Doc. JUDr. PhDr. Miroslav Mareš, Ph.D.

Vojenské rozhledy / Czech Military Review Nr. 4/2013, Vol. XXII. (LIV.): 132-142

The article deals with particularly topical problem, the riots with ethnic background. The present situation is compared with history illustrations and with similar recent events abroad. Author's reflections and scenarios outline a variant of state failure and its institutions, with the exception of army. He identifies respective incoming risks, among others tied with the so-called Roma question. Actually, his hypothetical solutions are not backed by the current laws of the Czech Republic. The author comes to the conclusion that army deployment might be used only as an instrument of last resort, "ultima ratio".
