European Union - A Normative Power? Testing European Neighbourhood Policy in the Mediterranean
Strýčková, Katarína ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Najšlová, Lucia (referee)
Normative Power Europe theory presented by Ian Manners defines the European Union as a normative actor in international relations. According to him, EU's ability to change what passes for "normal" in international relations originates from its internal set-up which the EU uses to shape its environment and international norms in its own image. After first studying Manner's tripartite analysis and defining normative goals, means and impact of the normative policy, the thesis then proceeds to test normative theory in the European neighbourhood, particularly in the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, by analysing EU's democracy and human rights promotion in Tunisia. It identifies discrepancy between EU's goals and means and discovers that on the one side, Euro-Mediterranean cooperation improves socio-economic development, however on the other it impedes the political one. This finding reflects incoherence and inconsistency of the EU's policies in the Mediterranean and arrives to the conclusion that EU is not a normative power in its neighbourhood policy.
United States and Israel: A Special Relationship? US Foreign Policy towards Israel, 1956-73
Strýčková, Katarína ; Raška, Francis (advisor) ; Bečka, Jan (referee)
The B.A. thesis "United States and Israel: A Special Relationship?, U.S. Foreign Policy Towards Israel in 1956-73" analyses the development of U.S.-Israeli relationship on the background of the regional development in the Middle East in 1956-73. The thesis focuses mainly on the American-Israeli military cooperation, more particularly on the American arms supply to Israel. It analyses the emergence, development and the intensity of the special relationship between Washington and Jerusalem through the key events of the Arab-Israeli conflict, such as the Suez Crisis, the Six Day War and the Jomkippur War, and other regional crisis in the Middle East. The relationship had a crucial significance for the United States. It helped to stabilize the region, to prevent further soviet influence in this area and thus protect American geostrategic interests.
