Transnistria in the Russian Foreign Policy
Soušková, Tereza ; Slačálek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Koubek, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the separatist state Transnistria which was created in 1992 with assistance of Russian Federation in terrritory of Moldova. The research deals with analysis of extent of Transinistria autonomy in relation to its patron Russian Federation. This thesis discusses historical development of relations among Moldova, Transnistria and Soviet Union/Russia, and the function of internal and external sovereignity of Transnistria. Together with these issues the thesis deals with the topic of transnistrian identity and how it is influenced by the relations between Transnistria and Russian Federation. This thesis will be discussed as a unique case study with concept application of weak statehood on quasi-state Transnistria. The thesis evaluates to what extent Transnistria acts autonomous according to Russian Federation and according to international community and whether could be Transnistria considered independent participant of international relations.

Conflict resolution in Donbas: Ukraine's contribution
Sergeeva, Oxana ; Kazharski, Aliaksei (advisor) ; Laryš, Martin (referee)
Reference SERGEEVA, Oxana. Enteral Predispositions of the Conflict in Donbass. Prague, 2021. Master's thesis. Charles University,Facultyof Social Sciences,Institute of SecurityStudies. Abstract The Revolution in Ukraine of 2014 has brought a lot of regional and international changes. Even though the crisis appears to be over, the new official authorities of Ukraine and the self- proclaimedDonetsk and Lugansk people's republics are still conflicting.It has commonly been assumed that the armed conflict in Donbas was the result of a latent Russian military aggression against Ukraine and that forces opposing the Ukrainian government do not represent the local populationrather being sponsored by the Russian authority.However, external incentives arguably could not lead to the emergence of a viable and widespread rebel movement unless there were internal predispositions to the emergence of armed separatism. It is vital to address problems within the country to identify domestic preconditions for invasion and conflict incitement. This researchwould argue that a key role in the emergence of the armed separatist movement in Donbas was played by at least two factors: historicallyformed polaritywithin the Ukrainian populationand the structure of the government. Thus, the armed conflict in Donbas was the result of a...

The perpetuation of Frozen Conflicts by De Facto States to gain International Recognition: Case Studies of Transnistria and Somaliland.
Rochambeau, Mathieu ; Riegl, Martin (advisor) ; Ludvík, Jan (referee)
This thesis has for major aim to present the de facto state through another approach, by placing their intrinsic frozen conflict situation as a rational choice rather than a symptom of the lack of recognition. To do so, the case studies of Transnistria and Somaliland have been chosen since, the de facto state's academic field had, so far, focus more on the Caucasus' cases - therefore lack of similar comparisons. It appears indeed that, both these cases possess numerous similarities - such as not basing their identity on ethnicity or religion. Thus, through an empirical research, it has been possible to approach the establishment of these two de facto states and the reason behind the lack of international recognition; but also the role and influence of the frozen conflict within their internal evolution as well as their role in its perpetuation; and finally, the place of their parent state and the international community in the continuation of the status quo. It seems thus that, if it remains unlikely to find out if Somaliland and Transnistria do use the frozen conflict as a political tool to reach their political goals - namely international recognition but also identity building -, it appears that all actors involved in these conflicts do benefit from the perpetuation of such status quo.
