The Inception of a Global Issue: Administration's Approach to Obesity in WHO
Maňásková, Martina ; Doležal, Tomáš (advisor) ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (referee)
The concept of global governance is nowadays commonly used for studying international relations. The goal of this thesis is to analyze the nature of global governance in health sector, to discover how the main participants involved in international relations react to new challenges that arise, specifically how they react to the case of obesity. Global governance occurs on multiple levels; WHO occurs at the global level whereas individual national states occur at the lower level. This thesis answers the questions to topics such as: how the global health governance's politics are made, whether obesity represents a threat and how various participants that are involved in international relations coordinate their steps towards fighting obesity, on which levels they coordinate their agenda and for whom they are working for when fighting obesity.

The second part deals with the environmental security in the last century and new circumstances of 21st century. The third part deals with the activities of actors who securitize the topic of climate change. Mostly with activities of United Nations as the world's most important organization in providing protection and human security.
