Full textAbstract:
The thesis scrutinizes the effects of the Council Presidency on legislative decision making in the European Union Council of Ministers. The rotating Council Presidency has been one of most prominent topics of discussion in the debate on institutional reform. So far, however, a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of the Presidency is missing. The thesis addresses two questions: 1. Does the Council presidency have an impact on legislative activity in the Council? 2. Does the Council presidency gain disproportional benefits from the policies agreed upon during its term in office? The methodology used in the thesis consists of an exploratory case study, secondary analysis of the Decision-making in the European Union (DEU) data set, and statistical analysis of an original data set covering legislative activity from 1984-2003. It presents evidence for an effect of the Presidency on both legislative activity and decision outcomes.

de, Wolff Mads. "Playing for the same team? : the trio Presidency and agenda-management in European Union sport policy." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2016. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/21470.
Full textAbstract:
In 2007 the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU) was reformed by the introduction of the so-called trio Presidency . The trio mechanism encourages policy continuity by grouping incumbent Presidencies in teams of three and inviting them to coordinate. This thesis seeks to contribute original knowledge on EU policy-making by mapping how trio practices are established, exploring which factors explain how Member States coordinate, and by assessing how the trio arrangement affects the EU agenda. Empirically, the trio function is examined through its implementation in the policy area of sport, focusing on the three trios to assume office after the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty in 2009. The analysis is structured around a number of carefully selected dossiers adopted between 2010 and 2013. Guided by a conceptual framework based on agenda-setting and new institutionalism, these decisions are submitted to in depth process-tracing. The analysis draws on qualitative research, primarily official documents and 37 semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that actors approach the trio with differing preferences and expectations, leading to much variation in how the arrangement is performed. The thesis identifies a number of factors that explain variation. Thus, a fixed agenda supports trios in coordinating priorities and activities ex ante. Moreover, coordination is conditioned by trio composition, as federal and new Member States are more inclined to cooperate. Further, trio practices are shaped by factors such as multiannual planning and focusing events, with the intenseness of trio coordination reflecting whether the agenda includes issues that demand sustained attention. The thesis concludes that the introduction of the trio mechanism has preserved the ability of Member States to use the Council Presidency to prioritise national priorities whilst also encouraging and facilitating EU policy continuity. By extending agenda-management beyond a six month spell, the trio can strengthen the agenda-setting powers of incumbent Member States, particularly on issues that concern establishing urgent responses or developing Council procedures. Moreover, evidence suggests that the arrangement can produce a specific spirit of collegiality, trio solidarity, which sees trio Member States support each other during negotiations, thus affecting EU policy-making beyond agenda-management.

Full textAbstract:
The juridical reforms proposed by the Polish government have brought the attention of European institutions. The conflict concerns the matter of sovereignty, as the reforms conducts changes on domestic level. The paper discusses how national identity of states can shape the understanding of sovereignty. The paper aims to understand how sovereignty can be used as a political tool in relation between Poland and the European Union. The research question asks, “How Polish national identity constitutes the EU as a threat to sovereignty?”. To answer this question, the thesis applies poststructuralist’s concepts to the narrative analysis on speeches of the Polish President Andrzej Duda. The results of the thesis indicate that sovereignty can be understood subjectively, thus can be used as a political tool that can legitimise and justify policies as well as construct relations with others.

Full textAbstract:
Each presidency presents its program of priorities before the beginning. In connection with the formulation of the priorities we can follow three different lines influencing the whole process: affairs within EU, affairs out of EU and last but not least the national priorities of individual member states. The target of this thesis is to present a general overview of EU presidencies in the period 2000-2008 and to demonstrate, that formulated priorities do not appear in the agendas of presidencies randomly, but reflect certain continuity in development of the integration process.

