The Economic Diplomacy in Relations between the Czech Republic and Mexico
Marešová, Kateřina ; Peterková, Jana (advisor) ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (referee)
The role of the economic diplomacy is very important for the Czech Republic. Because of the small extent of the Czech Republic and strong international competition it is necessary to have a well prepared presentation strategy of the Czech products, Czech industry and the country in itself. The Czech exporters are mostly oriented towards the European countries, since the business negotiation and communication is easier and more comprehensible than with other non-European countries. Czech exporters, in order to export to Mexico, need to overcome the language barrier and get used to specialities in Mexican negotiating. Few authorities of the Czech economic diplomacy are assisting while undergoing these procedures. CzechTrade, Czech Embassy in Mexico and above all its business-economic section help to arrange contacts and give advice concerning the administrative steps right in Mexico. Czech exporters have more possibilities how to show the interest in cooperation with Mexico, e. g. participating the business mission, fairs or exhibitions. Entry of the Czech Republic into the European Union had a positive effect on the rate of bilateral trade, which proves the trade balance. Although some Czech firms are prospering in Mexico, the market potential of Mexico is not utilized entirely.

Šklebená, Karolína ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
Since its independence in 1963 Kenya has been considered a democratic and non-problematic country, although it had been ruled just by two different presidents until 2002. The transformation to democracy proces followed by improvement of human rights started in 1991 and it took almost twenty years to get rid of some colonial remains in Kenya's legislation. Human rights abuses which peaked during the rule of the second president of Kenya caught attention of international activists and donors during 1990s and due to pressure from inside and outside the situation has began to ameliorate. The adoption of the new Constitution in August 2010 may be considered the biggest success of human rights defenders in the country.

Transformation of national liberation struggle into terrorism - the case of ETA
Lexová, Alžběta ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
Basque separatist group ETA (Euskadi Ta Batasuna) was founded in 1959 to achieve the full independence for Basque country at any price. This thesis puts a question when the nationalist fight for Basque independence, which has started in 19th century, turned into terrorist organization. Until 1975 the actions of ETA could be compared to guerrilla actions, because their attacks were aimed almost exclusively against the representatives of general Franco's fascist dictatorship. After year 1975, although Spain was going through transformation into democratic system, ETA still attacked the representatives of police, army and public servants, till the 1987, when it chose the department store as its target on purpose and this attack caused twenty one dead and forty five injured civilians. Nowadays ETA claims, that the ceasefire, that has been declared in the beginning of 2011, is permanent, general and trustworthy.
