War Powers of the U.S. President in War Against Terrorism: A Case Study of President Bush's Military Order for November 13, 2001
Dobeš, Petr ; Sehnálková, Jana (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
The subjects of this thesis are the war powers of the U.S. President. The main theory of this work is that from the beginning of the 20th century, there is the trend of expanding presidential powers and a strong executive which peaked during the presidency of George W. Bush under the influence of extraordinary circumstances that had been in place after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. This theory will be proved by the case study of a Military Order of November 13, 2001 regarding Detention, Treatment, and Trial of Certain Non-Citizens in the War Against Terrorism issued by president George W. Bush and by the analysis of communication between certain members of the executive. This thesis seeks answers to questions whether the U.S. Constitution is able to cope with the threat of global terrorism, in what ways President Bush overstepped his constitutional authority and whether the presidency of George W. Bush could be regarded as a case of an "imperial presidency" as described by Arthur Schlesinger Jr.
Executive orders in the US political system
Bui Thuy, Hanh ; Kotábová, Věra (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
During the formative years of the American political system, the presidency has adopted so called unilateral tools, by which the President is able to enforce his agenda without the need of consent from the Congress or judiciary court. However, these tools are not written in the Constitution and their amount and means of usage has changed throughout time. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to study the factors that have caused these changes, specifically the unilateral tool of executive orders. The thesis analyses executive orders issued by the current president of the United States, Barack Obama, whose governing tenure is often characterized by frequent use of executive orders. It also examines whether and how these executive orders can be evaluated from the perspective of the Constitution. The result of the thesis serves as an introduction to the issue of these controversial presidential acts with the need of further study within the complexity of the American political system.
Promoting Czech Priorities in Eastern Partnership: Three Czech Presidencies
Franěk, Robert ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Najšlová, Lucia (referee)
The thesis "Promoting Czech Priorities in Eastern Partnership" deals with Czech policy towards six states of Eastern Europe and Southern Caucasus during three presidencies: in Visegrad Group in years 2007/2008 and 2011/2012 and in the Council of EU in 2009. These periods were chosen, because Czech Republic had the biggest opportunity to influence the project in them. Based on the analysis of presidency programms and evaluation of agenda, the thesis tries to assess, if was Czech Republic successful in promoting its foreign policy priorities in the project during the presidencies. First chapters of the thesis are dedicated to history of Czech relations with the region of Eastern Europe and to description of Eastern Partnership project. The other three chapters are case studies of particular presidencies. After all, the thesis concludes, that despite the fact, that Czech Republic successfully included its priorities in presidency programms and agenda, it was not able to promote them on the EU level because of lack of political interest and experience.
French-Czech Relationships after the French Presidency of the Council of the EU (2009-2013)
Čapková, Zuzana ; Tomalová, Eliška (advisor) ; Matějka, Ondřej (referee)
The diploma thesis "The French-Czech relations after the French EU Presidency (2009- 2013)" examines the relations between France and the Czech Republic during five years after the French presidency of the European Union in the second half of 2008, which was replaced by the Czech Presidency in the first half of 2009. It is evident that bilateral relations between Member States are influenced by their membership in the EU. The aim of this work is to find out whether we can observe a similar process in the opposite direction, that is, whether bilateral cooperation between France and the Czech Republic contributes to the Europeanisation of relations in the fields of foreign policy, defense and security, justice and home affairs, transport, environment, trade and economic relations, culture, science and education. The work is divided into two main parts. After a theoretical and methodological introduction, the first one treats the evolution of the French-Czech relations in the 20th and 21st century, the largest part of the work is the analysis of key areas derived from the text of Strategic Partnership established in 2008. In the final chapter, the author tries to generalize the Europeanisation of bilateral relations between these two EU Member States with regard to the importance of bilateral and...
