Taiwan and its influence on mutual relations and rivalry between the USA and the PRC
Krigl, Vladimír ; Slačálek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Křížkovský, Matyáš (referee)
This thesis will focus on what influence Taiwan has on the mutual relations and rivalry between China and the United States of America. The thesis will focus mainly on the events after 2012, when Xi Jingping took office as the Chinese president, which resulted in a transformation of Chinese foreign policy. The research will be conducted using the theoretical concepts of the Thucydides Trap and the Security Dilemma. In the second part of the thesis, using the scenario method, it will be investigated what a change in the current status quo in Taiwan would mean for both superpowers.

Green Perspective. Variations of Green Political Thinking in the Czech Republic
Křížkovský, Matyáš ; Slačálek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Bíba, Jan (referee)
The presented work is devoted to the development of Czech environmental movement in 1990's which is accompanied by academic debate about de-radicalisation. The aim of the thesis is to explore what sort of particular changes in the field of political ideas could be identified behind notional de-radicalisation. For this purpose is first laid out the historical context within which the movements were created onto their political ideals. It is followed by an introduction of the theoretical approaches to analyse these ideologies, outlining the basic methodological assumptions for a morphological analysis of the journals of Hnuti Duha. This analysis shows that between the periods 1991-1994 and 1998-2000 can be seen significant ideological transformations that are linked both with the inclination to certain elements of conservative thought and partly an inclination to a non-political politics. Key words green political thinking, ideology, morphological analysis, environmental movement

Green Freedom. Concept of emancipation in ecocentric thought
Reichelová, Tereza ; Barša, Pavel (advisor) ; Křížkovský, Matyáš (referee)
(English) By the time the liberals triumphantly proclaimed the end of history, some environmentalists started to mobilize the public against western modernity by proclaiming the end of nature. For many people, the environmentalist agenda meant a new ideology that could exceed the classical ones; many, on the other hand, understood environmentalism as radically anti-ideological. In this thesis, I'll focus on the relationship between nature and society that lies in the core of both, environmental thought and modern emancipatory projects. I'll try to expose the inherent contradictions that the environmental discourse inherited from liberalism and Marxism.

Sochor, Michael ; Barša, Pavel (advisor) ; Křížkovský, Matyáš (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to describe and to analyse the argumentation of actors of the conflicts over the disputed territories of Cyprus and of the area of Israel and Palestine. The initial point of the conflicts, according to the bachelor thesis, are nationalistic narratives, that, by their nature, are partly responsible for the conflicts. The bachelor thesis is analysing how these narratives were institucionalized, what are the principles of their dynamics and how these dynamics were influencing the actors. The role of the Ottoman Empire and of Great Britain is the matter of analyse, in both cases, too. Key words: Legitimisation of claims, disputed territories, Cyprus, Israel, Palestine, conflict, narative

The Concept of the Lawful Freedom in Kant's Political Philosophy
Křížkovský, Matyáš ; Znoj, Milan (advisor) ; Bíba, Jan (referee)
Isaiah Berlin assigned Immanuel Kant to the theorists of positive concept of freedom tradition. This concept is according to him paradoxical, because it starts with the individual's desire to be his own master and ends at disciplination and coercion. The aim of the bachelor thesis "The Concept of the Lawful Freedom in Kant's Political Philosophy" is to explore the extent to which Kant fits to thus defined tradition of positive freedom and whether he isn't exceptional in some way. This thesis will interpret Kant's concept of freedom in broader context of his practical philosophy, focusing on the relationship between morality and law. KEY WORDS liberty, law, ethic, right, liberalism
