Road to Camp David and beyond: Ripeness and Third-party Mediation of the Israeli-Egyptian Conflict
Nemčovská, Ľubomíra ; Kalhousová, Irena (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
This thesis analyses the conflict resolution process between Israel and Egypt and provides a new angle for explaining the signing of the first Arab-Israeli peace treaty. Author uses a case study research method that facilitates an in-depth analysis of the topic and answers to three selected research questions: Why did long-lasting hostile countries engage in the negotiations to resolve their conflict?, How did Jimmy Carter mediate the Camp David Summit? and What persuaded Israel and Egypt to finalize the peace treaty?. The thesis is divided into two main analytical parts, according to the theoretical model used for its examination of the research questions. The first part makes use of William I. Zartman's theory of ripeness and its concept of a "mutually hurting stalemate" to explain why two opposing parties might become gradually open towards finding a "way out" from their protracted conflict. By analysing these conditions to reach a "ripe moment", the third-party may produce substantial proposals to resolve their dispute.

Mediation as a method of international dispute resolution
Hána, Lukáš ; Peterková, Jana (advisor) ; Havlová, Radka (referee)
Mediation is currently the most frequently used method for the resolution of armed conflicts in the international relations. Thanks to the participation of a neutral third party as a mediator it is possible to conduct peace negotiations even in the cases when participants are not willing to communicate directly with each other. The study summarizes the basic theoretical knowledge concerning the mediation, describes mediator's role, different forms and styles of mediation and other factors, that have influence on it. This knowledge is applied to the two case studies. Summits in Camp David in 1978 and 2000 are described in terms of initial conditions, course, participants and their styles of negotiation and last but not least their success. By comparing these two summits, the author formulates conclusions, which reflect the mediation efforts by the United States of America in their endeavor to settle the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and which highlight the greatest difficulties of the peace talks.
