Předběžná náplň práce

Disertační práce si kladla za cíl prozkoumat šíření nestátních ozbrojených skupin v oblasti Sahelu a jejich dopad na nestabilitu státu. Pozornost byla věnována tomu, jak se nesčetné množství ozbrojených skupin operujících v Sahelu vyvinulo v kontextu vestfálské koncepce státu, která zdůrazňuje monopol na použití násilí ze strany státu. Snažila se prozkoumat tento fenomén v kontextu souboru teorií: Teorie státu, Nekontrolované prostory a Teorie nestátních ozbrojených skupin. Přístup z případové studie tvořil zastřešující výzkumnou strategii, která se soustředila na využití případů brutality ozbrojených skupin k ilustraci úrovně násilí a toho, jak to podkopává stát, který přispívá k jeho zranitelnosti.

Předběžná náplň práce v anglickém jazyce

The dissertation set out to examine the proliferation of Non-State Armed Groups in the Sahel region and their Impact on State Fragility. The focus was on how the myriad of armed groups operating in the Sahel evolved within the Context of the Westphalian conception of the state which emphasizes the monopoly over the use of violence by the state. It sought to examine this phenomenon within the context of a set of theories: State theory, Ungoverned spaces, and theory of Non-state Armed Groups. A case study approach formed the overarching research strategy which focused on using incidences of armed groups brutality to illustrate the levels of violence and how that undermines the state contributing to its fragility.
