Kohoutová, Pavlína ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
The establishment of the State of Israel had rather unpleasant consequences, which very negatively influence the Middle East relations until today. For this bachelor thesis the term Middle East relations was reduced to Israeli-Palestinian relations and relations within the Israeli community, where the specifics of the establishment of the State of Israel have the most visible impacts. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to bring closer the process of the establishment of the State of Israel as well as to find an answer to the question, how this historical event forms the contemporary relations within the Israeli community and within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The final chapter analyses their colabouration within the so called Quartet, with the main emphasis on their common project concerning the establishment of definite peace in the Middle East, which is the plan known as the Roadmap. Possible reasons of the failure of the peace process are evaluated at the end of this paper and steps leading to a final adjustment of the relations of this stagnant conflict are proposed.

China and Africa: the partnership rediscovered and the implications for the European Union
Kopecká, Petra ; Adamcová, Lenka (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
China is becoming an increasingly important actor in international political and economic relations. The pace of Chinese economic growth triggers a progressively growing demand for natural resources. After launching the "open-door" policy in the Chinese modern history (which attracted the important sources of capital inflows), the Chinese government introduced a "go-out" strategy for the Chinese companies to integrate them into the global structures. This strategy has its direct impacts on developing countries, where the Chinese presence is apparent the most. China is cooperating with all of the developing regions; however, sixty-year long cooperation with Africa is outstanding in many ways. In this continent China has to encounter other traditional actors -- European Union above all, as Africa constitutes a centrepiece in European development cooperation policy. The aim of this master thesis is to describe the shape and evolution of long-term Sino-African relations into today's "strategic partnership", which is being regarded as "rediscovered" in this thesis, and to conclude with the implications for the EU policy. To achieve this, the thesis is divided into three chapters. First chapter deals with the theoretical basis for the shape of Sino-African relations, in broad terms of Chinese foreign policy towards developing countries. The second chapter looks onto actual, mainly economic and developmental, impacts of the Chinese "go-out" strategy on Africa. The thesis indicates the approach of the European Union to the rediscovered partnership.

Turkey and the EU: cultural and historical aspects
Sellner, Filip ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
In the main part of the thesis is described the relationship between Turkey and the EU. Also the evolution of the relationship with the beginning in the 1960s is analyzed with consequences of the potential enlargement for both, the Turkey and the EU. Nevertheless, the basic time period is the last decade with an outlook for the first years of the potential Turkish membership in the EU. Not only culture but also attitude of European citizens and Turcs to the membership or Turkish economy and its geographic location play an important role in the process of enlargement. Potential pros and contras are followed by the analysis of the dispute over Cyprus with Greece and the question of Kurdish people in Turkey.

Causes of Failure of Nation - Building in South Vietnam
Košťálová, Zuzana ; Knotková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Cibulková, Petra (referee)
The USA started nation-building in South Vietnam in 1954 after the Geneva Agreements. The USA wanted to build a state which would prevent expansion of communism to other states in Asia. This program failed and finally, in 1976 South Vietnam and North Vietnam were reunited into a single communist Vietnam. The goal of this bachelor thesis is to identify factors that caused nation-building in South Vietnam to fail. The causes of failure of nation-building are classified in three main levels - American policy in South Vietnam, South Vietnam and extern factors like the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, Soviet Union and People's Republic of China.

Hýla, Ondřej ; Cibulková, Petra (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses primarily on analyzing foreign direct investments of Russian companies. Their growing foreign investment activity started to draw attention mainly because of rising concerns over the nature and reasons for the investments. The most notorious case is Gazprom which often provokes speculations whether its investments are of purely economic motivations or political reasons can be also found behind them. These speculations reflect the shift in the ownership structure of the companies and their investment targets in host countries.
