Development and migration policy as instruments of contemporary Turkish geopolitics
Hlavatá, Nora ; Hasman, Jiří (advisor) ; Tureček, Břetislav (referee)
One of the countries that has enjoyed great international interest in recent years is Turkey. The long period of passive foreign policy oriented primarily towards the West has been replaced in recent years by a very active foreign policy focused on its own region. Turkey has included new instruments and activities in its foreign policy that are more in line with the position of the Middle Power. Two of the foreign policy instruments that have become important in Turkey include development aid and migration policy, or more precisely its response to refugee crises. This is also due to the fact that, as a result of the Syrian crisis, Turkey currently hosts more than three million refugees on its territory. The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the changes in Turkey's migration and development policy in the context of its overall foreign policy, as well as the way in which these issues are used to increase its soft power. The more general goal is to try to use the findings to enrich the Two-Good Theory with soft power tools. The Two-Good Theory attempts to explain the behavior of states in terms of their inclination towards maintaining status quo or changing the status quo in different areas of international relations. As shown by the diploma thesis, Turkey used these tools to build its position,...

The Image of the Czech Republic in the Pages of German Newspapers within Context of the European Migration Crisis
Křížková, Veronika ; Emler, David (advisor) ; Šafařík, Petr (referee)
This master's thesis examines the image of the Czech Republic that the German media promote in the context of the European migration crisis. For this purpose, articles from three German daily newspapers dating from 2015 until 2016 were examined. The research was carried out on 186 articles using quantitative content analysis and constant comparative method. Throughout the research the information on when and how the media wrote about the Czech Republic were gathered. In the context of the European migration crisis a recurring image of the Czech Republic was created mainly through the EU perspective, along with the other members of the Visegrad Group. For its rejecting position of the European solution for the crisis, which was supported by Germany, the image of the Czech Republic is rather negative and the state is denounced for lacking. The German media coverage of the Czech Republic was strongly politicized and embodied by politicians. The results of the research can provide an overview of the perception of the Czech Republic by Germany during the European migration crisis. The results can contribute to further research on this current topic as well.

The media representation of the European refugee crisis in selected British newspapers
Kvítková, Alena ; Šafařík, Petr (advisor) ; Váška, Jan (referee)
The present bachelor thesis is concerned with media representation of the European refugee crisis in chosen British newspapers during its peak at the turn of September and October 2015. The aim is to examine a sample consisting of four newspapers - which is balanced in terms of their type as tabloids and broadsheets as well as the party-press parallelism - the frameworks they use and the positivity or negativity of an overall media image of the refugee crisis. At first the thesis analyses media frameworks and media image of the respective newspapers The Guardian, The Times, The Daily Mirror and The Daily Mail, which are in the next step confronted and compared based on the different newspaper types. In this way the tendency towards different portrayal of events in left-wing vs. right-wing newspapers as well as tabloids vs. broadsheets is explored. Another important aspect of this paper is to deduce the overall most frequently used frameworks and the overall image of the refugee crisis from all of the articles from the four newspapers and to confront these results with British public opinion surveys. This allows us to test the theory that refugee crises are often enveloped in negativity or the theory that media and the public influence each other and therefore media can be used as a kind of probe...

ANDĚL, Marek
The topic most frequently covered in the Czech media in 2015 was the migration crisis. This topic is treated in the present thesis by means of frame analysis, resulting in a description of a phenomenon of how media compete for a higher share of the press market through presentation of migration crisis. The research is based on articles on the topic of refugee crisis published in two Czech dailies, Mladá Fronta Dnes and Hospodářské noviny. Applying the concept of frame analysis, the author attempts to compare how and how frequently the two dailies covered the topic in 2015, provides an outline and historical background of the period, and describes the methods employed in the research, in particular the above-mentioned frame analysis.
