Vojtuš, Michal ; Anděl, Petr (advisor) ; Smetana, Vít (referee)
Socioeconomic consequences of Japanese American internment in the United States during World War II Abstract This bachelor thesis describes the consequences of wartime internment of Japanese Americans in the USA. It is concerned with short- and long-term socioeconomic effects of the incarceration. The first part of the thesis introduces Japanese immigration to the United States and the struggle of the pacific states to reduce it. The next chapter informs the reader about the internment itself, including its causes, process and the reasons of its termination. The third part is concerned with the socioeconomic status of the community between the two world wars. The main focus of the chapter is to tell why Japanese Americans chose agriculture and small farming over other professional fields. The socioeconomic consequences of the internment are analyzed in the main chapter. The study reflects the short- and long-term effect of incarceration on Japanese Americans. The conclusion overviews the findings of the thesis and also provides a quick summary of the redress movement which achieved a formal apology and financial compensation to the survivors of the internment. The main focus of the work is to analyze the post-internment shift from agricultural occupations to other fields, to review the economic losses and...

The Comparison of the U.S. Security Policy Measures in Relation to the DPRK's Nuclear Program Adopted by the Administrations of Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama
Vítková, Kateřina ; Sehnálková, Jana (advisor) ; Anděl, Petr (referee)
The Comparison of the U.S. Security Policy Measures in Relation to the DPRK's Nuclear Program Adopted by the Administrations of Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama monitors the responses of Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and their Administrations to the North Korean nuclear tests carried out in 2006, 2009 and 2013. It seeks to identify similarities and differences between these Administrations and prove the thesis that the steps taken by the United States under Barack Obama were in effect just as inefficient as those taken by his predecessor. The paper concentrates on the time period beginning with the situation before the first North Korea's nuclear test until the autumn 2014. The methodology includes a qualitative approach and comparison. The reactions are divided into several groups: rhetoric, strategic documents, legislation, economic aspects etc. In conclusion it notes that while the attitude of both Presidents and their Administrations was in certain aspects similar, number of factors that distinguish them might be indentified as well. Barack Obama focused more on the region of Asia. His attitude towards the DPRK appeared to be more balanced but it still did not lead to the coveted breakthrough in the negotiations.

African Americans in Atlanta
Kubeš, Filip ; Anděl, Petr (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
Atlanta, Georgia is labeled as Black Mecca of the United States of America since the 1970s. The term "Black Mecca" describes a city which attracts African Americans in big numbers. These people seek better living conditions and especially job opportunities. This fact is quite surprising, because Atlanta belongs to a region of Deep South, where the conditions of African Americans were harsher than in other parts of the country for a very long time besides other things because of "Jim Crow" segregation laws. This work should present which factors are responsible for the fact that a southern city such as Atlanta became a sought-after center of African American immigration and how these factors were reached. Atlanta became Black Mecca, because it achieved several goals. African Americans politically control the city, Atlanta offers superior job opportunities, high quality educational institutions are located within the city and the relations between white and black people are quite harmonic. These points were achieved besides other things thanks to the people that lived in the city including influential figures such as William Hartsfield, Ivan Allen, Robert Woodruff, Maynard Jackson, Andrew Young and many more.

The Role of the Military in the United States Foreign Policy Process
Paták, Jiří ; Raška, Francis (advisor) ; Anděl, Petr (referee)
The aim of this thesis is the Role of the Military in the United States Foreign Policy Process. In the midst of the American military engagement in Iraq, Afghanistan and the escalating crisis with the Iranian regime, arguments are often raised that the Military has acquired too much power over the U.S. foreign policy. More than 100.000 troops on the ground and the mounting casualties in the war on terror frequently give the outside spectators a feeling that the foreign policy is only about the armed forces and furthermore, that the Military has a free hand in most important issues.

The Approach of the First and Second Obama Administration to Israel: A Comparison Between 2009 and 2014
Čurdová, Markéta ; Bečka, Jan (advisor) ; Anděl, Petr (referee)
This thesis aims to compare the approach of the first and second Obama admi- nistrations to Israel between years 2009 and 2014. It analyzes American foreign policy with respect to Israel through several criteria including the process of conflict resolution, Obama's rhetoric and number of visits into the region made by secretaries of state. The work also observes what effect the Arab spring and the Iranian nuclear program had on American policy towards Israel. By comparing these criteria the author identifies the main differences in the ap- proach to Israel. The thesis verifies the hypothesis that the first Obama admi- nistration accepted pro-Palestinian approach with regard to resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and that it was willing to act more independently on Israel with regard to geopolitical development in the region. The thesis an- swers four questions. How did the approach of the two Obama administrations to Israel-Palestinian conflict change? How did the geopolitical events in the re- gion affect the approach to Israel? Is it possible to observe an exertion of higher pressure on Tel Aviv to make compromises? Does the American perspective of Israel as an ally change in the long run?

The American Foreign Policy towards Cuba between 1959 and 1963: Causes, Manifestations and Consequences
Chocholová, Anna ; Anděl, Petr (advisor) ; Mikulík, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the American foreign policy towards Cuba in the period between the Cuban Revolution and the death of the U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963. It aims to answer the question why did the United States choose an aggressive policy towards the new Cuban regime, what were the results of their strategy, whether a more accommodating attitude would have potentially represented a better solution, and whether considering the circumstances the U.S. could have adopted such an attitude. It analyzes individual events and aspects of this period, led by the Bay of Pigs invasion, in order to find out how much influence did the United States have on Fidel Castro's turn to Communism and the Soviet Union, and whether they were partly responsible for triggering the Cuban missile crisis. The author comes to the conclusion that the American foreign policy towards Cuba between 1959 and 1963 was ill-chosen, because it was not only unable to obtain its main goal of overthrowing Fidel Castro, but also forced the Cuban regime to radicalise and closely cooperate with the Soviet Union. At the same time, she argues that the enforcement and implementation of a more accommodating policy, which probably would have in the end benefited both countries, represented a very difficult task for the U.S....
