The U. S. Grand Strategy at the Beginnin of the Cold War, 1945-1853
Křiklán, Jan ; Horčička, Václav (advisor) ; Koura, Jan (referee)
(English): The Cold War is a major milestone in world history and the general history of mankind. He created a world order that confirmed Western hegemony over the world for decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, the Cold War did not emerge from nothing. It was created by people after World War II (Americans, Russians, British etc.). Since the defeat of Germany was inevitable, the Allies, together with their disputes on individual issues (Iran, Turkey and Greece), began to create a spawn for the next conflict, which we call the Cold War. This struggle for domination over the world lasted for decades and cost many lives in the name of dubious ideas about social engineering, where it is possible to ,,revolutionize" society from above or manage life according to abstract economic calculations. Behind the phrases of progress was the great power desires of people and politicians, emphasized by the individual ideologies of liberal democracy and Stalinist communism.

Křiklán, Jan ; Ditrych, Ondřej (advisor) ; Franěk, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor thesis has an ambition to map the issue of international justice, focusing on the theory of international justice by John Rawls.
