Economic Sanction as a substitute for war in nuclear age
Daňhel, Ondřej ; Ludvík, Jan (advisor) ; Kofroň, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of economic sanctions as one of the options to replace conventional war between states that threaten each other with assured destruction. The thesis examines this issue through the case of events on the island of Cuba during the Cold War and the rivalry between the United States, the Soviet Union and the regime in Cuba. For the purpose of the thesis, data relevant to this case are collected in the empirical part. The grounded theory method is then used to establish that in order to confirm the main research question, three events must be found in the data, which must be chronologically consecutive for the relationship to hold. The first of these events is the conventional war, between the United States and Cuba. This event must be followed by a second event, the cessation of these hostilities by the United States for no other reason than the threat of nuclear war, in order to be confirmed. Finally, this second event must be followed by a third event, the use of economic sanctions as a new instrument of war. The thesis concludes that these three conditions occur chronologically in the data, so it is shown in this thesis that in this selected case the United States resorted to economic sanctions as a substitute for a conventional war with a state with which, because of...

The Impact of International Sanctions on the Development of Nuclear Program of Iran and the DPRK
Bejbl, Daniel ; Bříza, Vlastislav (advisor) ; Smetana, Michal (referee)
This bachelor thesis refers about the effectivity of international sanctions - economic and other types - which have been imposed on regimes in Iran and the DPRK to force these states to abandon any efforts leading to gaining their own nuclear capabilities. First, this thesis deals with defining the international sanctions on the level of international law and then examining both cases of their imposition, Iran and the DPRK. In addition there is also mentioned the Nuclear Deal with Iran which was negotiated as an complex international tool to control the Iranian nuclear program, to manage the imposed sanctions and conditions for sanctions to be lifted. In conclusion there is an assessment of the effectivity of the examined sanctions and if they reached the goals for which they have been imposed and a examines the reasons why the sanctions were quite effective in case of Iran but rather failed in case of DPRK.

Economic sanctions as a tool of US foreign policy toward Cuba in the 1960s
Kleiberová, Kamila ; Hornát, Jan (advisor) ; Pondělíček, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on how economic sanctions work and also on their effectivness in a field of internation relations. The first part of the thesis shows an issue which makes the sanctions inefficient. The issue is a third party meaning that the third party can economically help to the sanctioned country. The theory is demonstrated on a case study of Cuban embargo imposed by the United States after 1959. The third party was the former USSR who helped Cuba from their economical problems so Cuba did not have to surrender to American conditions.

Assesment of the Effectiveness of Economic Sanctions: The Cases of Iran and North Korea
Hába, Tomáš ; Ditrych, Ondřej (advisor) ; Plášek, David (referee)
This thesis examines the apparent discrepancy in success between Iran and North Korea when it comes to developing nuclear weapons. Both states at one time sought to acquire nuclear weapons for internal political and external security reasons. But whereas North Korea successfully detonated its first atomic bomb in 2006, Iran was pressured into an agreement in 2015 which put significant restraints on its nuclear programme. This thesis finds that there were multiple contributory factors that lay behind these differing outcomes. Specifically, it finds that while both nations had similar motivations to acquire nuclear weapons, their economic/military capabilities and the external pressure against their ambition differed in one case from the other. The ability of North Korea to deter a potential military attack from the United States together with the regime's ability to rely on its Chinese and South Korean partners for diplomatic protection as well as its own brutality towards its own population played the key role.

Vliv zavedení sankcí na přímé zahraniční investice v Ruské federaci
Liubushkin, Egor
Liubushkin, E. Impact of implementation of sanctions on foreign direct investment in the Russian Federation. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2020. The bachelor thesis deals with the impact of economic sanctions imposed in 2014 on the inflow of foreign direct investment into Russia. The basic tool for meeting the target is to analyse the development of FDI before and after 2014. Conse-quently, the development of FDI inflows into Russia is compared with four econ-omies (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Colombia and the United Arab Emirates), which have a similar economic structure to take into account the impact of the reduce of oil price. The results show that the inflow FDI in the second half of 2014 and 2015. At the same time, this decline in FDI inflows was much larger than in select-ed economies, suggesting that the introduction of sanctions had a key role in re-ducing FDI inflows.

Vliv zavedení sankcí na makroekonomickou stabilitu Íránu
Andrysík, Marek
Andrysík M. The impact of imposition of sanctions on Iran´s marcoeconomic stability. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2020. The aim of this thesis is to find out how the sanctions imposed in 2006 affected the macroeconomic stability of the Iran´s economy. In the first chapter of the theoretical part of this thesis an overview of empirical and theoretical studies dealing with impacts on macroeconomical stability is presented. The chronological outline of sanctions against Iran, imposed due to the nuclear programm, pro-cess the second chapter. In the empirical part of this thesis four macroeconomical indicators are chosen: GDP, inflation, unemployment and exchange rate. Then three countries (Algeria, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan) with similar economical structu-re are chosen for comparison with Iran´s economy. After that the development of macroeconomic indicators in Iran is analyzed, first before the sanctions were im-posed (from 2000 to 2005) and then how these indicators were affected by the sanctions from 2006 to 2016. In the next chapter the comparison between Iran´s indicators and indicators of the other four countries is made. The results of these comparisons suggest that the sanctions imposed by UN, EU, USA and other coutries had a particularly negative impact on exchange rate, inflation, short term development of GDP and the unemployment indicator was least affected.

Vliv zavedení sankcí na makroekonomickou stabilitu Ruska
Ďurišová, Kristína
Bachelor thesis is focused on impact of implementation of sanctions on macroe-conomic stability of Russia. In the first chapter overview of empiric and theoretic studies is processed, which are dedicated to economic impact of sanctions on this stability. In the second chapter chronological overview of implemented sanctions is processed, consequently 4 macroeconomic indicators are selected: develop-ment of GDP, measurement of inflation, unemployment and exchange rate. In the other chapters is analysed progress of these indicators before and after imple-mentation of sanctions. This development is consequently compared to develop-ment of the same indicators in the countries, which have similar economic struc-ture as Russia. The results of this comparison indicates, that sanctions had only small impact on development of unemployment, bigger impact on development of GDP and strongly influenced inflation and exchange rate.
