Hodač, Jan ; Romancov, Michael (advisor) ; Žídková, Markéta (referee)
At the end of 1990s, the Russian state eroded, losing its power and the ability to perform elementary functions of government. The process of the "wild privatisation" of state-owned property during 1990s favored certain oligarchic groups, the state itself lost its possibility to create any meaningful long-term strategy. With hindsight it's hardly possible to consider President Jeltsin's era a big success. After Vladimir Putin became the President of the Russian Federation, the situation in the country has changed fundamentally. Russian economy is getting stronger, peoples" pride of being Russians is growing and Russia is ready again to be one of the decisive participants in the world politics at the beginning of the 21st century. Author is deeply convinced that it wouldn't be objective to consider the present situation in international relations to be "unipolar" despite of some states1efforts to do so. Russia is ready to promote its idea of multipolarism - the role of the United Nations is viewed as a keystone of present and future world politics. To promote such ideas, Russian Federation had to strengthen its positions in "near abroad" - from the point of view of the Russian foreign policy strategy, the consolidation of Russia's influential positions in the post-soviet space was a must in the connection of...

Sorokina, Veronika ; Aslan, Emil (advisor) ; Žídková, Markéta (referee)
Energy issues are of growing interest in the modern world. Ever since the Industrial Revolution and until the present century, energy and the need to secure its supply have been fundamental to any position of power in the world. At the same time, despite the rising role of energy in influencing state's national security, regime development, domestic and international politics, it is a fact that the professional journals in political science and international relations have not paid the sufficient attention to publishing research on these topics; themes, which have been examined in this respect, have been mostly devoted to research to the impact of oil. In contrast, this thesis focuses on the analysis of the relationship between international politics and natural gas originated from the Russian Federation as the country, which is widely recognized to be as one of the most influential actors on the energy source markets. This research project is based on a wide review of relevant literature supplemented by the data analyzing method, method of comparative analysis and the case study method. The latter is founded upon the examination of the new projects promoted by Russia, namely: the Nord Stream and South Stream pipeline projects. The findings underline that realist and neorealist categories have shaped...
