China’s energy challenge and its impact on diplomacy
Šnapková, Patrícia ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
Energy is crucial for economic development of a country. It is very important for the Chinese leadership to ensure energy security of the country. China is the largest consumer of energy. Oil demand is surging and China imports more than a half of its consumption. Peking tries to get adequate supplies from abroad at reasonable prices. However, China faces serious dangers that could disrupt the imports. In order to avoid this risk, Peking builds strategic reserves, diversifies oil suppliers and transfer routes. The thesis examines in what measure diplomacy (through bilateral negotiations, development aid, economic incentives and military cooperation) helps China ensure its energy security.
U.S.- Israeli relations
Šnapková, Patrícia ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
Israeli-U.S. relations are an important factor in the Middle East. The first part of this bachelor thesis deals with the relation between the United States of America and Israel since the very beginning. The special partnership has evolved from an initial moral sympathy to an unusual and unparalleled partnership. In the second part, I try to describe the most important causes of U.S. support for Israel (such as the political clout of Jewish lobby in the U.S., American security interests in the Middle East, religious influence...). The main vehicle for expressing this support has been unprecedented economic, military and diplomatic support.
