The Role of the Atomic Weapon in the Foreign Policy of the United States during the Korean War
Štěpánková, Jitka ; Bečka, Jan (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
Atomic bomb has had a profound impact on the international relations after the end of the Second World War. It became not only an effective military weapon, but as the American statesmen hoped, it could also served as an instrument of foreign policy and become a political and diplomatic asset. The United States wanted to use the atomic weapon to obtain concessions from the USSR and in general, to deter the enemy. This thesis analyzes the role of the atomic bomb in the first "hot" conflict of the Cold War - the Korean War. The atomic bomb, according to American military planners, should have played a crucial role in the US military plans, but in a limited war, which the Korean conflict turned out to be, their concepts proved to be inapplicable and as a result, the nuclear weapon was not used in combat operations. The atomic bomb was thus used in the Korean War not as a military weapon, but as a political instrument. President Eisenhower and his Secretary of State John F. Dulles, for example, believed that the nuclear threats which they had addressed to their communist adversaries, led to the armistice in Korea 1953.

Cuba, The United States of America, media, Granma, The Washington Post, Cuban-American relations, ideology
Kadlecová, Gabriela ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (advisor) ; Šmíd, Milan (referee)
This bachelor thesis compares how American media, particularly The Washington Post, informed about important world events with the information published in the Cuban daily newspaper Granma. Observed time range is June 21 to July 21 2009. The Cuban daily newspaper Granma comes out worse in this comparison because ideology of the Cuban Communist Party is clear in the majority of its articles. Even tough the newspaper regularly published articles not burdened by ideology, for example about sports or culture, in many texts that appeared in the political section in the followed period, ideology was clear and they were not written in an objective way. Most tinted articles were published in connection with the "Cuban Five" and the coup d'état in Honduras. However, neither was The Washington Post fully objective: too much space was dedicated to some topics, which proves for example the death of Michael Jackson. A similar case represents the economic situation, to which even several articles a day were dedicated. In addition, it obviously gave priority to the United States of America and overlooked events in the rest of the world.

Selected aspects of economic relations between the European Union and the People's Republic of China at the beginning of the 21st century and their real impact on the world economy
Smola, Filip ; Bolotov, Ilya (advisor) ; Čajka, Radek (referee)
The main aim of this dissertation is to analyze selected economic activities and economic relations occurring between the European Union and China. This dissertation is divided into four main chapters to ensure coherence and continuity throughout the research. The first chapter deals with the historical development of mutual cooperation between Europe and China. This chapter emphasizes recent events. The most extensive part of this work, the second section, addresses key areas of cooperation between the EU and China. Most of the research focus is devoted to trade economic relations and investment relations. Further, the second chapter addresses controversial areas within the mutual EU-China relations. In contrast with the second chapter, which looks at the mutual relations from the perspective of the whole EU, the third chapter distinguishes bilateral relations between two EU countries and China. The purpose of the third chapter is therefore to highlight the different approach of individual EU member countries. In the last chapter, I try to assess the growing influence of both the EU and China within the global economy. Finally, I outline the possible future development of the research topic.
