Příběh dvou Evrop. Jak uprchlická krize znovuotevřela dichotomii "Východ" vs "Západ". / A Tale of Two Europes. How the refugee crisis reopened the dichotomies of "East" vs. "West".Wielander, Anna January 2017 (has links)
The conflict over the right way to tackle the so-called refugee crisis in Europe has proved that relations between the EU and the Visegrád Group have changed. The political dispute surfaced most clearly regarding the different proposals for a quota-based refugee relocation system - a decision which was refused by the V4. The bloc consisting of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia first articulated its common position on migration in September 2015 and several times afterwards. On the basis of these statements, one can summarise their approach as follows: (1) Protecting the external borders of the EU and underlining the importance of fulfilling the obligations for the EU acquis; (2) Effective management of the root causes of migration flows, which could help reduce the number of migrants; (3) Refusing Germany's open-door migration policy. Although an increasing number of EU member states share a similar approach, the V4 as the whole started to be perceived as a coalition known for obstructing practices. The split on the issue gave life to a new wave of speculation about the increasing split between "old" and "new" Europe and the possible shift of the later eastwards. Furious politicians and public opinion in Western Europe continued to remind the Visegrád countries of their lack of...

Across the Sea: Refugees in the Eyes of the Media : A Discourse Analysis on Western MediaMyaz, Rawab January 2023 (has links)
In February of 2022, Putin invaded Ukraine, leaving many people displaced. When the war broke out, it received widespread international condemnation and was subject to bias from state officials, news outlets and civilians. State officials reacted favorably, expressing a desire to support Ukraine and impose sanctions on Russia. The invasion brought millions of refugees seeking safety from the conflict to EU member states, resulting in neighbouring countries admitting every single Ukrainian that reaches their territory. Revealing western media's true colors. This thesis employs a Discourse Analysis to examine western media's bigotry language and portrayal towards non-Ukrainians while covering the Ukrainian conflict. Poststructuralism theory will be applied to comprehend the media’s racial undertones in its depiction of the conflict. I argue the prevalent western hypocrisy in media coverage. The findings of the thesis reveal the existence of biased and racist rhetoric language used by western media.

Moderní teorie vědomí a nezachytitelnost subjektivity / Modern Theories of Consciousness and the Elusiveness of SubjectivityKošová, Michaela January 2014 (has links)
This diploma thesis is concerned with the question of the right conceptual approach towards consciousness. It opens up with the thesis that the crucial characteristic of consciousness - its subjective aspect - is profoundly elusive. To understand the nature of this elusiveness we get a loose inspiration from Karl Jaspers (of the continental tradition) and his idea of "subject-object dichotomy" whose main point is a realisation that the conscious subject is in principle unobjectifiable and can never be properly grasped by objectifying thinking. This main idea is then applied to various modern theories of consciousness (coming from the analytical tradition) in order to explore and demonstrate to what extend each of the theories misses or acknowledges the specific irreducibility of consciousness to objectively describable phenomena. Thus we observe that J. J. C. Smart omits subjectivity from his identity theory altogether since he understands reality as objectively graspable in all its aspects. Colin McGinn comes with an interesting explanation of our problems with grasping consciousness as part of the physical world and asserts that we are "cognitively closed" with respect to the solution of the mind-body problem. However, he concludes that a possible solution delivered in objectifying terms exists...