Role of the US Foreign Policy Advisers
Blažek, Jiří ; Klepárník, Vít (advisor) ; Koubek, Jiří (referee)
This thesis focuses on the role of the advisors in the US foreign policy, especially in the decision-making process, which constitutes a part of presidential system in the United States of America. The methodology of the conceptual part is based on individual typologies of presidential control of the US administrations. The thesis also describes evolution of this discipline, which in the USA is studied in the field of Foreign Policy Analysis. The conceptual scheme of the presidential control is based on the models by Johnson, George and Mitchell. The theoretical approach to the roles of advisors is patterned on the models of Mulcahy, Crabb and Hönig. The thesis combines these theoretical bases to describe and explain the evolution of presidential control typologies. Some problematic particularities of the Mitchell typology are also reviewed in this part. The next part based on the theoretical models analyses empirical reality. The analytical part constitutes of two case studies, which describe the role of the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs in the key deliberations of the presidential administrations of William J. Clinton (reaction to the conflict in Bosnia) and George W. Bush (preparation of the invasion in Iraq). The aim of this thesis is to applicate the typologies of...
Change of the Presidency's Role after the Lisbon Treaty on the example of Spain and Belgium
Grulichová, Zuzana ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Tomalová, Eliška (referee)
The Lisbon Treaty has made significant changes to the institutional functioning of the whole system of the European Union. Most notably, it has constituted a non-rotating long-term Presidency for the European Council and Foreign Affairs Council. Before the Lisbon Treaty, the Member State of the European Union presided over all Council constellations, including the European Council, for a six-month term. These changes certainly contributed to the solution of some issues (for instance continuity issues), on the other hand these changes affected in some ways the performance of the rotating Presidency. I focus on these changes to the institutional form of the Presidency and on the effects these changes had on the Presidency's performance in its functions, namely the negotiation and external representation. I draw on the experience of the first two post-Lisbon Presidencies, Spanish and Belgian one. My aim is to examine the changing role of the Presidency in these functions. I explore the role of the Presidency before and during negotiations of the founding Treaties of the European Union and its role after the reforms introduced by the Lisbon Treaty. Mainly, I focus on examining the relationship between the rotating Presidency and newly-established permanent Presidency of the European Council and High...
Europeanization of the Czech Foreign policy and the impact of the Presidency in the Council of the EU: The case of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Pelc, Martin ; Rovná, Lenka (advisor) ; Debnárová, Ľubica (referee)
This diploma thesis applies the theoretical concept of Europeanization on a research of the Czech foreign policy and its changes in relation to the presidency of the EU Council. As a case study, it analyses different Czech and EU's positions towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and then by comparison of both levels it determines the misfit between Czech and the EU's policies in the mentioned agenda. From historical point of view and from contemporary perspective as well, the Czech Republic is famous for very pro-Israeli attitudes. On the other hand, the EU is significantly focused on supporting of the Palestinians and building the Palestinian state. The research is divided into three periods: before the Czech Presidency of the EU in the years 2004-2008, during the Czech Presidency and then after the presidency until the end of 2010. The aim of the research is to evaluate changes of the misfit between the Czech domestic attitudes and the EU's positions by the example of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict's issues and then to find out whether the Czech foreign policy has been europeanized during the studied period. The main question of the thesis asks whether the Presidency of the EU Council has an impact on longer-term Europeanization of domestic foreign policy. The thesis has proved that the...

Tvarohová, Jana ; Trunečková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Šmíd, Milan (referee)
Bachelor's thesis Nicolas Sarkozy's reflection in the news of ČTK in a period of Czech European Union Presidency pursues French president Nicolas Sarkozy's activities in a period of Czech Presidency from 1st January to 30th June 2009. The Czech Republic was the second post-communist country after Slovenia which was the leader of the European Union so our Presidency received much interest. At the beginning, the Czech Republic as well as its Presidency was in a shadow of France which led the European Union before and its President Nicolas Sarkozy whose Presidency was very ambitious and dynamic. The aim of this thesis was to find out, how the news corresponded with Sarkozy's qualitites. Whether the news corresponded and Nicolas Sarkozy was really portrayed as the hyperactive and tireless politician, or his picture was the different, and the news of ČTK did not correspond with his characteristic properties. The second part of the thesis was a quantitative analysis of all news which in the text news of ČTK about Nicolas Sarkozy issued in the pursued period, and the detailed analysis of their metadata. These are always for clarity put and summarized in the tables. In some cases, I used graphs for better visibility. More detailed graphs of the quantity of news issued for each month are listed in the annexe.
