Krempaská, Michaela ; Druláková, Radka (advisor) ; Havlová, Radka (referee)
This thesis deals with George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's foreign policy towards selected countries of the Greater Middle East. The aim of my thesis was to determine whether George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's foreign policy was influenced by different theoretical movements (neoconservatism and liberalism) and whether these former presidents of the United States chose different or similiar approach towads Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. The first chapter characterizes neoconservatism and liberalism and deals in more detail with the principles of these theoretical movements (the next chapters analyzes whether these principles were implemented in George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's foreign policy towards selected countries of the Middle East region). The last chapter compares George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's foreign policy towards Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran.
The Role of NGOs in the Kimberley Process: Zimbawe Case Study
Krempaská, Michaela ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of blood diamonds and the role of NGOs in the Kimberley Process. The theoretical part explains the concept of "blood diamonds" and decsribes conflict resolution in international relations and the status of NGOs in international relations. The practical part describes the role of NGOs in the Kimberley process (their role in adopting the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme), evaluates the situation in Zimbabwe after the discovery of the diamond fields in Chiadzwa and describes the subsequent reaction of the Kimberley Process for blood diamonds in Zimbabwe. The thesis deals with the criticism of the Kimberley Process -- NGOs criticise the Kimberley process mainly for its inefficiency, lack of transparency and inadequate control mechanisms.