Full textAbstract:
Today a grand majority (around 80%) of the European citizens live in cities or towns. Europe is more urbanised than ever. Contemporaneously, climate change and global warming is an increasing threat worldwide. In 2006, the European Commission of the European Union (EU) therefore launched the idea of implementing the yearly European Green Capital (EGC) award. The aim was (and still is) to create role models by promoting cities that constantly take strong actions for the environment and thereby inspire other cities to make green choices too. In February 2009 the first two EGC winners were announced: Stockholm (Sweden) 2010 and Hamburg (Germany) 2011. The question is whether an award of this kind is the right method for the EU to deal with environment issues. If not, the EU should invest its resources elsewhere. This thesis aims at evaluating the EGC by looking closer at Stockholm as the EGC winner of 2010 and by analysing the impacts the EGC title has on Sweden’s EU Presidency the second half of 2009. The ecological modernisation theory reconciles economic growth and environmental protection, and provides several relevant features and aspects to this thesis regarding sustainable development, voluntary approaches and environmental policy-making. By applying the theory on the EGC many things such as the underlying visions and methods of the award can be explained and analysed. The conclusion of the thesis is that the EGC in some respects is leading to a greener and more sustainable Europe or at least has the potential to do so.

Sharples, Jack D. "A critical analysis of Russian state and Gazprom conceptions of natural gas as a strategic resource and Russia's gas exports to the European Union during the Medvedev presidency (2008-2012)." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2014. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5205/.
Full textAbstract:
As the largest external supplier of natural gas to the EU with reserves sufficient for another 74 years at current production levels, Russia is a strategic energy partner for the EU, and will remain so in the coming decades. The first eight years of the 21st century brought a dramatic rise in European oil and gas prices, and the idea of Russia as an ‘energy superpower’. However, such a characterisation of Russia failed to account for the interdependent nature of the Russia-EU gas relationship, and reflected a lack of nuanced Western understandings of the relationship between political and commercial entities in Russia’s energy sector. This thesis contributes to the gap in the literature by employing a social constructivist approach to the examination of Russian state and Gazprom conceptions of natural gas as a strategic resource and Russia’s gas exports to the EU. The crux of this research is the analysis of the convergence and divergence of Gazprom and Russian state interests and strategies, on the basis of their conceptualisations of natural gas as a strategic commodity. These interests are then played out in the relationship between Gazprom and the Russian state: where Gazprom and Russian state interests diverge, the degree to which the Russian state is able to impose its interests on Gazprom is highly significant. The extent to which Russia’s political leadership conceptualises gas as a political, rather than purely economic, resource not only influences Russian state interests, but also the degree to which those state interests converge with the commercial interests of Gazprom. The identification of Gazprom and Russian state conceptions of, and interests in relation to, natural gas therefore offers the possibility of rationalising Gazprom’s actions and strategies in commercial terms, where previously the presence of political interests may have led to the reductionist interpretation of those actions being little more than further evidence of Russia wielding the ‘energy weapon’. In Russia itself, the state conceptualisation of gas as a strategic national resource has led to the government using state-owned Gazprom as a vehicle for state control over Russia’s resources. In Russia’s relations with Ukraine and Belarus, natural gas is both political and economic – the Russian government views gas exports to Ukraine and Belarus as potentially lucrative, but it is willing to trade economic utility for political concessions, with Gazprom again the vehicle for such deals. It is in relation to Russia’s gas exports to the EU that the Russian state sees gas as an overwhelmingly economic resource, where prices are highest and the potential for barter or leverage is lowest. The examination of the Nord Stream gas pipeline highlights the convergence of Gazprom and state interests in strategic gas projects, and further emphasises the economic interests of the Russian state in such projects, thus demonstrating that state interests are not always completely political. Again, this challenges the interpretation of the fusion of energy and foreign policy as evidence of the ‘energy weapon’, and offers the possibility of rationalising Gazprom’s policies. Such a rationalisation increases our ability to understand the dynamics of Russia’s gas exports, which in turn offers the possibility of more constructive cooperation between supplier and consumer. The Medvedev presidency of 2008-2012 is particularly noteworthy, because it was marked by dramatic fluctuations of European gas prices, which exposed Russia’s economic vulnerability to commodity price shifts. At the same time, the EU gas market underwent a significant development in terms of increased supply-side competition, increased spot trading, and regulatory development (particularly the Third Energy Package), which rendered that market an increasingly competitive environment for Gazprom. The extent to which Gazprom is able to adapt to these developments, and the extent to which the Russian state will be willing to continue supporting Gazprom if it does not, will be significant factors in Russia’s future role as a strategic gas supplier to the EU.

