President of the French Republic its status evolution within the constitutions and constitutional practice Abstract This dissertation examines the character of French presidency in the republican system from the 19th to the 21st century, with emphasis on analysis of the position of power held by the presidents of the Fifth Republic from 1958 to present. It first examines the brief episode of the Second Republic from 1848-1852, then explains at length the genesis of the weak presidency in the Third Republic from 1870 and its continuation in the Fourth Republic after 1944, as well as the emergence of a strong presidency in 1958. After the historical outline, the majority of the work is focused on the status of the president in the Fifth Republic, in particular the manner of election, the length of his term, and his responsibilities. The following sections analyse the various powers of the President as articulated in the Constitution, according to the bodies to which they relate to in the system of separation of powers.

The Main Pillars of Charles de Gaulle's Foreign Policy and Their Contemporary French Reflection
Staňková, Olga ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Emler, David (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to prove or disprove the following hypotheses: firstly, that the Gaullist foreign policy tradition continues to some extent to influence and provide inspiration for the contemporary direction of French foreign policy; and secondly, that it is almost impossible to apply this policy in the post-bipolar world. (I took this to mean the world since the end of the Cold War...) The thesis will analyse the three relationships - with Europe, with the United States and with the Eastern Bloc - which were the main pillars of Charles de Gaulle's foreign policy. The first section of the thesis will focus on the period of de Gaulle's presidency between 1958 and 1969. The second section will use a case study of French policy towards Germany in order to explore the continuity or discontinuity of this policy in the contemporary political scene, with a neo-Gaullist Jacques Chirac taking his lead from Charles de Gaulle. This section will also briefly analyse the approaches of French presidents between the retirement of de Gaulle and the beginning of the Chirac presidency. It then goes on to focus on the presidency of Chirac, which ended in 2007. The main methods of the thesis will be analysis and case study.
