French rejection of disarmament agreements was always negatively assessed by Czechoslovak diplomacy, but over the time it ceased to be an obstacle to the development of mutual relations. The evaluation of French politics towards the countries of the West was full of contradictions. France's attitude towards the United States, whose influence in Europe was France trying to limit, was positively assessed, but France's rapprochement with West Germany was viewed...

The Paris Agreement was adopted at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Paris in December 2015, and it came into force less than a year later. The agreement has received media attention in various countries, including France. Moreover, French politicians saw the Paris Agreement as a success of French diplomacy. The thesis is based on framing theory and uses the method of qualitative content analysis to find and name frames found in articles in the French regional daily Ouest-France and the national daily Le Monde, and then to compare them. The work focuses on the period of one year since the adoption of the agreement, specifically covering the period between 13 December 2015 and 13 December 2016 inclusive. The two selected newspapers contain the same seven frames (the important but insufficient agreement frame, the doom frame, the responsibility of all countries frame, the responsibility of France frame, the economic consequences frame, the intra-state conflict frame, and the inter-state conflict frame, with Ouest-France additionally containing the...
