Grünvaldová, Tereza ; Plechanovová, Běla (advisor) ; Kučerová, Irah (referee)
Diploma thesis "Decision-making process in the Council of the European Union after the enlargement 2004 - common commercial policy" deals with decision- making in the Council of the European Union and focuses in particular on the negotiations at a lower level. The common commercial policy is the target area mainly because of exclusive competences of the European Community.

A prerequisite for the analysis is the hypothesis, whether it is possible to derive from coalition groups at a lower level of decision-making the later coalitions in the Council of the European union. The analysis is based on reports of the Committee 133, the key body for the Council of the European Union in the common commercial policy in the period from January 2005 to December 2006. The data set was examined by the cluster analysis method.

In a few months' time, the fundamental architecture of the future European security and defence policy was plotted out, and shortly afterwards, Javier Solana was presented as its new head. It was an remarkable detour from the decades-long period of Cold War stagnation during which European cooperation was carried out mostly by the Western European Union and other more or less formal institutions. This work analyses the problem of joint European security from the viewpoint of the United Kingdom, which is not only one of the ESDP inititators, but also a dominant European military player with a rich and complex foreign policy history and, consequently, a finely structured system of needs and preferences. The British have been traditionally seen as a stumbling block of the EU, as an awkward partner in European integration; what are, then, the reasons that moved...
