Changing Public Opinion in Finland on NATO Membership in the Context of the Ukrainian Crisis
Kratinová, Dominika ; Plechanovová, Běla (advisor) ; Knutelská, Viera (referee)
Finland is nowadays a prosperous Nordic country, a member of the European Union, supporter of the EU-Russian relations and is one of the most developed economies in the world. Finland still has a unique role in maintaining friendly relations with Russia and therefore we can assume that Finland does not pursue NATO membership, because it would most definitely be perceived as threatening by the Russians. The Ukrainian crisis changed views of many people on Russian foreign relations and made the public, politicians and entire countries question what is Russia capable of and whether it should be perceived as a threat. Because of the Ukrainian Crisis, opinions in Finland are changing and developing and the NATO membership is seen from a brand new perspective and the much treasured policy of nonalignment is being reconsidered as well. That is the issue that I am going to research and examine in this thesis. I will describe changes in public opinion on NATO membership and general safety of Finland, because this public opinion has varied over the last decade and the Ukrainian crisis was the reason for these changes. In order to find answers to these issues, I performed a complex analysis of information coming from several sources, as well as results of research of public opinion and interviews with Finnish...

Why is Israel not in the EU?
Houdek, Kryštof ; Bečka, Jan (advisor) ; Weiss, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis considers Israel's potential membership in the EU. The hypothesis is that the EU and Israel share a common interest in regards to Israeli membership. Yet, national states within the EU would block Israeli requests because of ideological bias. The first part of the thesis describes the attitudes of Israeli politicians and of the public in regard to entry to the EU. Then, I will illustrate the wide economic, security and research cooperation between the EU and Israel. The second part illustrates the attitudes of european politicians of all stripes. Lastly, I will describe the strategic interest of the EU on Israeli membership. The research question asks, simply, why Israel is not in the EU. The answer is divided into two parts. One part analyses legal documentation from the EU in order to prove that, on a legislative level, Israeli membership does not face any significant obstacles. The second part attempts to prove that in terms of national states there is an opposition strong enough to stop such an initiative. The work combines two theoretical approaches: liberalism and neorealism. Liberalism argues in favour of mutual cooperation. Neorealism explains why such cooperation has no chance of fulfilment. The research includes content and discourse analysis of statements made by...

The position of the governments of Gerhard Schröder on Turkey's accession to the European Union
Volfová, Barbora ; Handl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Kunštát, Miroslav (referee)
The following thesis deals with the pro-Turkish policy of red-green coalition in Germany during 1998-2005, which represented a turning point in German Turkish policy, because it did not follow the anti-Turkish policy of Helmut Kohl. Also today it represents an unique policy - nor the current Chancellor Angela Merkel initially followed it, whose image of Europe is incompatible with the membership of Turkey in the European Union. Based on an analysis of the most important debates held in the Bundestag under the red- green coalition government, where was discussed the Turkish question, the thesis tries to answer the question why the government of Gerhard Schroeder/Joseph Fischer supported Turkey's accession to the EU. It concludes that in the speech acts of individual government officials and MPs of the governing parties intermingled both strategic arguments and arguments corresponding with the classic postwar milieu shaping strategy that aims to influence the milieu beyond the borders of the national state. Strategic arguments gained in importance due to three international events that shook the world during the governments of Schroeder/Fischer and which tightened the active Turkish policy. It was the conflict in Kosovo, September 11, 2001 and the war in Iraq. However, these international events only...

The Czech political parties' statutes
Petráš, Ondřej ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Švec, Kamil (referee)
Bachelor thesis studies the subject matter of the Articles of three Czech political parties - Social democrats (ČSSD), Christian People's Party (KDU-ČSL) and Civic Democratic Party (ODS). It aims to describe in the most detailed way how Articles have evolved in twenty-five year period since the Velvet revolution until today. The paper focuses on membership in those parties, how it is established, how it can be canceled and what rights and duties are jointed with the membership. Thesis also describes party's bodies, their mutual relationships and powers they have towards the regular member (and conversely). Parties' inner democratic principles and their impact on parties' structure nor topics as membership fees aren't omitted. Research method chosen for the thesis is qualitative analysis of more than forty documents, some of which are older than twenty-five years. They have been archived by Ministry of the Interior of the Czech republic. Based on political science theories the author derives four hypotheses, which he subsequently verifies by studying law as a system of obligatory rules, which parties have to project into their Articles and organizational structure and parties'Articles themselves as formal prescriptive to obey.