Despite the European Commission President’s importance as an agent of supranational integration, the presidency has attracted relatively little academic attention. This thesis examines the phenomenon of leader effectiveness in the context of the presidency by asking "how can the President's effectiveness be explained?” Two branches of theory - institutionalism and charisma theory - drive this research. By examining leadership from these contrasting perspectives a broad understanding is attained. Two independent variables - political / institutional context and leader charisma - are proposed as the core determinants of leader effectiveness. Human resource management theory is used to develop a job description for the President and a set of metrics is proposed to measure presidential effectiveness. Seven case studies are undertaken. Each examines the leadership of a Commission President. Firstly, the nature of their political / institutional context is established and the effect it had upon their leadership is estimated. Secondly the President’s character, behaviour and impact upon others are examined. Finally their effectiveness is assessed. Each case is based upon data derived from eighty one interviews with political actors and a questionnaire completed by thirty academics and journalists. The cross-case analysis strongly supports the research hypotheses - presidential effectiveness consistently relates to the nature of the political / institutional context and the leader’s charisma. Furthermore both independent variables relate positively to effectiveness- i.e. when charisma is high and the political / institutional context is empowering, leadership is typically effective, and vice versa. Although both independent variables are important, charisma is found to exert greater influence over effectiveness.

After the Second World War, the political and economic integration in western Europe has been promoted over years .Particularly,Commision president plays a key role in the evolution of European integration. This research offers a hypothesis which is derived from MERSI’s leadership model. The research chooses six ex-presidents as samples to test the hypothesis, and the result shows this hypothesis is,to some extent, acceptable. Therefore, the leadership of the incumbent president, Jose Barroso ,can be evaluated according to this hypothesis, and some solutions to improve the effectiveness of the commission are also suggested. The thesis is constructed with content analysis, comparative studies and MERSI leadership model.The conclusion indicates that any Commission president who meets the following criteria is likely a good Commission president: 1. foresighted, 2. with clear vision on European integration, 3.with good conceptual skills, 4. backed by powers, 5. with excellent political skills, 6. with strategic thinking and implementation capabilities. Also this thesis suggests that the Commission should try to make European Union more close to the people, and solve their problems.

Spain wielded the dominant sea power in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, they were one of the most powerful countries in the world. But as the times changing, they didn’t really dominate the world. After World War II, General Franco''s dictatorship made Spain isolated by the international community. Spain didn’t get into the democratization process until the death of Franco. After the democratization, Spain was able to participate in European Community(EC) in 1986. After participating EC (today’s EU), Spain assumed Presidency of the European Union in 1989, 1995, 2002 and 2010. During the four times of presidency, there were two ruling parties in Spain, the two parties were Partido socialista obrero Español (PSOE) and Partido Popular (PP) . The two parties have different aspects in Spain’s foreign policy. Spain’s foreign policy focuses its attention on three aspects: Europe, Mediterranean and Latin America. Between the two parties’ different leadership, Spain how to use its Presidency of the EU permission to play the role of "bridge" in these three areas, this is one of the keypoints of this article. Another keypoint of this article is discussing PSOE and PP have ever ruled Spain when assuming Presidency of the EU, and they have their own aspect and policy. I will compare two major political parties in the Presidency of the EU''s foreign policy to do the same and differences, and discuss the presidents of this two parties: González’s, Aznar’s and Zapatero’s foreign policy of Spain.

