Mise Evropské unie

Abstract

Diploma thesis aims to describe the issue of a Common Foreign and Security Policy development and is focused on European Union’s stance towards foreign missions. Cooperation between EU and NATO as well as mutual agreements plays a significant role in this matter. The Czech Republic and its involvement in these missions represent a crucial part of the thesis. It is possible to detect a significant progress of EU missions, which are becoming more independent on NATO, despite closure of Berlin plus arrangements. The total count of missions is still growing and EU is trying to profile itself as a global player in these issues. When focusing on the Czech Republic and its position in the matter of foreign missions, it is clear that the CR is more NATO oriented. Seeing the latest data this behaviour of the Czech government is still valid even today, although it is hard to estimate the reason.
