretations in Current Islamic MovementsKolářová, Michaela January 2013 (has links)
The main focus of the thesis is the concept of jihad and martyrdom in Islam. It seeks to present these religious ideas from very diverse perspectives and argues that seemingly discontinuous dimensions are all parts of the nature of the phenomenon. In the world of Islam, religion is an omnipresent aspect of a public life. Hence, the historical experience, culture, socio-economics, and politics, they all manifest in religious narratives. Martyrdom embodies these complexities as well. Historically and culturally, martyrdom has been perceived as an expression of utmost activism in the struggle of a believer for the betterment of the Islamic society. Leading a responsible and truthful life sometimes demands the ultimate sacrifice of one's life for the cause. This worldly responsibility for the well-being of the Islamic umma is one dimension of complex dynamics of the Islamist movements like the Palestinian Hamas. For them, martyrdom is only one moment, the climax, which requires leading the whole life as a responsible believer in the first place. In this sense, martyrdom is a celebration of a meaningful life rather than death. This commitment of Hamas to the community, its radical understanding of the politics of the struggle, along with the particular socio-economic, and political situation in...

CRISIS MANAGEMENT: A CASE STUDY OF THE INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT TOURISM PUBLIC POLICY AFTER THE FIRST AND SECOND BALI BOMBINGSANDARI, WIPSAR ASWI DINA TRI, n/a January 2007 (has links)
This research discusses the tourism crisis management approach used in handling the recovery of
Bali as a tourism destination after the first Bali bombings in 2002 and second Bali bombings in
2005. It acknowledges the importance of a crisis management especially in a situation where the
crisis repeatedly occurs in the same place and targeted the similar target. This research examines
the crisis management approach through the tourism public policy formulated and implemented
by the government of Indonesia. An external perspective from the industry private sector is also
investigated as many scholars note that other observations and opinion from senior executives
following every episode are necessary because they have different perceptions of the crises.
Finally, an investigation of any existence of organisational learning the first and second Bali
bombings is also presented. This research concludes in three new findings. First, the Indonesian
government did not present any crisis management framework after the first and second Bali
Bombings; rather they established a National Recovery Program that lacks few main aspects of
crisis management. Second, although the Indonesian government initiated the recovery program
after the first Bali Bombings it was the private sector (Bali Tourism Board) who initially
instigated the recovery program after the second Bali Bombings. Third, the absence of an
organisational learning was also discovered after the first and second Bali Bombings incidents

Uyar, Elif Sabahat 01 July 2007 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis analyzes the Turkish press coverage of the bombings in Istanbul on November 15 and 20, 2003. The general tendencies of the Turkish press in presenting the events are analyzed and comparisons between the coverage by a number of selected Turkish dailies that are known to be affiliated with different political views are made. The specific presentations of the Istanbul bombings by different dailies is analyzed in the context of the political debates in Turkey as these are reflected by papers of varying political views. Moreover, the analysis of the press was used to interpret Turkish politics on such issues as anti-Americanism, attitudes towards the AKP government and Islamism with reference to the specific positioning of the different political camps in Turkey, on the issue of the November 2003 Istanbul bombings.

An analysis of the incident management system and domestic terrorism incidentsReeder, Andrew Ernest January 1999 (has links)
This project focuses on the Incident Management System (IMS) and how it was used to manage the Oklahoma City, World Trade Center, and Lafayette, IN terrorism incidents. The Incident Management System is used by emergency response agencies to manage the scene of a disaster and consists of eight management components which are: Modular Organization, Integrated Communications, Common Terminology, Unified Command Structure, Consolidated Action Plans, Manageable Span of Control, Designated Incident Facilities, and Comprehensive Resource Management. Through journal articles and interviews, this project assesses observations that occurred during the response phase of each terrorism incident. These observations are then categorized under each of the IMS components to determine whether unique, or more complex procedures occurred with terrorism, as compared to other types of emergency disasters. This study further explores why the IMS is important to communities, and why a community's comprehensive plan should include goals and risk management studies that affect a community's ability to effectively respond to a terrorism incident. / Department of Urban Planning
