Komm, Tomáš ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Moravcová, Dagmar (referee)
The Bachelor thesis The Policy of "Splendid isolation" and the Anglo-German Relations 1890-1904 examines the nature of Anglo-German relations at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. In this period, Britain abandons her policy of "Splendid isolation" and from 1898 to 1901 negotiates an alliance with Germany. However, these negotiations fail and both Powers come into conflict in the Great War, 15 years later. This study aims at the concept of "Splendid isolation" and tries to find factors, which enabled Great Britain to maintain such a policy, as well as reasons which led to its end. In addition, this study analyses key affairs, which influenced mutual relations of both Powers. Particular chapters are arranged according to the time perspective and deal with: the policy of the "New course", Heligoland treaty, the inflouence of Liberal government in 1892-1895, German attempts of creating Continental alliance, Krüger telegram, German naval programm, Weltpolitik, Alliance negotiations and finaly Anglo-Japanese treaty in 1902 and Entente cordiale in 1904. This Bachelor thesis is a case study and uses the empirical-analytical approach.

"Special Relationship" between the United States and the United Kingdom and its Importance in the Context of War on Terror
Šohájková, Barbora ; Sehnálková, Jana (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
The 'special relationship' between the United States and the United Kingdom has existed since the beginning of the 1940s. During the Second World War, a strong alliance emerged that was based on a defense policy against a common enemy and a shared value principle. Throughout the Cold War, the special relationship evolved from a weakening of mutual relations in 1960s and 1970s to a renewed rapprochement in 1980s, mainly because of the shared opinions of the U.S. President Ronald Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. After the geopolitical changes in 1989 a debate developed over the future of their special relationship. The question was whether (or in what form) the transatlantic alliance will continue to remain. The 9/11 terrorist attacks upon the United States gave the answer to this question and provided the impetus for renewed mutual British-American relations. Immediately after the attacks, the United Kingdom expressed its full support for the US-led fight against terrorism and followed the United States first into Afghanistan and later into Iraq. However, both President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair were strongly criticized that their war engagement, particularly in relation to the war in Iraq, had been unlawful and was based on false evidence supporting the...
