This thesis, entitled "Analysis of the special relationship between the US and the UK from the Clinton administration to the Trump administration", aims to provide a comprehensive overview of this Anglo-American alliance, in the mentioned period. The work is anchored on the concept of the concept of "special relationship", which has established itself in political practice to describe the political, diplomatic, cultural, economic, military and historical relations between the United Kingdom and the United States. The first opportunity for this concept to become popular was after it was used in a speech in 1946 by the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who tried to ensure Anglo-American cooperation in the post-war period. From that moment on, this unofficial term serves to describe transatlantic cooperation between the two nations, across all regions. This transatlantic cooperation did not end during the Cold War, but on the contrary, the two states were able to cooperate very closely in averting the communist threat.

Čermáková, Zuzana ; Kozák, Kryštof (advisor) ; Sehnálková, Jana (referee)
Bachelor thesis The Comparison between Health Care Reform of W. Clinton and Health Care Reform of B. Obama deals with the health care system of the United States of America. The aim is to explore the mechanisms for securing affordable health coverage of the reform proposals of the last two Democratic presidents of the USA, The National Health Security Act and The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Despite a lapse of more than fifteen years the goals of proposals were the same. Both presidents called for reducing the federal deficit and the number of uninsured Americans. Analysis of the bills shows there are many similarities in the mechanisms for ensuring health insurance. Even if President Obama adopted a more conservative approach than President Clinton, both reform proposals were based on the system of managed competition and on the state intervention.

Rationalisation of the US Welfare State in the 1980s and 1990s
Dusil, Jakub ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
The thesis deals with changes in attitude towards the US welfare state in the 1980s and 1990s, when its classical (liberal) concept was outshined by a more rational attitude of conservatism. Through a reduction in the number of welfare recipients President Reagan wanted to terminate the growth trend in the cost of social security. His provisions, however, caused a reduction in work incentives of welfare recipients and a significant decline in income of these people. Along with measures positively motivating to work President Clinton limited eligibility for social benefits and caused significant changes in the behavior of groups of people most dependent on these revenues. Analysis in the last part is focused on the effects of these measures on American society and changes in the well-being of various groups of the population. Findings show that Clinton was able to exploit the good economic conditions of the late 20th century better than Reagan. His social reform caused a more significant decrease in the number of those receiving social benefits, which was also accompanied by improvements in living conditions of US citizens - by growing self-sufficiency through increased labor participation and a decrease in poverty.

U.S.-Chinese Relations 1992-2008, Comparison Clinton - Bush, PRC -Taiwan
Sasková, Lucie ; Krátký, Karel (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
Fifty years after declaration of the People's Republic of China in October 1949 and thirty years after U.S. establishment of full diplomatic relations with PRC in January 1979 the question of Taiwan still remains one of the main and sometimes even very explosive topics in Sino-American relations. This fact proves how important the fate of Taiwan is for the USA as well as for the PRC. This paper compares American foreign policy toward China over Taiwan during Clinton administration (1993-2001) and Bush administration (2001-2009). Based upon analysis of historical development of American relations to China the cornerstone for the policy toward the PRC and Taiwan is presented. This cornerstone characterised by strategic ambiguity represents ground for the comparison of both presidents.
