Čížková, Tereza ; Knotková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Cibulková, Petra (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of the influence of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisa-tion on the relationships with the Russian Federation. The first part pursues the cir-cumstances that were brought by the end of the Cold War and the discussion about the NATO's future regarding the enlargement aspect. The second part examines the development after the millennium and the next enlargement round including the Baltic States. The third part analyzes the possible access of Georgia and Ukraine to the NATO and the Russian attitude toward this matter. Simultaneously, it outlines the theoretical scenario -- the Russian Federation as the NATO's membership candidate.

Theory of a Clash of Civilizations: Case study Kosovo
Kodrazi, Suzan ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Novotná, Yvona (referee)
The case of Kosovo conflict serves as tool to test the validity of Huntington's theory. Owing to the fact that Mr, Huntington himself described the Balkans and Kosovo as an example of a fault line war, my aim is to verify his assumptions that the roots of the Kosovo conflict are to be found in the religion. During this work the conflict is reconstructed using Mr. Huntington's hypothesis and claims as well as interpreted by three hypothesis. Firstly, Kosovo could represent a conflict at the fault line, which would mean that the theory of the clash of the civilizations is verified. Secondly, the intervention of NATO implies participation of the third civilization in the conflict. To put in differently, the democratic West (NATO) intervened against the orthodox civilization (Serbia) in order to prevent the humanitarian catastrophe the Albanian population of Kosovo (Islam) was to face. Verification of this theory would imply that if there was a conflict between the civilizations in Kosovo, it was between the West (and Kosovo as an integral part of it) and the orthodox civilization. The third hypothesis interprets the Kosovo conflict as a war of the Civilization to promote its own values. Despite the fact that this explanation of the Kosovo conflict could possibly be the most probable one, original assumption of Mr. Huntington stating that the problems of Kosovo are of religious character would be falsified.

Motýlová, Ivana ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Novotná, Yvona (referee)
This thesis refers to the solution to the ongoing conflict in one of the poorest and most unstable states in the world -- in Afghanistan. Historical aspects of this conflict lasting since 2001 are analysed as well as factors determining the character of the Afghan society. Further, this thesis deals with the development of the conflict and with the post-conflict reconstruction, which will contribute considerably to its solution. There are lots of internal and external participants in the post-conflict reconstruction. One of them is the Czech Republic operating as a member of the international community. The Czech contribution is thoroughly described in the case study, which forms the last chapter of this thesis.

Finnish-Russian Relations after Finland´s Joining the EU
Cvejnová, Barbora ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
The master thesis describes the Finnish-Russian relations after 1995, that means the year when Finland joined the EU. The current mutual relations are considered to be excellent even in spite of Finland's negative experience from the past. The aim of the thesis is to analyze Finnish-Russian relations and to outline their individual fields. The question is whether the excellent relations will be continued or if there are any factors that could impair the development of the relations. The question might also be to which extent the experience from the past could determine some of the issues, such as Finland's joining the NATO or the Karelian question.

The diploma thesis comprises several areas of the Czech-Danish relations, mainly deals with the political and diplomatic affairs and focuses also on economic and cultural connections.

Legality of Kosovo intervention
Lachi, Olesea ; Kalová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Pospěchová, Lucie (referee)
Údery NATO, hned po jejich zahájení, vyvolaly velké debaty na celém světě: dilema spočívala v tom, že snaha zastavit ?etnické čistky? kosovských Albánců ze strany Bělehradu měla tak nejistý právní základ: zásah NATO v Kosovu totiž neměl mandát Rady bezpečnosti OSN. Zákaz použití síly je jus cogens v mezinárodním právu a výjimky které vyjmenovává Charta OSN zásah neospravedlňují. Přesto, mezinárodní společnost považuje zásah legitimním. Ve své práce bych se chtěla zaměřit právě na otázku legality kosovského zásahu NATO, částečně i legitimity, nebo nakolik se dá vykompenzovat ?neúplnou? nebo ?nedostatečnou? legalitu právní legitimitou.

The NATO Enlargement: The Interaction With the Europe´s Security Environment of the 90s
Beneš, Libor ; Eichler, Jan (advisor) ; Krátký, Karel (referee) ; Krč, Miroslav (referee) ; Janošec, Josef (referee)
Disertace popisuje interakci rozšiřování NATO s bezpečnostním prostředím Evropy 90. let. Propojuje teorii mezinárodních vztahů s teoretickými a praktickými zkušenostmi a argumenty, zejména kritikou, k rozšiřování. Potvrzuje tezi, že rozšiřování je přínosný, ba nenahraditelný proces pro Evropu i Západ. Rozšiřování zase uspělo, protože odpovědělo na problémy a potřeby Evropy. Mladší evropské demokracie rozšířením NATO získaly i NATO posílily. V zájmu jejich, Evropy i celého Západu je ocenit, studovat a rozvíjet přínos rozšiřování a jeho interakce s Evropou, podporovat silné NATO, vztahy Evropy s USA i posilování vztahů evropských zemí s USA přímějšími formami, aktuálně hlavně vybudováním americké základny v ČR.
