The Transformation of Austrian neutrality
Pastrňáková, Zuzana ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the transformation of Austrian neutrality. Austria became neutral in 1955 because neutrality was seen as the most appropriate option for Austria to become an independent state. Austria has always appreciated its neutrality because it enabled an undisturbed development during the period of the Cold War. Only the European integration remained during this time a sensitive issue. After the Cold War, Austria started to redefine its neutrality to be able to join the European Union. It also started to participate in the Partnership for Peace. The decision to join NATO was finally not made. The end of this thesis assesses the impacts of the Treaty of Lisbon on the Austrian neutrality and shows the possible development of the neutral status of Austria.

Neutrality of Sweden as EU Member Country
Bohatová, Martina ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
Sweden is currently viewed as a small country of North Europe. However, it can be proud of a long historical tradition with a number of political successes -- the fact that there has not been a war for more than two hundred years due to neutrality can be considered as the biggest one. The neutrality is perceived as a politico-security conception. The thesis tries to sum up the perception of Swedish neutrality, to chart its changes in time and to measure its compatibility with the EU membership through the observation of the Swedish foreign policy, the participation in Common Foreign and Security Policy, Common Security and Defence Policy and the preparation of the EU Council Presidency. The aim is to confirm the hypothesis that Sweden is due to changes in the perception of neutrality concept the full member of the European Union also in such complex things as Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy.

The Role of Neutrality in the EU
Herbstová, Michaela ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (referee)
Neutrality is a political concept that can be observed in practice for several centuries. However, this concept is not an immutable but rather a variable one. The change of its form can also be seen in the evolvement of Swedish security policy. Sweden has long been seen as neutral state, but its security policy underwent a gradual transition within the years. Therefore, this thesis offers an analysis of transition of Swedish security policy since its beginning until nowadays and provides a closer focus on the mutual relationship of Swedish policy of neutrality and CSDP within the EU.

Security policy of Sweden and Switzerland and development policy as its tool
Zakopalová, Dagmar ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
Sweden and Switzerland are countries with the longest tradition of maintaining the policy of neutrality. Due to the changing nature of the international scene these countries adjust their security policies so that they correspond to the current international situation. This bachelor thesis aims to compare actual trends in security policies and neutrality policies of the examined countries and outline possible perspectives of further development in this field. One of methods more and more used to establishing broader state security is development policy and that is why the second part of the thesis deals with explanation and comparison of the security aspects of Swedish and Swiss development activities.

Šťastná, Alice ; Veselý, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Šauer, Jaroslav (referee)
This bachelor thesis reports on the position of Austria in international relations in the 20th century. The aim of the thesis is to analyze the change in its position in the international framework: after World War I, the Central state of the Habsburg empire was reduced to a poor small country which became a part of Nazi Germany after twenty years of its existence. Even though Austria was liberated in 1945, the State treaty restoring the state sovereignty and putting an end to a period of allied occupation was signed at as late a date as 1955. This year in recourse signifies the beginning of Austria's modern history. The thesis is divided into 4 chapters. The first chapter maps the development of Austria until the beginning of World War II, the second one deals with the war time in relation to the negotiations about the future shape of the country and the post-war situation. The third chapter is focused on the ten years of occupation and the struggle over the State Treaty. The last chapter analyzes the Declaration of Neutrality, the policy of neutrality, foreign policy as well as the efforts to participate in the European integration process.

Diplomová práce je zaměřena na aktuální vývoj integračního procesu Švýcarska a Evropské unie. Zhodnocení vztahů vychází především z Bilaterálních dohod I a II. Zohledněny jsou základní pilíře švýcarské národní hrdosti (federalismus, přímá demokracie a neutralita). Zobrazeno je kromě vztahu s EU i členství Švýcarska v mezinárodních organizacích. Pozornost je věnována cestovnímu ruchu Švýcarska, který tvoří jeden z důležitých příjmů země. Součástí práce je také komparace s Rakouskem, a to z pohledu rozdílů v integrační strategii a její dopady na ekonomiku a dále z pohledu postavení cestovního ruchu v ekonomice.
