Critical assessment of the Arctic's geostrategic importance during World War I and World War II
 Pastorková, Sabrina ; Valková, Irena (advisor) ; Kofroň, Jan (referee)
in English This work is devoted to the role of the Arctic region during World War I and World War II. It is aimed to assess the strategical importance of the Arctic based on the analysis of classical geopolitical theories of Sir Halford Mackinder and General Karl Haushofer. The analysis is supplemented by historical outline of military activities in the Arctic during world wars. The method used in this interpretative study of the role of the Arctic region is comparison. We use historical-analytic approach which takes into account the role of system structures of macrosocial features and specific behaviour of actors in particular cases. It is a basic attempt to a comparative history which is a part of the analytical- descriptive comparative study. We compare different approaches of the classical geopolitical theories towards the Arctic region. Subsequently, we focus on military activities from the beginning of the World War I till the end of World War II in the Arctic. We deal with significant issues such as resources, transport routes or the role of Alaska. The work is concluded by critical assessment of their approaches and their potential correlation with military operations of World War I and World War II.
