France's attitude towards the United States, whose influence in Europe was France trying to limit, was positively assessed, but France's rapprochement with West Germany was viewed...

The sources of thoughts of the Czechoslovak foreign policy after 1989
Česenková, Adéla ; Druláková, Radka (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Petr (referee)
The bachelor thesis explores the sources of thoughts of the Czechoslovak foreign policy after 1989. The first aim of the thesis is to formulate general principles that laid foundations for the foreign policy planning. This is achieved by analysing the ideas of the three principal foreign policy representatives in the years from 1989 to 1992: president Václav Havel, minister of foreing affairs Jiří Dienstbier and prime minister Marián Čalfa. The second aim of the thesis is based on the analysis of the goals of the foreign policy after 1989 that captures the implementation of the respresentatives' sources of thoughts into the foreign policy planning and potential deflections from the original thoughts. In conclusion, majority of the principles formulated on the basis of a synthesis of the representatives' sources of thoughts influenced the foreign policy planning. Some deflections concerning the security cooperation in Europe were noticed.
