The Process of Admitting Vietnam to the ASEAN
Doležal, Vít ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Karmazin, Aleš (referee)
1 Abstract In this bachelor thesis, the topic of Vietnam's admission to ASEAN in 1995 is explored. The decision to accept Vietnam into the organization was peculiar given Vietnam's history and the reasons for the organization's creation. The essay aims to answer the question of why the ASEAN members decided to admit Vietnam. Possible reasons for the decision include mutual economic benefit, common security risks, and social or cultural issues. The thesis uses selected theories in international relations to analyze the topic through a chronological-descriptive analysis of various sources, including book sources, articles in periodicals, legislative documents of the organization, and internet sources. The introductory part of the thesis discusses the origin, reasons for formation, and organizational structure of ASEAN. Additionally, three selected theories of international relations are briefly described to examine the possible reasons for and against the admission of Vietnam into the organization. The thesis determines whether these theories are appropriate for this case. The results of this research could provide insight into the admission of other members, such as Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, or explain why East Timor should be admitted in the future, which has unsuccessfully sought membership since its...

Marco Polo and his knowledge of Asian languages
Liščák, Vladimír
Marco Polo (1254–1324) claimed (or rather his editors) that he could speak (and read) in other languages in addition to his own, at least five. We do not know whether Marco – whose skills in his native language (Venetian) seem to have never been strong and were certainly influenced by the fact that he had been away from home for more than half his life – was waiting for an opportunity to describe his experiences, or whether Rustichello, who wrote them down, took the opportunity to practice his craft as a writer. Marco often mentions that people in some regions speak their own language. Although he spoke little or no Chinese, he spoke a number of languages used in East Asia at the time – most likely Turkish (in the Kuman dialect: (lingua) tartara, tartaresce, tartaresche), which was also spoken among Mongols, Arabized Persians, Uighurs, and perhaps Mongolian.

Russian international arms trade: Opportunism or strategy?
Jaroš, Milan ; Ludvík, Jan (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on Russian international trade of conventional weapons. Arms trade had played an important role during the Cold War as a tool to gain influence. Currently, Russia is using it to regain the influence it had lost after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in various regions around the world. At the same time, Russia is the second largest arms exporter after the United States. The thesis briefly addresses past Russian arms trade, but the main focus is on the decade between 2010 and 2020. It answers the question whether Russia currently uses its arms trade opportunistically to only maximalise its economic profit or whether it serves as a part of a larger strategy to balance the influence of the United States. The work focuses on Asia, the MENA region, and Latin America. It analyses circumstances surrounding arms deliveries from Russia into the countries in these regions. The thesis consists of several case studies, which illustrate the evolution of Russian approach towards arms trade. It reaches the conclusion that, for Russia, international arms trade is an important tool to help reach its foreign policy goals. Russia maintains strong and stable relations with the most important trade partners to support its defence industry. At the same time, other countries receive...

China and Its Role in the Transformation of the Current World Order
Safarli, Samir ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Garlick, Jeremy Alan (referee)
The thesis investigates the issues related to the transformation of the world order and China s role in this transformation. The findings of the research confirm that China has been able to establish itself as a global power, and as of today struggles for strengthening its positions as a global economic, military and geopolitical dominator. China s aggressive policies go in contrast with the interests of the United States and the US Western allies, which leads to constantly growing tensions between global powers. The recent development of events related to the issues of Taiwan and North Korea testifies that the opposition between the US and China should be expected to keep growing. This contributes to the steady transformation of the world order, making it more fragile and vulnerable. Any start of direct military confrontation between global powers could put an ultimate end to the existing international balance of powers and status quo, thus brining major damage to global security.