Previous issue date: 2013-06-24 / The theme of corruption entered the international agenda and started to integrate the academic
field of international relations recently, more precisely since the 1970s when the United States
passed the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA), a law with extraterritorial dimensions that
criminalized the payment of bribery to foreign public officials. Ever since, states were
pressured by the American superpower to create international instruments to curb corruption
along the lines of the FCPA. However, the anticorruption began being constructed in the mid-
1990s, almost twenty years after the FCPA. Currently, there are conventions and
recommendations in several international organizations, but, because of American and other
powerful nations interests, the regime faces standardizing difficulties, as well as problems in
its evolution due to a conflicting principal dichotomy within the regime. On one side is the
antibribery principal, represented mainly by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in
International Business Transactions, and on the other side is the anticorruption principal,
represented mainly by the United Nations Convention against Corruption. The interests of the
developed states have been reached with the consolidation of the antibribery principal within
the OECD. This is one of the reasons why negotiations on treaties and conventions with a
broader scope on corruption have been hampered by these states, hindering the establishment
of the anticorruption principle. The objective of this study is to analyze the existence of this
conflicting dichotomy of principals through a comparative between the OECD and the UN
conventions and their monitoring systems. Therefore, a cost-benefit analysis of corruption on
domestic and international relations and an examination of the history of curbing corruption in
the international system will be conducted in order to better comprehend the interests and
consequences of corruption in the international relations. In the end, it is pointed out the
necessity of building a broader anticorruption regime, not just a regime based on the
antibribery principle. / O tema corrupção entrou na agenda internacional e passou a integrar o campo acadêmico das
relações internacionais recentemente, precisamente desde a década de 1970, quando os
Estados Unidos criaram a lei de dimensões extraterritoriais que previa a criminalização do
pagamento de propina a funcionários públicos estrangeiros, a Lei Contra Práticas Corruptas
Estrangeiras (FCPA). A partir de então, os Estados se viram pressionados pela potência a criar
mecanismos internacionais nos moldes da FCPA. O regime anticorrupção começou a ser
construído de fato em meados da década de 1990, com convenções e recomendações em
diversas organizações internacionais. Entretanto, devido aos interesses dos EUA e das
potências, o regime enfrenta dificuldades em se uniformizar e em continuar evoluindo por
conta de uma dicotomia de princípios conflitantes dentre do próprio regime. De um lado,
como maior representante a Convenção das Organizações para a Cooperação e o
Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE) Contra o Pagamento de Propina a Funcionários
Estrangeiros, encontra-se o princípio antipropina que atendem aos interesses das potências, e
do outro lado, representado pela Convenção das Nações Unidas Contra a Corrupção, está o
princípio anticorrupção. Os interesses dos Estados desenvolvidos já foram alcançados com o
estabelecimento do princípio antipropina, e, por isso, esses dificultam a negociação e o
estabelecimento do princípio anticorrupção e, consequentemente, na própria Convenção da
ONU. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a existência dessa dicotomia de princípios, fazendo
um comparativo entre a convenção da OCDE e da ONU e os seus sistemas de monitoramento.
Para tanto, será feita uma análise dos custos e benefícios da corrupção nas relações
domésticas e internacionais, assim como um histórico do combate à corrupção, para
compreender melhor os interesses e as consequências da prática ao sistema internacional e a
necessidade de se continuar construindo um regime internacional anticorrupção mais
abrangente.

Kamp om rummet : En studie av heteronormativitet i Svenska kyrkan / Struggle about the room : A study of heteronormativity within the Swedish churchLindström, Susanne January 2005 (has links)
<p>This thesis deals with questions concerning ongoing constructions of heterosexuality as a norm in the Swedish church. Empirically the study is based partly on interviews with thirteen homo- and bisexual priests, one district visitor and one church politician and partly on some of the church’s own inquiries and documents concerning the question of Christianity and ”deviant” sexuality.</p><p>The aim for this study is to examine how norms for sexuality, coexistence and gender are repeated in the documents created by the Swedish church itself about homosexuality and Christianity and to discern how these norms are present and have sense – are reproduced, challenged and transformed in life stories of Christian homo- and bisexual individuals. To be able to see how the notion of homosexuality as abnormal is reproduced, secured and challenged I have chosen to interpret texts, observations and life stories from a critical discourse perspective. In this theoretical tradition it is central to stress how, or rather to investigate what strategies are used to produce and maintain notions of ”abnormality”.</p><p>One dominating view in the discussions within the church is that homosexuals and heterosexuals have equal value but that partnership cannot be equated with marriage. This understanding is expressed in my examples of formations of heteronormativity within the church.</p><p>In the interview persons’ narratives there are discourses represented that are articulated in the church’s own inquiries but the narratives also express counter discourses. They speak about themselves in relation to, for example, imperative heterosexuality, homosexual ideals, core family ideals, theological way of thinking and dichotomizing understanding of gender. I have identified several ”uses” in the narratives and all of them are contained in an overall Christian homosexual ”us”.</p><p>Instead of viewing themselves as being ”wrong” some of the interview persons have moved the problem to the heteronormativity. Experiences of not being part of the norm have made them strong and willing to struggle and fight for their rights. This position, outside the norm, is by some viewed positively. The homosexuals’ experiences of oppression have led to a desire to liberate the church from homophobia and show ”the true” church, where no one is discriminated.</p><p>Homosexuals are accepted within the church, but only as deviants. This way heterosexuality is being made the superior category. Its meaning and superior position cannot be questioned according to many of the church’s representatives. Still, this is exactly what is happening when homosexuals are increasingly visible to the public and when they challenge the heterosexual norm. This provocation makes the heterosexual norm visible and forces representatives of the norm to deal with it!</p>
