Soviet support of North Vietnam during Indochinese Wars
Balaš, Jan ; Čížek, Martin (advisor) ; Litera, Bohuslav (referee)
This thesis deals with Soviet support of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam since its formation in 1945 until the end of the Second Indochina Conflict. Based on the study of secondary sources, this work tries to chronologically describe its development with highlighting the crucial moments that have influenced soviet support. Through this research, this work concluded that the intensity of soviet support was directly dependent on the current needs of Soviet foreign policy in relation to the Cold War and relations with the Western powers, respectively within the communist bloc and relations with China. As to relations with the West, the Soviet Union sought to improve those relations and the support to the Vietnamese communists held to the extent that it did not directly abolish these efforts.

In the context of China, this work points to the opposite phenomenon. The power struggle within the Communist bloc and the struggle for influence in Vietnam has, on the contrary, provoked increased support in efforts to overcome its competitor. The main contribution of this work is a comprehensive chronological analysis of the...

I, above all, contemplated about the way how to truly scientifically, i.e. credibly, it means in the maximum possible the limits of verifiability, develop a full work that could hold up to the colleagues from the scientific community and myself. It is logical it was and is my attempt to allow minimal possibility of any criticism of this work for its formal, content, or other deficiencies. First, I decided to analyse in some detail the currently known theoretical approaches and methods of study, not only in political sciences, especially those used by political geographers, but also in other related fields, especially in the field of study of international relations, sociology, political science or general security studies.

The thesis aims to conclude whether the model of masculinity crisis, as drawn by the author of the thesis on the experience of the OECD countries, is also applicable to the male society in the reform PRC. The thesis focuses on masculinity crisis among men who are since the Mao Zedong presidency and throughout the reform period employed within the secondary sector of Chinese economy. Deindustrialisation and servitisation in OECD countries let to a significant increase of female employment which changed the traditional gender roles. Men's leading position in both family and society, as stemming from the position of family's primary breadwinner, was marginalized. Men experienced loss of both economic and psychological securities. These losses are believed to have resulted in a "crisis of masculinity". In China, however, the macroeconomic reforms often helped to restore the position of the primary breadwinner, lost due to the Mao's employment policies in 1950s.
