The impact of the U.S. invasion on Iraqi education during 2003-2010
Jaškina, Anna ; Hornát, Jan (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
This thesis examines how the 2003 US invasion reshaped Iraq's education system from 2003 to 2010, highlighting the pivotal role of education in the country's reconstruction. Beginning with Saddam Hussein's era, marked by politicized schools but also notable educational achievements in the 1980s, it subsequently delves into the disruptive effects of the Gulf War and UN sanctions on Iraqi society. The thesis then analyzes the upheaval caused by the invasion and occupation, particularly focusing on its repercussions for primary, secondary, and tertiary education, as well as its social impact on children and adolescents. Additionally, it evaluates the role of international humanitarian aid, with a specific focus on initiatives led by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Ultimately, the thesis contends that while the US invasion significantly impacted Iraqi education, pre-existing conflicts and poorly executed reconstruction efforts compounded the challenges. It underscores the urgent need to prioritize the restoration of education and healthcare as fundamental steps towards rebuilding Iraqi society.

The Politics of International Sanctions and their Influence on Economy of Particular Countries - Case of Russia and Iran
Poč, Marek ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Miková, Ivana (referee)
Sanctions are one of the ways in which individual states or the international community can enforce their rights and interests. They can vary from banning travel to boycott and embargo affecting the entire country's economy. The sanctions have recently been practiced primarily by the European Union and the United Nations, and by the United States in case of particular countries. The topic of this work is international sanctions against Russia and Iran. Both countries have been in conflict with the international community in recent years, and both countries were punished. In the case of Iran, there were concerns about the use of the Iranian nuclear program for military purposes, the main objective was to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Russia has been the subject of sanctions as a result of violations of international agreements and international law on the basis of the occupation of the Ukrainian Crimea and the development of the military conflict in the East of Ukraine. The thesis describes the reasons, course and impact of sanctions imposed on Iran and Russia, the Iranian and Russian economies and their representatives. At the same time, it seeks to assess the impact of sanctions both in the economic sphere and in terms of changes in the political direction of both countries.

Sanctions within the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy
Lekešová, Barbora ; Svoboda, Pavel (advisor) ; Scheu, Harald Christian (referee)
Sanctions within the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the EU sanctions legislation, with the focus on the most problematic part - sanctions against non-state actors relating to the fight against terrorism. Within this objective I also focus on the analysis of relevant case law, in particular the latest developments at the Court of Justice, which has not yet been sufficiently reflected in the literature. The reason for my research is the intriguing development the application of sanctions has gone through in the EU, regarding the case law and the changes introduced by the Lisbon Treaty. The thesis is composed of five chapters. Chapter One is introductory and defines the term international sanctions and the context of their adoption at the UN level. Chapter Two examines the Common Foreign and Security Policy, which is the tool EU uses for the sanctions application. Chapter Three thoroughly analyses the relevant provisions of the primary law. First part of the chapter focuses on the pre-Lisbon legislation for its importance for the EU case law. Second part provides a detailed insight into the primary law provisions after the Lisbon Treaty and focuses on the latest Court of Justice decision concerning the application of articles 75 and 215 SFEU.

UN sanctions against Iran
Hulvejová, Jana ; Bříza, Vlastislav (advisor) ; Pulgret, Miroslav (referee)
The bachelor thesis UN sanctions against Iran deals with the issue of proliferation and international sanctions - an element in the strategy to prevent proliferation in the Middle East. In order to halt Iran's efforts to become a nuclear state, the UN Security Council adopted several rounds of sanctions targeting mainly Iran's nuclear programme, its trade and finances. However, Iran's continuous defiance of international isolation and political pressure and its refusal to give up the nuclear programme raise the inevitable question of the sanctions' efficacy. The first part of the thesis constitutes an introduction to the issue of international sanctions, it presents the history of Iranian nuclear programme and also the response of the international community not only in the form of sanctions, but also negotiations. It attempts to analyse the security threat posed by Iran, its defending arguments and probable motives. The second and third part of the thesis deal with the sanction measures imposed on Iran. The author examines the individual UNSC Resolutions and their subsequent implementation, gradually moving towards the assessment of the effectivity of sanction measures with an emphasis on economic and psychological impact and how it affects the nuclear programme. The thesis attempts to analyse the...

Dopad mezinárodních sankcí spojených s Ukrajinskou krizí na ruskou ekonomiku
Pak, Alena ; Bolotov, Ilya (advisor) ; Čajka, Radek (referee)
The economic sanctions in connection with the Ukrainian crisis have been implemented in order to prevent the Russian Federation from interference and escalation of the situation. The main determinant of effectiveness of economic sanctions is costs that are inflicted by these measures. The goal of this thesis is to find out whether economic sanctions have had an impact on the Russian economy. Russia has been experiencing recession since 2014. One of causes is economic sanctions. Statistical analysis within the theory of gravity model of trade confirms that economic sanctions have had impact on the Russian economy. Calculation of economic cost for Russia and political success of economic sanctions requires a separate research.
