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.

The thesis deals with the development of Slovak-Hungarian relations from the 50`s on. The need for close cooperation between Czechoslovakia and Hungary emerged during the building of the dam Gabčíkovo-Nagymaros. The period of Kadarism in Hungary and the inauguration of Alexander Dubček into the post of Secretary of Communist Party favoured bilateral plans in Eastern block. Undergoing social and political changes in the 80`s caused politization of the issue in Hungary and different perception by both sides of the Treaty of 16 September 1977. Even after the unilateral execution of the option-C by Slovakia and the International Court of Justice judgement, Slovakia still insists on the implementation of the foundng Treaty. Hungary now seems to be trying to evade this unpleasant question of the past.
