Bulan, Jiří. Je třeba reformovat české zpravodajské služby? Praha, 2011. 101 s. Diplomová práce (Mgr.) Univerzita Karlova, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut politologických studií. Katedra mezinárodních vztahů. Vedoucí diplomové práce Gen. Ing. Andor Šándor. Abstract The thesis is a comparative analysis of the Czech intelligence system. It is trying to answer how and whether or not to reform the Czech intelligence services on the basis of scholarly articles and especially interviews with current and former intelligence officials and particular politicians. It turned out that among some of the Czech intelligence services and even within those services prevails the tense atmosphere, which had been caused by various personal failings. All the cases were the individual personal excesses, not the system errors. Representatives of the services assesses the ability to detect security threats very critically. The services miss particularly tight government management as well as the independent overview of the service operations. How to improve the intelligence services work? The intelligence community must establish a common vision that will emerge from a deeper internal discussion only. It is not possible to reform the system without it.

Presentation of the Czech Republic in the United Kingdom
Brichová, Eva ; Müllerová, Františka (advisor) ; Milarová, Veronika (referee)
The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to describe and analyse the presentation of the Czech Republic in the United Kingdom. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter introduces the reader to the concept of nation branding, the image of the Czech Republic abroad (including on the basis of my own survey) and attempts by the Czech Republic to improve its presentation. The next three chapters deal with activities of government agencies, especially those with the aim of promoting the Czech Republic. The second chapter shows the importance of economic diplomacy, its players (Czech embassies, CzechTrade and CzechInvest) and the UK as a trading partner for the Czech Republic. The chapter concludes with a comparison of British and Czech business meeting styles. The third chapter examines the efforts of CzechTourism to promote the country as a tourist destination, while the fourth chapter follows the presentation of Czech culture in the UK by the Czech Centre London. Emphasis is placed on the activities of 2012 and the project of the Czech House during the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
