The United States' influence on Northern Ireland conflict resolution
Lukášová, Hana ; Říchová, Blanka (advisor) ; Kotábová, Věra (referee)
This thesis' topic is The United States' influence on Northern Ireland conflict resolution. The Norther Ireland conflict has its roots in the 17th century, when protestants from Scotland and England started to come to the Ulster region. Religion differences between the inhabitants, most of the original population were Catholics, led over the centuries to the division of two ethnics on the Ulster territory - protestant and catholic. After the partition of the island in 1921 the southern part declared independence, however the Northern Ireland territory remained a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The conflict between ethnics sharpened itself, because most of the Catholics wanted to united the island under Irish rule (the republicans), while protestants wanted to remained in the union with the Great Britain (the unionists and the loyalists). At the end of the 1960's the conflict turned itself into a violent one and the attacks and killing continued for the next thirty years during the period called "the Troubles." The conflict was settled by the end of the 1990's with a contribution of the governments of the Republic of Ireland, the Great Britain and the US. The description part of this thesis narrates the conflict in Norther Ireland, its roots and attempted...

The Development in the Northern Ireland after the Good Friday Agreement (1998-2008)
Čapková, Zuzana ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Dopita, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor deals with an ethnic and religious conflict which divided in recent years the society of Northern Ireland into two irreconcilable communities. The negotiations brokered by the Irish and the British governments between major political parties in Northern Ireland in the late 90s opened space for a new phase of the peace process which ended in the signing-up of the Good Friday Agreement. The Agreement enabled to set a government and for the second time to reiterate the devolution suspended in 1974 because of the 1969 violent clashes. This work analyses a ten-year-long development in the province after 1998 underlying the political situation, the accomplishment of the peace process and the convergence of the population. Treating the operation of the new institutions based on the cooperation within Northern Ireland, between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and between the Irish and the British governments, in the centre of the attention there is a decommissionning process which has split up considerably political participants and Northern Irish society and has prevented for a long time from dealing a compromise. Among the other issues is to impose the reform of the police service and the review of the criminal justice system, to contribute to reconciliation of the population of...

Ročejdlová, Markéta ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (referee)
The Abstract The work "The Impact of the Good Friday Agreement on the Protestant Community" deals with the Protestant community in Northern Ireland in the period between signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 and the St. Andrews agreement in 2007. The object of analysis is the change in perception of the Catholics, the Great Britain, Republic of Ireland and the Protestant community by itself in the relation to the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, respectively its three principles (right to self-determination, power-sharing and parity of self esteems). The work is divided in several chapters. The work contains chapter describing the Good Friday Agreement and the profile of Protestants in 1998 and further chapters for each of the principles and their impact on the Protestant community. Thanks to more or less successful implementation of the Good Friday Agreement and the lost of the hegemonic position there was a significant shift in the identity of the Protestant community. The shift was accentuated by the intertwined religion, etno-national and political identification. After the 1998 there was a weakening of the ties with Great Britain and the British identity at the advantage of the identity Northern Irish. During the examined period the shift from the tradition division of the Northern...

Conflict in Northern Ireland: from the causes of the conflict to the peace process
Nechybová, Klára ; Vymětal, Petr (advisor) ; Bobková, Eva (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the long-time conflict in Northern Ireland, specifically on the causes of the conflict and the development of the peace process. The aim of the work is to clarify the character of the Northern Ireland conflict, when using the cleavage theory of Stein Rokkan. Factors that affected the emergence of the conflict and meant the failure of the peace process are observed. The first part is historically-based and describes the development of the events in Northern Ireland from the 12th century to the island division (1921) thereby it brings preconditions for the emergence of the conflict closer to readers. On the basis of the Northern Ireland political parties the second part explains which cleavages formed the conflict. The third part gives the results of the peace process and presents reasons of its failure.
