Simanová, Lenka ; Riegl, Martin (advisor) ; Kuľková, Miroslava (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyse a perspective of acquiring an independence of Iraqi Kurdistan. With an application of normative theories of secession a first objective of the thesis is to prove that independence demands from leaders of Iraqi Kurdistan are really justified and that an autonomous region really meets the requirements of normative theories and so it is entitled to the secession. Subsequently, in order to find out the perspective of acquiring the independence of this autonomous unit in relations to selected regional and international political agents, the thesis applies a theory of Milena Sterio, American professor of law. This theory emphasizes the role of 'greatpowers' in a process of achieving the independence of states. The theory of Milena Strio is based on a precondition that a political unit trying to acquire its independence will not be successful in its aim until it gets an approval from the most powerful regional and international political agents.

The thesis also deals with a character of a recognition regime of states. It points out the current recognition of states is...

Analysis of the geopolitical relationships between Iraqi Kurdistan, regional and global actors
Sommer, Filip ; Jelen, Libor (advisor) ; Lepič, Martin (referee)
Iraqi Kurdistan represents an entity capable of acting independently in international relations. This thesis evaluates its geopolitical position based on an analysis of relations with regional and global actors operating in the region. Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria are considered as regional actors because they are inhabited by a significant Kurdish population and can thus influence the possible formation of Iraqi Kurdistan. United States and the Russian Federation are considered as global players. The analysis examines the statements of the top representatives of all these entities and is carried out in the period from 2013 to 2017. Its aim is to find out how the geopolitical situation of Kurdistan in Iraq has changed as to the major events that have taken place in these years. These include the arrival of the Islamic State in the region in June 2014 or the declaration of the Kurdish referendum on independence in September 2017.
