Selected elements of global politics: Theoretical aspects, common threads, and empirical divergences in three "liberal" International Relations' approaches
Gasparini, Amedeo ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Kotvalová, Anna (referee)
i Abstract Liberalism encompasses many disciplines. Individual freedom, free-market capitalism, republican form of government, and rule of law are considered to be among its main pillars. The Thesis illustrates an original analysis of three partial "liberal" theories of International Relations (IR) - referred to as "approaches" because of their interdisciplinarity - and their main scholars' considerations vis-à-vis important selected elements of global politics, with peace as the general background. The three analyzed approaches are Economic Liberalism, Democratic Peace Theory, and Democratic Realism. Keeping into account their differences, traditions, and purposes, the approaches are operationalized through five subchapters - institutions, free-market, international law, conflict intervention, and nationalism - to prove their compatibility, non-contradiction, and possible juxtaposition vis-à-vis these features. Despite some "empirical differences", while looking at the selected-IR issues, the approaches have "common threads", and this is visible when the three frameworks and their top-selected scholars are confronted with the elements. After a general introduction on liberalism, a definition of peace in IR, and a quick overview of Peace Studies, the three approaches are presented in their theoretical...

Kaizl versus Bráf. Economic liberalism versus economic nationalism in Czech lands at the turn of the 19th and 20th century?
Slavík, Jan ; Soběhart, Radek (advisor) ; Chalupecký, Petr (referee)
The bachelor thesis, called "Kaizl versus Bráf. Economic liberalism versus economic nationalism in Czech lands at the turn of the 19th and 20th century?", concerns with economic nationalism in Czech lands and understands it as a definite kind of protectionism. The thesis wants to prove that economic nationalism is aimed only at restriction of competition and for achieve this aim is used national question. The opposite of this interpreted economic nationalism is liberal theory, which gradually disproves with its arguments all the ideas, on which stands economic nationalism. I support my thesis with economic thinking of two important Czech national economists from the end of 19th and the beginning of 20th century, who often devoted to questions of protective measures and liberalism in their works.

Thought of R. W. Reagan and Its Legacy
Pejša, Jiří ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Stočková, Olga (referee)
My thesis analyses thought background of politics in The United States of America in the 1980s. When prezident Ronald Wilson Reagan wins election in the beginning of this decade, America was in economic crisis, many branches were regulated; taxes were so high that economic motivation had been broken and all these elements were made according to Keynesian theory. Ronald Reagan chose other way for his policy; he used new view in economics, especially Supply-side economics, Monetarism and also traditional American values. So the practical policy was based on these idea recommendations. It?s quite sure, that age of this policy called Reaganomics, is very discussed period. This work tries to find an answer if this kind of practising economic policy was successful or not. However, this leading of policy became called "conservative turn in economic policy" and many states accepted this pattern, which had been on principles of economic liberalism.
