Zabranská, Andrea ; Stuchlíková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Bejkovský, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the key project of Chinese foreign policy - the Belt and Road Initiative. The People's Republic of China is trying to revive the historic Silk Road and its success through this initiative. The initiative has also become the flagship of Xi Jinping's new directions in Chinese foreign policy. The aim of this diploma thesis is to capture the main milestones in the development of the Belt and Road Initiative, especially in relation to the Chinese foreign policy; the evaluation of the project and its future, including the reactions of other international relations actors. In the first part, the thesis deals with the theory, i.e. the issue of international relations, foreign policy and the influences that affect it. The second chapter describes the historical Silk Road, strategic importance of the area in which it led, and other selected international projects for its renewal. The third chapter maps the development of the Belt and Road Initiative, the reasons for its origin and its main objectives. The final chapter then evaluates the project in terms of its contribution, threats and other international actors.

Zabranská, Andrea ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Husák, Jan (referee)
This thesis focuses on the current situation of the conflict in Sri Lanka after the civil war. Its aim is to map the conflict from the point of view of its causes, course and in particular the development after the official ending of the conflict in 2009.

The first part deals with the key terms such as nation, nationalism, ethnicity, ethnic conflict and theory of ethnic conflict. The second chapter maps the entire conflict with emphasis on the period of civil war. The third part of work analyses the entire Srilankan conflict and its current development from the theoretical point of view. Simultaneously it deals with the attitude of the international community to this conflict. The final part also concentrates on a possible future development and its potential solutions.
