Right after the vote a series of possible causes and consequences occurred. This bachelor thesis "Interpretations of a negative result of the British parliament vote on military intervention in Syria" tries to systematically analyze possible causes and identify the main factors, which contributed to the negative result.

Sýkora, Marek ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Kasáková, Zuzana (referee)
Bachelor thesis The Analysis of British Parliamentary Debate in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict between 2010 and 2015: The Comparison of Political Parties' Stances towards the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict deals with the stances of major British political parties, the Conservative Party, the Labour Party and to lesser extent also the Liberal Democrats, towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The thesis at first thoroughly examines through an analysis of parliamentary debates in 2010-2015 the stances of concerned political parties towards three important aspects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - the issue of recognition of Palestinian state on bilateral level, the issue of enhanced status of Palestine in the United Nations and the issue of some form of economic sanctions against the Israel or against the Jewish settlement in the West Bank. In subsequent comparison main dissimilarities and similarities are identified in stances of concerned political parties. In the end the thesis answers the question, whether the stances of political parties in question towards Israeli- Palestinian conflict falls within the confines of traditional bipartisan consensus in the foreign policy between the Labour Party and the Conservative party or not.

Pískačová, Tereza ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
Projekt Bakalářské práce Jméno : Tereza Pískačová Email : 81359738@fsv.cuni.cz Semestr : Letní Akademický rok : 2020/2021 Název Práce : Komparace britské Konzervativní strany Občanské demokratické strany v letech 2005 až 2016 Předpokládaný termín dokončení : Letní semestr, 2020/2021 Vedoucí bakalářské práce : PhDr. Josef Mlejnek PhD. Základní charakteristika tématu : Konzervativní strany jsou tradičními stranami napříč Evropou, většinou se jedná o strany s velkou voličskou základnou a tudíž disponují velkým vlivem. Conservative Party ve Velké Británii je jednou ze dvou nejsilnějších stran. V roce 2005 se do vedení strany dostal historicky nejmladší vůdce a premiér David Cameron a spolu s ním došlo i ke změně ve směřování strany. Do popředí se dostala sociální politika a také ochrana životního prostředí. V České republice je myšlenka pravicového konzervatismu reprezentována stranou ODS, která vznikla na začátku devadesátých let minulého století v čele s Václavem Klausem. Ten dlouhou dobu určoval směřování této strany a stál v jejím čele řadu let. Václav Klaus je známý svým euroskepticismem a kritikem environmentalismu - jeho vliv na stranu je dodnes patrný. Cílem práce bude porovnat programy obou konzervativních stran a to především v oblasti environmentální politiky, sociální politiky a ochraně tradičních...
