Assessing the Priorities in China's Climate Change Policy-Making: Domestic and International Perspectives
Du, Yiyi ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Tesař, Jakub (referee)
This thesis investigates the factors that can sufficiently explain China's policy change on climate change issue. We utilize interest-based theory in environmental politics and constructivism to explore the drivers behind China's climate change policy formulation. The theories are tested by process tracing the historical development of China's policy on climate change. The analysis is further complemented by other explanatory factors based on empirical findings, including domestic policy process and the impact of non-state actors. The study finds out that China's climate change policy has experienced positive changes with growing policy stringency. The result shows that China's climate change policy cannot be sufficiently explained by the interest-based theory, the factor regarding ecological vulnerability can be only partially confirmed. Instead, international norms can provide plausible incentives for policy change through the process of socialization. The final policy outcomes are also connected to the interest of the most influential domestic political actor. The study results help us to better understand the environmental politics in China and provides guidelines to predict China's role in international climate change negotiation after the Conference of Parties in Paris.
Comparing applied policies and approaches in select U.S. cities in the context of urban crime
Vaculík, Jan ; Dopieralla, Jakub (advisor) ; Tesař, Jakub (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Comparison of applied policies and approaches in selected American cities in the context of urban crime" will deal with public policies addressing the issue of urban crime in selected American cities. The main part of the work will be an overview of the situation in each city, including the implementation of individual policies in the given urban areas and then their subsequent comparison. Within each city, three topics will be covered. The first will be an outline of history in the context of the issue. The subsequent main part within each city will deal with specific policies and their results. The final part will be devoted to the elaboration of the political context. The objectives of the subsequent comparison will be the results of the strategies across the defined cities, together with the impacts and influence of individual policies on the decline in crime. The comparison will also include an overall comparison of the policies and their implications.
The political system of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (Rojava)
Trubáček, Edmund ; Charvát, Jan (advisor) ; Tesař, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the political system of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. Even though they are de facto autonomous institutions, the Syrian Democratic Council and TEV-DEM, which will also be discussed in this thesis, are generally grouped under the Autonomous Administration. Those institutions together form the political system of the regions located in the northeast of Syria, which since 2012 function independently from the official Syrian government. This thesis will first describe the context, the environment and the basic principles on which this system is based. The main part of this thesis is the description and analysis of the above mentioned institutions, which form this system. This political system is specific in that it does not aspire to be a state-centered model of social order, but often presents itself as an alternative based on the voluntary cooperation of individual communes, districts and regions. The goal of this thesis is to capture the main mechanisms of this unusual political system and to answer the question, whether it truly is a democratic system with a "bottom-up" power structure.
Trump's New America: Identity, Discourse and Foreign Policy
Delmastro, Matthew ; Ditrych, Ondřej (advisor) ; Tesař, Jakub (referee)
This study focuses on the construction of American identity over time as it relates to U.S. foreign policy. It is based on the insights of poststructuralism and variants of discourse theory. In particular, the study depicts the historical development of identity representations within U.S. foreign policy discourse from 2008 to 2020, in order to demonstrate how the ongoing construction of identity enabled Donald Trump's disruptive foreign policy. Much of identity research in IR focuses on Self/Other relationships and understudies affirmative representations of identity. The current study fills this research gap by examining processes of affirmative linking in the construction of identity. The main results of the study found that the Trump administration's identity representations radically diverged from those of the Obama administration. The latter articulated America predominantly as a leader in the world, while the former reconstructed American identity as one of being a victim. However, two representations of American identity stayed constant: America as an inspiration to others and America as a force for good in the world.
Decreasing vaccination rate as a new global health problem
Galstyan, Elen ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; Tesař, Jakub (referee)
This master thesis is focused on decreasing levels of vaccination as a new health risk. In recent years it has become a new trend that we can observe in European countries. Low vaccination levels amongst population are one of the reasons for new epidemics or pandemics happening. When immunization rises above 95 % then a collective immunization comes into effect. Collective immunization lowers the chances of diseases spreading. For this reason, World health organization supports immunization and tries to make immunization affordable reachable for everyone everywhere. This these analyses measles which can be stopped by vaccinating the population. Therefore, the World health organization prepares strategic plans aimed at eradication of this disease. Each member state has a task to apply these plans in their specific environment. This thesis focuses on the Czech Republic and its implementation of strategic plans happening 2005-2010 and 2011-2020. This thesis is structured into 5 chapters focused on theory of international relations, hesitancy to vaccinate, strategic plans of World health organization and the Czech Republic.

A Contribution to the Diplomacy of the United States of America and selected European Powers during the Wars of Independence (1776-1783)
Petr, Vojtěch ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Tesař, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with diplomatic relations between United states of America and European powers in the time period of war of Independence (1776-1783). In 1776 the continental congress declares independence on Great Britain. United states need support, therefore they turn to the most likely option, France. That is when the first negotiations of the United States of America begin. Negotiations go well and in time France joins United states in war against Britain. At this moment the focus of Brittish shifts to European shores and France. Situation gets worse for Britain when Spain decides to join the war against them. Spain's main focus is in Europe, Gibraltar. After succesful siege of Yorktown, Britain surrenders the war. Peace negotiations start and delegates from United States are forced to go behind their allies backs and negotiate with England. Thanks to Shelburne, Britain succeeds in gaining as much as possible, and settles on 3rd of November 1776 by signing the Paris treaty. Goal of this paper is to analyze and evaluate brittish position after the peace settlement and try to find the motives for Spanish behaviour and their actual role and importance in the war.

Dabo, Mohamed Sidique ; Torney, Diarmuid (advisor) ; Tesař, Jakub (referee) ; Butler, Eamonn (referee)
This study assessed the role of the security sector in combating the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. In achieving the overall goal of the study, the assessment broadly covered the following: examined the national response structure before the outbreak; the emergence of Ebola and conspiracy theories in Sierra Leone, ascertained the early national Ebola response structure; the transition and composition to a new response architecture; assessed the effectiveness of policies and strategies by the security sector in combating Ebola; ascertained whether the effects of policies and strategies implored by the security sector in response to the outbreak; evaluated the impact of civil-military relations in combating the outbreak; and in the end examined the overall challenges in terms of the security sector's roles, and policies and strategies implored in responding to the outbreak. These areas broadly correspond to some of the objectives in response to the security sector's roles. Based on findings from assessing the areas stated above, the study has argued that the role played by the security sector in combating the 2014 Ebola outbreak have been largely effective. But while the role of the security sector has been largely positive, but this is not without many other factors - notably without the...
