The impact of crises on differentiation and integration in the EU: COVID-19 and Ukraine
Běhunčík, Radek ; Martinková, Viera (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
The European Union has had to deal with an increasing number of crises over the past 15 years. The future of its integration is thus increasingly dependent on concrete crisis responses. At the same time, the increasing heterogeneity of its members makes it more difficult to find compromise solutions, and integration often takes a differentiated path. This paper has attempted to answer the question of what is the impact of crises on the integration and differentiation of the European Union. It did so through an explanatory two-case study of the most recent emergencies - the COVID-19 crisis and the high energy price crisis linked to the war in Ukraine. To find the answer, a congruence analysis of the Union's crisis responses was conducted based on the models of Riddervold et al. The supply and demand theory of differentiation then explained the absence or presence of differentiation. The central data source was the European secondary legislation, frequently neglected by integration theorists. The analysis results find the crises' effects to be pro-integration in the given cases, here primarily in a uniform pattern. However, in the case of COVID-19, the thesis reveals shortcomings of the crisis response models used, pointing to the need for their conceptual reformulation.

Changes in Taiwan-Czech Relations
Chen, Wen-Yu ; Parízek, Michal (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
This thesis aims to shed light on how the evolving Czech-Taiwanese relationship has been reflected in Taiwan. The research encompasses a diverse range of data sources, including governmental foreign affairs annual reports, government-funded scholarships, trade and investment flows, media coverage from selected Taiwanese news outlets, and individual movements between the Czech Republic and Taiwan. With qualitative content analysis and descriptive analysis, the study endeavors to provide conclusive answers to the research question. Given the consideration of the unavailability of research on recent developments in Czech Republic- Taiwan relations, as well as the bilateral relationship itself, this study is poised to identify and evaluate any significant changes in their ties. The research will focus on examining how these changes in bilateral relations have been manifested and perceived in Taiwan. The temporal scope of the thesis spans from 2013 to 2023, encompassing a decade of crucial developments in the Czech-Taiwanese relationship.
Czechoslovakia's relations towards Germany and Austria in the years 1919-1933.
Vokatý, Martin ; Jeřábek, Martin (advisor) ; Guasti, Petra (referee)
This thesis deals with Czechoslovakia's relations towards Germany and Austria in 1919-1933. The main research question is an attempt to find out the differences in the relationship of Czechoslovakia towards Germany in relation to the relationship of Czechoslovakia towards Austria in 1919-1933. In order to answer this question, a comparative analysis of these relations is conducted. The thesis also examines how Czechoslovakia was able to fulfill its foreign policy goals towards both Germany and Austria. The thesis is divided into three periods and this comparative analysis is made in each of them. The dividing line of the thesis is the international conference in Locarno. The comparative analysis shows that Czechoslovakia's relations to Germany and Czechoslovakia's relations to Austria were different. Differences also emerged in the time periods before and after the Locarno International Conference.
Energy policy of the Federal republic of Germany towards the Russian Federation during the Angela Merkel era
Kavan, Vilém ; Jeřábek, Martin (advisor) ; Karlas, Jan (referee)
This thesis focuses on German energy policy towards the Russian federation during Angela Merkel's leadership as Chancellor of Germany (2005-2021). The primary focus is the import of Russian natural gas to Germany and related projects such as Nord Stream and Nord Stream II. The aim of this thesis is to answer the research question of whether the energy interests of the Federal Republic of Germany have led to an increase in its dependence on the Russian Federation. The thesis analyses the German approach towards both their own energy policy and the policy of the Russian Federation and aims to contextualise this with data connected with Russian gas exports to Germany. The analysis shows that the Federal Republic of Germany ran its energy policy towards the Russian Federation independently of Russian policy actions and the wider criticism received from various German partners. The conclusion of the thesis is that the energy policy of the Federal Republic of Germany conclusively led to an increase in its dependence on the Russian Federation.
The Changes in German Foreign Policy after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Čepelková, Kristýna ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
This bachelor's thesis looks into the topic of German foreign policy. The most important question, which this thesis tries to solve, is Which reasons make Germany change their foreign policy? Through the analysis of reasons which led the Federal Republiclic to take part in (by international law unlawful) Operation Allied Force, by which Berlin changed its foreign policy, I try to find out which reasons played a role in deciding whether to help Ukraine in its fight against Russia. FRG did not send weapons and military equipment to conflict zones which is why deciding to help Ukraine again changed German foreign policy. My analysis shows three main groups of reasons that are crucial for German foreign policy. These are normative reasons - "never again" (nie wieder) and "never alone" (nie wieder allein). Then the commitment to international and European institutions is another reason, and lastly their own interests. When deciding whether to join the world in the help for Ukraine, two normative concepts stemming from the complicated German past were at play. Berlin wants to "never again" (nie wieder) lead a war or cause another Auschwitz and it wants to act "never alone" (nie wieder allein). Moreover, the change in German foreign policy was also caused by the commitment of the Federal Republic to...
Colonial discourse of interwar Czechoslovakia
Hořánek, Vojtěch ; Tesař, Jakub (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
The thesis is an analysis of colonial discourse in the interwar Czechoslovakia. Articles from daily press "Venkov" and "Národní Listy" are chosen for the analysis. The procedure is based on Norman Fairclough`s approach, semiotic analysis is executed according to recontextualization analysis of Theo van Leeuwen. The colonialism is defined as a historical structure in accordance with Robert Cox`s theory. To distinguish among those who profited from colonialism and those who did not are used terms "centre" and "periphery". As a result, there is a distinguishing between two main discourses: discourse of superiority and organisational discourse. Part of the discourse of superiority are representation of periphery which depict them at the lower level than centre. Organisational discourse are representations centre politics within colonies and their legitimisations. The colonialism is legitimized mainly through a positive outcome on both centre and periphery. Then, through an authorisation of institutions and agreements. There is an oppositional discourse within the colonial one. It is a critique of colonialism at the system level and a representation of superiority discourse, instead of its presence. Then, the existence of organisational discourse without the superiority one.
British foreign policy in the context of the partition of India
Lacko, Daniel ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
The thesis deals with the decolonization process of the partition of India from 1947 and its consequences. Its goal is to draw conclusions regarding the role of British foreign policy (the British government) in this process, from which two new sovereign states emerged - India and Pakistan, whose relations are still characterized by their rivalry. Specifically, the thesis seeks to answer two research questions. First, whether British foreign policy actions had an impact on the emergence of the Indo-Pakistani rivalry. Second, if so, were those actions the main causes of this rivalry, or were other events (unrelated to British action) responsible for it. In its first part, the thesis also discusses the phenomenon of decolonization from a theoretical point of view. The second part is dedicated to a case study of the partition of India. This part is in the second chapter devoted to a detailed description of the most important events from the period 1857-1947, which has the task of providing the reader with an image of how the partition of India itself took place in 1947 and what was a role that the British played in it. The third chapter, still part of the case study, begins by briefly describing the aftermath of the partition of India and the origin of the Indo-Pakistani rivalry. Then the connection...
