Neo-Ottomanism and its impact on Türkiye's international relations: The case of Libya
Zeman, Michael David ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (referee)
This thesis analyzes how Neo-Ottomanism influences Türkiye's foreign policy in its approach towards Libya. It seeks to assess whether a clear pattern of the new Turkish political doctrine of Neo-Ottomanism can be observed in Türkiye's engagement in Libya, or whether this engagement does not carry any features that illustrate a transformation of foreign policy concepts. This link is examined in the period from the Arab Spring and the fall of the Gaddafi regime to the end of the Türkiye's intervention in 2020. The first part of the paper defines the terms Kemalism and Neo- Ottomanism through a reflection on the academic debate. Based on this debate, key aspects of the latter doctrine are then identified, including: panturkism mixed with pan-Islamism, an emphasis on religion and Ottoman heritage, its own independent soft/hard power diplomacy, aggressive regional politics and a multidimensional approach in foreign policy. The second part describes how its ideas entered Türkiye's political discourse and places Türkiye's-Libyan relations in a broader historical context. The third part examines these aspects through the example of Ankara's actions in Libya and towards other countries involved in its internal affairs. The findings show that Türkiye's interventions in that country can be interpreted as...

Comparative analysis of the regimes of Adnan Menderes and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the impacts of the military coups on their reign.
Jordán, Roman ; Brisku, Adrian (advisor) ; Kubát, Michal (referee)
1 Abstract In several public appearances, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has claimed the legacy of Adnan Menderes, describing him as a martyr of democracy who was the first to oppose Kemalist rule in the country and vowed to complete his mission. The aim of this work is to verify how legitimate is this comparison of Erdoğan to the first freely elected prime minister of modern Turkey, Menderes, by means of a comparative analysis of both seemingly different regimes. At the same time, both regimes faced military coups, the legitimately elected DP government fell, and Menderes was executed, while Tayyip Erdoğan's regime fended off a coup attempt and further consolidated its power over the country. The secondary goal is to compare the causes of these military coups, what factors decided the different fate of the two politicians and to briefly evaluate the consequences. This diachronic comparison provides possible insights for understanding the preferences of the Turkish electorate and the specific dynamics of politics there. In the introductory part, the theoretical framework is defined, in which key concepts are presented, which will be used in the subsequent comparative analysis. In the case of populism, democracy and the theory of authoritarian and hybrid regimes, these concepts are first introduced in general and then...

Posuny v turecké zahraniční politice v éře R. T. Erdoğana a její dopady na vztahy s USA a Izraelem
Ikizgül, Varol
My bachelor's thesis deals with the shape and development of Turkish-American and Turkish-Israeli foreign relations, especially in the era of R. T. Erdoğan. The aim of the thesis is to answer the question of how Turkey's foreign policy has changed after the accession of R. T. Erdoğan and how significantly these changes have affected the gradual development of foreign relations with the United States and Israel. Turkish, Israeli, and American interests, particularly in the Middle East, often overlap, which is why their foreign relations are very dynamic. The thesis points out that although Turkey remains one of the United States' main partners in NATO, Erdoğan's foreign policy has repeatedly come into conflict with the foreign policies of the Biden administration, the Trump administration, or the Obama administration before that. In particular, I see the Kurdish issue, or the issue of acquiring military technology outside NATO structures, as a fundamental core of the conflicts. Also central to the strengthening of Russia and Iran's positions of power is the position of Israel, which is an important strategic ally of both the United States and Turkey. Despite the fact that Turkish-Israeli relations have been in very good shape most of the time, the Gaza Strip was, especially in the first half of the 2010s, a bone of contention between the two countries.

The impact of the Turkish economic crisis on Turkey's foreign policy and the Turkish-Israeli relations
Rodrigues Soares Barbosa Silva, Pedro Gonçalo ; Kazharski, Aliaksei (advisor) ; Aslan, Emil (referee)
This thesis aims to evaluate the impact of Turkey's economic crisis on its foreign policy and analyse the subsequent developments in the relationship between Turkey and Israel. Supporting the analysis, a theoretical framework based on Economic Realism was utilised, wherein the analytical portion of the thesis will focus first on Economic dimension of the Turkish-Israeli relationship, and later its Security dimension. The Economic Analysis section focuses mainly on the 2018 economic crisis in Turkey, and the characteristics of the Turkish economy, as well as the trade/economic relationship between Ankara and related recent regional developments. The thesis delves into the Turkish-Israeli rapprochement of 2022, combining a political analysis of recent developments with a historical study of the bilateral relationship. The security dimension of the relationship is also explored, particularly in relation to the shared concern of Iran. The thesis analyses more deeply the Turco-Iranian, as well as Israeli-Iranian rivalry in Syria and Iraq, in order to evaluate the potential Security-driven calculations in the Turkish foreign policy shift. The thesis concludes that Turkey's post-crisis foreign policy shift aligns with Economic Realism. The Turkish-Israeli rapprochement is positive but not unique in the...

Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant and Energy Diplomacy: How Construction of the Akkuyu Power Plant affected Energy Diplomacy between Turkey and Russia? A Process Tracing Approach.
Kolay, Bengi ; Holubcová, Jitka (advisor) ; Ludvík, Jan (referee)
In 2010 a contract was signed between Russian Rosatom and Turkey to build the first Nuclear Power plant (NPP) in Turkey called Akkuyu NPP. The aim of this thesis is to analyze energy diplomacy between Turkey and Russia in context of the construction of Akkuyu. By analyzing energy diplomacy in the context of Akkuyu NPP gives a better understanding of bilateral relations, national interest, economic considerations and security concerns. To study this, explaining the outcome type of Process Tracing (PT) was used as it allows analyses within a case. Akkuyu NPP in itself is unique as it is the first NPP that is built on Build Operate and Own (BOO) principle that is technically owned by the Russian Federation. Three hypotheses were formulated and tested. As a result, out of three hypotheses two were proven. The first hypothesis that argued that the construction of Akkuyu NPP was used as an energy diplomacy tool by Russia to promote national interest was conclusively proven but had some plausible indications. Hypothesis two and three demonstrated that construction of Akkuyu was affected by energy diplomacy and economic considerations and Akkuyu NPP has negatively affected energy diplomacy between Turkey and Russia. From PT results and literature review combined it can be further plausible to say the...

Němcová, Linda ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Křeček, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the framing of the Cyprus conflict in Czech print newspapers from the perspective of peace journalism. The aim of this thesis is to examine the journalistic tendencies that are applied in the selection and processing of events related to the Cyprus conflict in the Czech media. Not only the main topics that are preferred by the media in their coverage in this context are monitored, but also the way in which the various actors in the conflict are presented and the ratio of representation of official and unofficial sources of quotations. The theoretical part of this thesis explains the concept of framing, its relation to media agenda setting theory, the framing process and the typology of frames. It also introduces the concept of peace journalism in contrast to war journalism. At the same time, this chapter offers an overview of the origins and development of the Cyprus conflict up to its current form. The last subchapter of this section is devoted to selected foreign research on framing the Cyprus conflict, especially its findings and sets of frames. These are used in a quantitative content analysis focusing on the occurrence of these predefined frames in Czech print newspapers. In the interpretation of the results, the correspondences or differences with these studies are...
