Pospíšilová, Linda ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
The term "National interest" is used very often and in different contexts. Frequently is connected with the sentence:" The aim of our policy is to protect national interests." What actually is national interest? Who decides about it? By which means are national interests asserted? In the first chapter of this thesis are defined following terms: the nation, the state, the ethnic group, the national identity and character. The second chapter is focused on national interest and its different interpretation by basic theoretic approaches of the International relations. The third part works with the term "Diplomacy", particularly with public and cultural diplomacy, which is one of the tools of asserting national interest. In the last chapter are all the findings about the national interest and diplomacy applied on the particular example, Tibet, which is nowadays one of the focuses of tension in the world. To contextualize the issue, I also introduced briefly the history of Tibet, Tibet-China relations, the great powers 'view and the Dalai Lama, who is both the highest spiritual and also mundane leader in Tibet, great diplomat, upholder of the Tibetan's national interest and the human rights in generally.
