Course overview:

The course will introduce students to the context and realities of the Czech security policy. It is specifically designed to allow students use theoretical knowledge acquired in previous study on the specific real word policy problems.

The better part of classes will comprise interactive presentation by practitioners / recent practitioners from various executive branches of the Czech security system.

Statement of academic integrity:

Students must appreciate the importance of academic integrity. Plagiarism is a serious academic offence. As this is a master level course, all students must be well-acquainted with standards of academic writing. Not understanding the essentials of academic integrity, such as how to properly cite sources is no excuse. If you are unsure of any detail please refer to plagiarism.com. Lazy practices like the unnecessary use of direct citations, or citing an entire source instead of a page range unless the source’s main argument is referenced, are unacceptable and will result in course failure. Please note that all serious cases will be referred to school’s ethical commission.
