Předběžná náplň práce

Cílem diplomové práce je přispět ke konstruktivistickému výzkumu kontestace norem, a to jak v obecné, tak v konkrétní rovině chemických zbraní. Úmluva o chemických zbraních teoreticky nepokrývá užití neletálních zbraní (látky na potlačování nepokojů a paralyzující látky), v nedávné době jsou ale předmětem debaty v souvislosti s aplikací normy proti použití chemických zbraní. Diplomová práce aplikuje konstruktivistickou perspektivu na kontestaci norem s cílem studovat vzorce normativních změn v souvislosti s použitím těchto neletálních látek.

Předběžná náplň práce v anglickém jazyce

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the contemporary constructivist research on the contested meanings of international norms in general and the norm concerning chemical weapons in particular. The use of non-lethal agents – riot control and incapacitating chemical agents – by law enforcement is not explicitly covered by the Chemical Weapons Convention. Nevertheless, it has recently been subject to debate on whether the international norm against chemical weapons use is – or should be – applicable in these cases. The thesis employs a constructivist perspective on normative contestation to study the patterns of normative change in relation to the employment of these non-lethal agents.
