Goethe Institut and German Foreign Policy after 1990
Vysloužil, Jan ; Tomalová, Eliška (advisor) ; Handl, Vladimír (referee)
This thesis focuses on programme strategy of Goethe-Institute in the broader frame of German foreign policy between 1990-2020. The theoretical part examines Goethe-Institute though the scope of soft power, public and cultural diplomacy. The development and the change of priorities of the Goethe-Institute are also outlined. Additionally, the independence of the Goethe-Institute from the German government is taken to account. A case study of the Goethe- Institute in Prague then proves a shift in priorities of the institute from bilateral Czech-German agenda to European topics. This shift is shown on specific examples of events held between the year 1991 and 2020.
