Islámsko-evropské kulturní rozdíly a jejich dopad na bezpečnostní vztahy v Evropě. Případová studie Francie a Švédska

The bachelor's thesis examines the analysis of cultural differences between Islamic and Western European cultures and their impact on the security situation in Europe. The aim of the thesis is to identify key value differences, particularly in the areas of freedom of expression and religious sensitivity. Furthermore, it seeks to explain how these differences contribute to the escalation of security conflicts. The theoretical framework is primarily based on Samuel P. Huntington's concept of the clash of civilizations, as well as on approaches to cultural diversity. Methodologically, the thesis is grounded in qualitative comparative case study France and Sweden. It employs qualitative content analysis of media outputs and academic articles, along with the application of Mill's method of agreement. The empirical part analyzes specific events, namely the attack on the Charlie Hebdo editorial office in France and the Quaran-burning incident in Sweden. The findings show that despite different political frameworks in both countries, cultural incompatibility leads to similar security outcomes. The thesis highlights the importance of cultural differences in the formation of conflicts.
