The effect of diplomacy in the field of international relations - a case study of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis
Madarászová, Alexandra ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Voráček, Emil (referee)
Diplomacy is the primary tool for solutions of international conflicts. Its importance can be seen in many historical events, where important political figures were able to agree on compromises and jointly prevent war. Whether it was the Peace of Westphalia terminating the 30-year war conference in Genoa and then signed the Treaty of Rapallo on the readmission of Germany and the Soviet Union in a global world, or the creation of integration structures (NATO and the United Nations), whose primary objective was to maintain international peace and security, all events were a matter of diplomatic means preferences against those military. Thesis deals with this issue applied in the case study of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis. The author focuses on the role and importance of diplomacy in this conflict, its possibilities and limits in its possession and the ways in which diplomacy could prevent current tentions. A significant part of the work lies in the international position of the EU Member States to the conflict and split view prevailing in the US.

Pelánová, Pavla ; Müllerová, Františka (advisor) ; Čechová, Libuše (referee)
The aim of my master thesis was to specify the business and diplomatic protocol in France and answer several questions that I defined. Are there any differences between the facts that we read in books and guides about French business and diplomatic protocol, and the reality? Can we generalize French business protocol and say that it is valid for all sectors and generations of managers? Can we claim that French diplomatic protocol is valid all the time and every single president sticks to it? The first chapter explains all the key terms - protocol, business protocol, diplomatic protocol, business negotiation, etiquette. The second chapter focuses on French business protocol, especially organization and course of business negotiation, dress code and gift-giving etiquette, and finally characterizes a typical French company. The third chapter focuses on French diplomatic protocol, especially on all aspects conserning ambassadors in France. The fourth chapter represents the practical part and gives several practical examples of French business and diplomatic protocol. This part is based on four qualitative conversations with four experts on this domain.

Access to IT via a web browser is increasingly desired means of providing information and communication technology across the whole society, public administration included. This thesis focuses on the possibilities of Cloud Computing employment in the Czech Republic's Public Administration, specifically on the example of Czech diplomatic missions and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to which they are directly subordinated. As a starting point the comparison with the United States, thw Great Britain, Australia, Switzerland, Japan and the European Union is taken. These examples demonstrate that Cloud Computing can work in public administration and that it will remain a trend prevalent in government offices on a global scale. Equally important is the comparison with the situation within the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic, which has already been using Cloud Computing services for couple of years. Based on the comparison with all above mentioned countries, with the Ministry of the Interior and given the international, European and national legal requirements, potential cloud services for email communication and document management system are identified to be envisaged for diplomatic missions and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