The core of German foreign policy is Multilateralism.As one of the most important actors in the word, Germany would like to handle international affairs with unmilitary force. In order to accomplish the purpose of German foreign policy, Chancellor of Germany must work hard for a good cooperation with his international partners. Due to the above-mentioned reasons, international institutions play a important role in German foreign policy. For the function of the European Union(hereinafter referred to as "EU"), the European Council and the Council of EU show intergovernmentalism totally and provide Germany a very wide space in which this country can increase its influence under the principle of Multilateralism very well. Besides, the Presidency of the Council of EU is the key of both institutions, and this office is also a guide in the policy-making process of EU.Because of it, Germany regards the presidency of the Council of EU as a very significant work, when it wants to show its international influence. The aim of this thesis is to research the role of Germany EU Presidency.There are three parts in my conclusion. The first is to compare the different attitudes and achievements of four Chancellors of Germany(Schmidt, Kohl, Schröder,and Merkel) and analyze the reason of their diverse behaviors. The second part is to discuss what contributions were made during Germany EU Presidency. The last part is to prospect the future of German foreign policy summarily.

Esta Dissertação enfoca os padrões de comunicação, em termos de conteúdo e forma, sobre
o tema do ambiente quando tratado pelo Partido Popular Europeu (PPE), de centro-direita.
Com esse propósito, são analisados discursos de líderes da União Europeia (UE),
concretamente dos Presidentes da Comissão Europeia (CE), membros do PPE, num período
de 10 anos, compreendido entre 2010 e 2019: José Manuel Durão Barroso, Jean-Claude
Juncker e Ursula von der Leyen. Metodologicamente, recorreu-se ao método qualitativo,
incluindo a pesquisa documental, a análise temática e a análise retórica.
Os resultados mostram que, ao longo dos 10 anos em estudo, o tema do ambiente tem
tido presença permanente nos discursos dos presidentes da CE e membros do PPE.
Retoricamente e em geral, os discursos mostram o uso de dispositivos retóricos, ligados
ao ethos, pathos e logos, de Aristóteles. Ao nível do ethos, todos os oradores recorrem a: a)
“conhecimento”; b) “espírito de união”; c) “credibilidade”; d) “identidade”; e) “sensatez”; e f)
“sinceridade”. Ao nível da dimensão retórica pathos, os três atores políticos recorrem a: a)
“sentimento de culpa”; e b) “estímulo à reflexão e à ação”. Da dimensão retórica logos, os
oradores socorrem-se de: a) “slogans”; b) “identificação do tema do ambiente como questão
económica e de segurança nacional”; c) “apelo à culpa”; d) “números”; e) “termos técnicos”; f)
“figuras de estilo”, como aliterações, anáforas, comparações, enumerações, hipérboles e
metáforas; g) “conteúdo afetivo e personalizado”; h) “argumentos bilaterais”; e i)
“exemplificações”.This thesis focuses on the communication patterns, in terms of content and form, on the environmental theme, when addressed by the center-right European People's Party (EPP). With this purpose, the discourses by leaders of the European Union (EU), specifically by the Presidents of the European Commission (EC), members of the EPP, in a period of 10 years, between 2010 and 2019, are analyzed: José Manuel Durão Barroso, Jean-Claude Juncker, and Ursula von der Leyen. The qualitative method was used, including the documentary research, the thematic analysis, and the rhetorical analysis. The results show that, over the 10 years under analysis, the theme of the environment has had a permanent presence in the speeches of EC presidents and members of the EPP. Rhetorically and in general, the discourses are supported by rhetorical devices, such as Aristotle's ethos, pathos, and logos. At the level of ethos, all the speakers reveal: a) “knowledge”; b) “spirit of union”; c) “credibility”; d) “identity”; e) “common sense”; and f) "sincerity". In terms of the pathos rhetorical dimension, the three political actors tend to provoke: a) “feeling of guilt”; and b) “stimulus to reflection and action”.

