Neutrality of Sweden as EU Member Country
Bohatová, Martina ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
Sweden is currently viewed as a small country of North Europe. However, it can be proud of a long historical tradition with a number of political successes -- the fact that there has not been a war for more than two hundred years due to neutrality can be considered as the biggest one. The neutrality is perceived as a politico-security conception. The thesis tries to sum up the perception of Swedish neutrality, to chart its changes in time and to measure its compatibility with the EU membership through the observation of the Swedish foreign policy, the participation in Common Foreign and Security Policy, Common Security and Defence Policy and the preparation of the EU Council Presidency. The aim is to confirm the hypothesis that Sweden is due to changes in the perception of neutrality concept the full member of the European Union also in such complex things as Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy.

The Role of Neutrality in the EU
Herbstová, Michaela ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (referee)
Neutrality is a political concept that can be observed in practice for several centuries. However, this concept is not an immutable but rather a variable one. The change of its form can also be seen in the evolvement of Swedish security policy. Sweden has long been seen as neutral state, but its security policy underwent a gradual transition within the years. Therefore, this thesis offers an analysis of transition of Swedish security policy since its beginning until nowadays and provides a closer focus on the mutual relationship of Swedish policy of neutrality and CSDP within the EU.

EU Operations as an Instrument of the Common Security and Defence Policy
Nechanická, Barbora ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
The Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) noted a relatively fast progress during its eleven-year existence. Its main task is to deploy operations abroad. This bachelor thesis analyses their development emphasising the civilian operations. After the introductory general characteristic of CSDP the thesis deals with the tasks of the operations, military and civilian capabilities development and with the institutional framework including the changes brought about by the Lisbon Treaty. The practical aspects are examined by the case study of the police operations Proxima and EUPAT in Macedonia. Despite several shortcomings they can be evaluated as successful. The thesis argues that civilian operations are for the CSDP at least of the same importance as the military ones. Not only are they more numerous but also their ambitions are growing. The EU has become an important security actor, also owing to the civilian operations.

Venkrbcová, Martina ; Musil, Martin (advisor) ; Musil, Martin (referee)
Bakalářská práce popisuje snahu Evropské unie o vlastní bezpečnostní politiku. Nejprve vznik Společné zahraniční a bezpečnostní politiky, a poté postupné vyčleňování Evropské bezpečnostní a obranné politiky. Práce přibližuje první uskutečněné mise EBOP a jejich význam pro EU. Dále popisuje vznik NATO, jeho vývoj v období před a po studené válce, a také nutnost transformace NATO. U obou organizací jsou přiblíženy síly rychlé reakce a u EBOP také nově vznikající bojové skupiny. Práce poukazuje na vztahy České republiky k oběma organizacím. A v neposlední řadě naznačuje problémy a výhody transatlantických vztahů, a dále také problematické vztahy obou organizací s Ruskem.
