Germany as a civilian power after its engagement in Operation Enduring Freedom
Ristemiová, Linda ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bahenský, Vojtěch (referee)
The main subject of this thesis is the status of Germany as a civilian power after its engagement in the war against terrorism, most importantly its engagement in the Operation Enduring Freedom. It is based on the theory of civilian power, mainly on the publications of Hanns Maull and other authors, that worked with this theory later. The following empirical analysis describes particular engagement of Germany in Operation Enduring Freedom. Thesis further discusses political discourse, the discussion in the media and process of the approval of German mandate in the operation. The thesis also mentions German engagement in ISAF, as these two operations were happening simultaneously and it can help the reader understand the difference between them, as well as the controversy of Enduring Freedom, which is the main subject of this thesis. Historical context of Germany as a civilian power and its shift from civilian politics in the 90s helps to establish final arguments. As per theoretical and empirical analysis I point out, that Germany definitely shifted itself from civilian politics, however not entirely. I also take into account the fact that international position of Germany changed rapidly compared to previous century. Therefore the shift from civilian politics is natural development.

Czech Foreign Policy and Feminist Theories of International Relations: Comparative Analysis
Brouková, Jana ; Kratochvíl, Petr (advisor) ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (referee)
Feminist theories of international relations traditionally criticize realism as a representative of masculine values in the international relations. According to the feministic premises, the Czech foreign policy should be highly masculinises in the way of realistic discourse because of very low representation of women in foreign policy processes in the Czech Republic. The aim of this thesis is to analyse feminisation and masculinisation of the Czech foreign policy in cases of three events -- the terroristic attacks from September 11, 2001, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. This thesis points out the plurality of masculine and feminine values. From that reason it is not possible to adapt feminist critic of realism to the Czech foreign policy. The masculine values of the Czech foreign policy are determined more by the liberal constructivism.
