The Cyprus Crisis in 1974 and the Role of the United Nations
Lauer, Maroš ; Horčička, Václav (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
This thesis explores the impact of the UN on the development of the Cyprus crisis from its beginning until its peak in 1974. This impact is analysed on two levels: 1. Negotiations of the Cyprus Crisis during the UN Security Council and General Assembly meetings and their effects on the escalation of the local situation in Cyprus. 2. Activities of the peacekeeping mission UNFICYP since its establishment in 1964 until the division of Cyprus ten years later. For the purpose of examination of the aforementioned, both detailed historical analyses, as well as theoretical concepts from international relations theory are used in this paper. The paper describes the evolution of the Cyprus Problem as a dynamic process, which needs to be perceived in its full extent, thus it is not concentrated only on the period of 1960s and 1970s, but describes original sources and causes of the conflict.
Does relative power of a state affects tendency toward balancing?

This thesis analyses one of the key components of the neorealistic approach in international relations - the theory of balansing. Unlike the other studies on this topic, this paper doesn't analyse behaviour of the world powers. It also doesn't offer a comprehensive case studies of one particular state. The key unit of analysis in our thesis are all smaller states, which do not belong to dominant actors in their region and therefore have to fight daily for their survival in the anarchic structure of neorealist world system. In this paper we have decided to explore the relation between the two types of states' behaviour and the factors which influence the tendency of the state to choose one of them. According to the neorealist theory, we can distinguish two basic types of the state behaviour - balancing and bandwagoning. Our factors influencing this behaviour (e.g. our independent variables) are power of the state, number of available allies, geographic proximity to the dominant actor in the geographic neighbourhood and the difference in political system of the state and his closest threat. The influence of these factors is analysed in the period from the end of Napoleonic wars until the beginning of WWII. As our thesis analyses a large number of data, we decided to use primarily quantitative research...
