Matoušková, Martina ; Peterková, Jana (advisor) ; Cibulková, Petra (referee)
The thesis compares Western and Soviet approaches to creating the image of state in the Cold War period. Terms public diplomacy, propaganda and agitation are explained and the Cold War period is covered in the first section. Second chapter depicts American and British approach to the public diplomacy after WW2 and deals with Western methods and tools used to create the image of state abroad. Third section describes Soviet propaganda and its machine of the stated period and the fourth section compares and judges Western and Eastern approaches.

Halt, hands up! Here is the border patrols. Who goes there?
POLÁK, Petr
The aim of my diploma paper is to approximate the period of the divided world in the area of Novohradské hory in South Bohemian region in the twentieth century. The paper is based on many unpublished archive materials, scientific literature and mainly on many interviews with the personal observers living in this area. At first, I try to capture general events at the Bohemian {--} Austrian state boundary from the eldest time to the present. Next chapters deals with the problems of locating border patrols, the lives of members of the Frontier police and the attendance of local people at security of the state boundary. Based on the unpublished materials, the paper introduces destinies of the detained people and the dead who tried to cross the state boundary illegaly. I would also like to mention the main illegal groups of the III. anticommunist revolt, which were operating in the Budweis region, and also the agents of foreign intelligence services. Generally, I try to capture destinies of not only direct victims of the Iron Curtain {--} who were in fact vulnerable runners, but also destinies of soldiers executing compulsory millitary services, who were unfortunatelly forced to execute their national duty {--} to protect the state boundaries of totalitarian regime.

Circumstances associated with announcement of so called Marshall plan
Beran, Jiří ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Krček, Matěj (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyses the situation which ocurred on the field of foreign relations in the two-year period after the World War Two. The main subject of my interest is foreign policy practised by the United States between years 1945-1947. Immediate postwar enthusiasm of president F. D. Roosvelt towards the ongoing colaboration with the Soviet Union was replaced by Truman's much cautious approach. It was Kennan's "Long Telegram" which ment the definite deflection of the White House to consider Stalin as an ally. The friction between world-powers escalated in the first half of 1947. The Congress approved the aid for Greece and Turkey (Truman Doctrine) meaning the oncoming of containment. Following that and regarding the European situation which appeared as a key one for the future worldwide arrangement, the Marshall Plan was announced on the 5th June 1947. My thesis offers answers to the following questions. What stood on the background of the decisions thanks to them the United States have chosen this direction? Did any other alternatives exist? What were the concrete consequences of the new American foreign politics?

The Impact of End of the Cold War on US-European Relation (1991-2001)
Tázler, Radek ; Krátký, Karel (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
Diplomová práce se zabývá euroatlantickými vztahy v politicko-bezpečnostní oblasti po konci studené války. V roce 1991 se rozpadl Sovětský svaz a komunistická hrozba, která se po celých 46 let studené války vznášela nad Evropou, opadla. Tato změna zásadním způsobem změnila postavení Evropy a USA. Spojené státy zůstaly jedinou světovou supervelmocí a sjednocená Evropa se chtěla vymanit závislosti na Spojených státech. 90. léta začínala myšlenkou "globálního světového partnerství" G. Bushe st., končila však tendencí k unilateralistickému přístupu G. Bushe ml. Přesto teroristické útoky z 11. září 2001 demokratický Západ významným způsobem sjednotily. Jestliže se Evropa chtěla stát velmocí podobnou Spojeným státům, pak se jí to ve vojenské oblasti nepovedlo. Přes tyto odstředivé tendence zůstalo mezi Evropou a USA spojenectví, které je vyjádřeny formou spolupráce v NATO.
