Reactions of the international community to human rights violations during the Argentine military dictatorship 1976-1983
Baloghová, Andrea ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Holas, Petr (referee)
Argentina can be defined as a country with a long turbulent history. However, at the turn of the 70's and 80's when the country was under the rule of the military junta clearly stands out from this frame. Under the pretext of fight against subversive elements, the army, the police and the intelligence services committed severe human rights violations against citizens who did not approve of the regime or expressed their dissatisfaction with it. The final outcome of this terror were more than 30 000 disappeared people, commonly called desaparecidos, around 500 illegally adopted children and entire families living in the shadow of their sad past until today. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the extent of knowledge of specific actors of the international community (USA and Chile) about the situation in Argentina and to identify their attitude towards the information coming from a country where human rights violations happened on a daily basis. The conclusion aims to assess whether the governments of these three countries operated in some sort of a trilateral relationship, or whether these crimes were a specific internal issue of Argentina.

French cultural diplomacy
Kočvara, Roman ; Nechvátal, Martin (advisor) ; Holas, Petr (referee)
This final thesis aims to clarify the part of diplomacy, which is most visible to the public eye and that is cultural diplomacy, namely the French model. It explains its current institutional structure, financing, the objectives and the means to achieve them. Its form changes very often, because every new government tries to reform it and adapt it to current priorities. For this reason, describing current trends and institutional directionit is a part of the work. Based on analysis of historical context and current practice, I try to point out a long tradition of leadership of French culture in Europe. Also, I seek the answer to the question why the French cultural diplomacy is so successful today.

To what extent does the cooperation and rivalry between Argentina and Brasil influence the development of Mercosur?
Lakosilová, Denisa ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Holas, Petr (referee)
In my thesis, I try to find out to what extent does the cooperation and rivalry between Argentina and Brazil influence the development of Mercosur. In the first part of my thesis I am looking for the reasons that lead to the creation of Mercosur and I conclude that the cooperation between Argentina and Brazil was the key factor that lead to the creation and the development of Mercosur. In the next part of the thesis I support the claim that rivalry between the two countries had an important impact on the development of the integration of the Mercosur countries on a number of concrete examples of disputes between Argentina and Brazil. Lastly, I put the importance of the two countries in the economic context of other countries in Mercosur by analyzing the data from the World Bank and ALADI and show their weight in Mercosur.
