J. Chirac and the French politics of multilateralism: content analysis of presidential discourse (1995-2007)
Koptišová, Evelína ; Tomalová, Eliška (advisor) ; Emler, David (referee)
Jacques Chirac is one of the most prominent French politicians emphasizing the multilateral agenda in international relations. However, the French multilateralism is specific in a way it opposes unilateralism and especially the "Americanisation" of the world politics - a phenomenon that is seen as a core of globalisation from the French point of view. This thesis focuses on the content analysis of Chirac's speeches concerning multilateralism between the years 1995-2007, and it aims to demonstrate that some of the geopolitical issues - particularly the Iraq War in 2003 - influenced Chirac's attitude and confirmed him in his multilateral agenda. This paper works with the methods of content analysis in order to compare individual speeches and to observe Chirac's developing stance. First chapter is dedicated to the historical and political context and to the role of the president in French politics. Second and the most important part then presents selected Chirac's presidential speeches in a chronological order and focuses on the content analysis of their transcripts. The primary objective is to find out how has Chirac's attitude towards multilateralism changed and how it was influenced by geopolitical issues, such as the Iraq War. Furthermore, this work also studies how has Chirac's multilateral...

Framing of the EU Mali mission
Koptišová, Evelína ; Kaleta, Ondřej (advisor) ; Miessler, Jan (referee)
This paper examines how the Czech press reported on EUTM in Mali in 2012-2018, how it was reported by responsible political institutions and how the communicated content differed. In both cases, the predominance of episodic framing was confirmed. Concerning the generic frames, conflict and responsibility frames prevailed. While there have been some characteristics of peace journalism in the press, it is not enough to qualify the media as performing peace journalism in general. In the communication of the Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic and the Army of the Czech Republic, it was possible to observe a tendency to "humanize" some of the stories, especially by describing the everyday activities of soldiers. The Czech Republic's participation in the EU mission was most often associated with the Common Foreign and Security Policy and with general security aspects. In addition to the media and institutional agenda of the conflict in Mali, the work also reflects on the analytical usefulness of the concept of peace journalism.

Gastro-diplomacy of France: traditional "brand" and modern trends
Koptišová, Evelína ; Tomalová, Eliška (advisor) ; Matějka, Ondřej (referee)
Gastronomy belongs among the important elements of the French national identity and at the same time it is one of the main tourist attractions. Which place and why does the gastronomy have among the modern trends of public diplomacy and how is the French gastro-diplomacy formed on the online social media? There are certain long-lasting tensions visible in the French gastronomic discourse, for example between the Republican idea of unity and the foreign policy strategy of supporting diversity. However, historical research shows that these aspects are not excluding one another, they are more like two sides of the same coin. Gastro-diplomacy is then understood as a narrow dimension of the foreign policy, namely as a part of public cultural diplomacy. In the framework of contemporary French gastro-diplomacy, it is possible to observe the employment of modern instruments, such as the communication through online social networks. Combined with the bet on the long-standing good image of French cuisine, it is one of the ways in which France prove successful in the international arena. It is also a sign of strategic behaviour against the standardization of food products. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts showed that during the period 1. 1. 2009 - 30. 6. 2017,...
