Sankční politika EU v sino-evropských vztazích
Petrová, Eliška ; Stuchlíková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (referee)
The main objective of this thesis is to assess whether the arms embargo from 1989 removal is an option for the European Union. The paper is divided into two major chapters. The first chapter introduces the theoretical framework of EU sanction policy and restrictive measures. Also, the timeline and reasons for the embargo imposition are described. The second one examines Sino-European relations in terms of political discourse and especially arms trade because both are connected with the topic of the arms embargo. The approaches towards the embargo of all actors are also discussed.

A Legitimacy Analysis of EU Sanctions
Šaturová, Gabriela ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Young, Mitchell (referee)
Political legitimacy has often been addressed in terms of the legitimacy of actors, while the legitimacy of policies as such is relatively neglected. This thesis argues that an analytical distinction between the categories of the actor and its action is necessary, since an actor's legitimacy does not automatically imply the legitimacy of its behaviour; furthermore, in real social discourse, actions are not exempt from legitimacy judgments. The ambition of the thesis is to make use of this research gap and to examine one of the most important tools of the EU's foreign policy by means of an analytical framework of political legitimacy. The selected cases are the current episode of CFSP sanctions against Russia; "appropriate measures" under the ACP Partnership agreement against Zimbabwe; and the informal arms embargo against China. Sanctions dealt with in the first two cases are deemed legitimate, while the arms embargo on China failed to meet the legitimacy criteria. Apart from the findings on legitimacy, two major conclusions can be drawn from the analysis: The lack of internal coherence is impairing the legitimacy of the EU's political measures; and the imposition of sanctions through an institutionalised political framework enhances their transparency in contrast to informal measures.

Sanctions on arms trade during the conflict in Sudan
Vaňatová, Martina ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Druláková, Radka (referee)
This thesis focuses primarily on the international sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council and the European Union on Sudan. The first part analyses the multilateral sanctions from the theoretical point of view, focuses on the arms embargo and describes the process of implementation by UNSC and EU. To put these sanctions into context, the second part deals with the historical course of events in Sudan. The next part describes the development of implemented UN and EU sanctions and emphasizes the current sanctions regime. The supply chain of arms to Sudan can be found in the last part of this thesis, together with the analysis of Sudan-China relationship which is crucial for the conflict resolution.
