The future of the Responsibility to Protect after experience in Libya and Syria
Komm, Tomáš ; Bílková, Veronika (advisor) ; Ondřej, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the future of the concept of Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and focuses on prospects of the concept after the conflicts in Libya and Syria. Concept of R2P was developed in 2001 as a reaction to the genocide in Rwanda and Srebrenica and attempts to bring an answer to the question, how to react in the situation when a sovereign state fails to protect its population against crimes under international law. In this thesis I examine the application of the concept in Libya and reasons why it was not applied to a similar situation in Syria. I also deal with the subsequent debate which was held on the international stage after experience with these conflicts and I analyse proposals, which were brought into this debate focusing on how to move the concept forward or modify it.

Politics of "splendid isolation" and the problem of the British-German relations 1890-1904
Komm, Tomáš ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Moravcová, Dagmar (referee)
The Bachelor thesis The Policy of "Splendid isolation" and the Anglo-German Relations 1890-1904 examines the nature of Anglo-German relations at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. In this period, Britain abandons her policy of "Splendid isolation" and from 1898 to 1901 negotiates an alliance with Germany. However, these negotiations fail and both Powers come into conflict in the Great War, 15 years later. This study aims at the concept of "Splendid isolation" and tries to find factors, which enabled Great Britain to maintain such a policy, as well as reasons which led to its end. In addition, this study analyses key affairs, which influenced mutual relations of both Powers. Particular chapters are arranged according to the time perspective and deal with: the policy of the "New course", Heligoland treaty, the inflouence of Liberal government in 1892-1895, German attempts of creating Continental alliance, Krüger telegram, German naval programm, Weltpolitik, Alliance negotiations and finaly Anglo-Japanese treaty in 1902 and Entente cordiale in 1904. This Bachelor thesis is a case study and uses the empirical-analytical approach.