O estudo das Presidências Portuguesas do Conselho da União Europeia, desenvolvido no
âmbito desta tese de doutoramento em relações internacionais, tem por objetivo descrever,
comparar e explicar o papel, os objetivos e as prioridades políticas internas e externas de
Portugal durante os três exercícios presidenciais da União: 1992, 2000 e 2007.
Partimos de uma análise assente nas teorias da integração europeia, para analisar a
evolução e importância das Presidências para os Estados-membros. Dentro destas adotamos o
modelo conceptual da perspectiva racionalista e sociológica, de forma a compreender o
comportamento e desempenho dos Estados no exercício das mesmas.
Neste enquadramento procuramos explicar o desenvolvimento institucional da
Presidência, o seu papel e respectivas funções ao longo do processo de construção europeia, a
forma como os Estados através destas influenciam a agenda europeia, como lideram
determinadas políticas e/ou dossiers e inerentemente defendem o seu interesse nacional.
Descrevemos e comparamos as três Presidências Portuguesas do Conselho a nível
empírico e analisamo-las de acordo com o quadro teórico adoptado. Desta forma, pretendemos
explicar as razões que levaram Portugal a definir um determinado tipo de prioridades políticas
para cada uma das suas Presidências, as estratégias desenvolvidas para obter o sucesso na
prossecução das mesmas, bem como a respectiva importância para o país e para a União
Europeia.
Cada uma das Presidências ora referidas, oferece um contributo específico e importante
na sustentação da nossa tese e concorrem para o argumento central da mesma: explicar o papel
de Portugal nos três exercícios presidenciais, e consequentemente a sua relevância para a
política externa nacional e para o processo de integração europeia.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with the concept of politicization of the European Commission. It stems from the assumption that the new election procedure of the President of the Commission which is connected to the nomination of so-called Spitzenkandidaten, i.e. the lead candidates of the political parties before the elections to the European Parliament, led to the strengthening of the Parliament and subsequent politicization of the Commission. The new President of the Commission thus comes from the strongest political party which ran the elections with his candidature. The thesis formulates four hypotheses while focusing on three main areas which might be influenced by politicization: public opinion awareness, strengthening of the political affiliation of the commissioners as well as of the whole College of commissioners, and change of its inner composition - the political experience should become more prominent when choosing the suitable candidates for the commissioners. The analysis shows that it is possible to trace a positive trend in public opinion awareness from the side of the European Commission. Furthermore, it indicates the political assignment of individual portfolios among commissioners. On the other hand, the strengthening of the political affiliation of the Commissions and the change of the inner...

