Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the fundamental changes in this field that occurred following the end of the bipolar world order and the Czech Republic's accession to NATO and the EU. It seeks to highlight the evolving concepts of national, international, and human security; to outline the principles and measures of a democratic state's security policy and the role of public administration in its implementation; and to provide students with an understanding of crisis management as applied by state administration.
After successful completion of the course, students will be able to perform security analysis and evaluate security threats at the international, national, regional and municipal levels. Students will be able to navigate the state's security system, recognize connections and relationships between individual components, and interpret and apply the acquired knowledge.