Les États européens n'ont, jusque dans les années 90, envisagé
leur défense que dans le cadre d'alliances militaires et restaient maîtres
de leur défense nationale. La mise en place d'une politique européenne
de défense a toujours connu des obstacles, reflets des problèmes de
souveraineté. Dans l'Union européenne, l'intégration politique, et en
particulier celle de la défense, reste le domaine le plus incertain. Cette
thèse de nature essentiellement empirico-descriptive aborde le thème de
la défense européenne sous une approche réaliste, en plaçant les États
au centre de la construction européenne et en en faisant les acteurs
principaux. Depuis 1992, les États tentent de définir une politique
européenne de défense mais rencontrent différentes difficultés.
En effet, la politique européenne de défense souffre d'un double
déficit. Le premier est un déficit institutionnel puisque la P.E.D. est loin
d'être une politique commune et se limite à un mécanisme de
coopération. Le second est un déficit matériel puisque l'Union européenne
n'a pas la puissance militaire pour mettre en oeuvre une éventuelle
décision commune. Afin d'évaluer les perspectives d'évolution d'une
politique européenne de défense, nous devons étudier les différents défis
que les États et les institutions communautaires doivent relever pour
combler ces deux déficits. Les défis d'ordre institutionnel concernent les
multiples acteurs, États et institutions, qui interviennent dans la définition
de la P.E.S.D. Il s'agit de déterminer quelle instance est la mieux à
même d'assurer la représentation internationale de l'Union européenne
afin de donner l'impulsion politique nécessaire de la P.E.S.D. Les défis
d'ordre militaire concernent les moyens que les différents acteurs
souhaitent engager afin de concrétiser la politique définie. Toutes ces discussions montrent la justification d'un système
européen de défense mais la question est de savoir si les États, acteurs
centraux de la construction européenne, sont prêts à relever ces défis.Up until the 1990's, the European States have solely thought of their security forces inside military alliances as they kept control of their national defense. The putting in place of a European defense policy has always met obstacles, which reflect the problems linked to the preservation of sovereignty. The political integration in Europe remains uncertain, mostly when it comes to common defense. With an empirical and descriptive manner, this thesis depicts the European defense theme in a realistic approach, by placing the States in the middle of the European construction and by giving them the main role. Since 1992, the States tried to lay down a European policy of defense, but they encountered various difficulties. Indeed, the European policy of defense suffers from a double deficit. The first is institutional since the European Defense Policy is far from being part of a common policy and is strictly a cooperation mechanism. The second is a material deficit since the European Union doesn't have a military force to implement a common decision. In order to evaluate the possible evolution of a European defense policy, we had to study the various challenges that the States and institutions must face in order to address those two deficits. The institutional challenge concerns the multiple actors, States and institutions, which intervene in the definition of E.P.S.D. This part will try to identify which institution would be best capable of ensuring the international representation of the European Union and to give the political impetus necessary to the putting into place of the E.P.S.D. The military challenge concern the means that the different actors would engage in order to concretize the policy. Ali these discussions show the justification of a European system of defense, but the question remains as to whether the States, central figures of the European construction, are ready to take up these challenges.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents and analyses the process of impeachment relating to the Presidents of European Union Member States. The thesis presents and analyses individual constitutional models of impeachment across Member States based on the constitutional players involved in the impeachment process, who decides on the initiation of the whole process and how, under what conditions the impeachment process can be initiated, for what offences the President can be impeached, which authorities have the power to decide on the outcome of the complaint, what penalties the President faces and whether it is possible to reverse the decision of these authorities in some way. The thesis also analyses impeachment processes that have taken place against European Presidents thus far, namely, the impeachment of Lithuanian President Paksas, Romanian President Basescu and the only attempt at a constitutional complaint to date against Czech President Václav Klaus. Three main models of impeachment can be identified in the framework of European constitutions, depending on which authority has the power to remove the President from office. Most European countries use the judicial model where the President is removed from office at the decision of a judicial authority. Judicial authorities can be of a dual nature. They can be...

Specifically, this qualitative comparative case study draws a comparison between the achievements of first Czech presidency in 2009 and latest Belgian presidency in 2010 in the area of environmental policy. High level of measures in this field represents one of the important characteristics of the European Union in this period of time. Despite the fact that both examined presidencies took place during the economic crisis, they could not forget to deal with environmental problems in order to maintain the EU's leading position in environmental policy and related issues.

Portugal assumiu, depois de 1992 e 2000, pela terceira vez a Presidência da União Europeia no segundo semestre do ano de 2007. Sendo que a Presidência do Conselho da União Europeia era rotativa, de seis em seis meses, entre os Estados-membros da União Europeia. Durante a Presidência Portuguesa ocorreram vários eventos e reuniões com os representantes dos países membros da União Europeia, entre as quais a Cimeira Informal de Lisboa – CIL, e Conselho Europeu, a 18 e 19 de Outubro de 2007 em Lisboa, onde foi alcançado o acordo para a obtenção do Tratado de Lisboa.
Eram muitos os jornalistas presentes, muitos deles da imprensa portuguesa, dada a importância desta cimeira. A organização da Presidência Portuguesa da União Europeia dispunha de uma equipa especializada em media, a Mediateam, com o intuito de facilitar o trabalho de todos os profissionais de comunicação social.
Conclui-se que a partir de uma pesquisa a artigos escritos na imprensa nacional, durante o ano de 2007, que a possibilidade de obtenção de um acordo referente ao Tratado de Lisboa gerou um optimismo tanto da parte dos jornalistas como dos representantes políticos dos Estados-membros da União Europeia. Considerando os tratados europeus como pilares da construção da União Europeia tal como a conhecemos, o processo de ratificação do Tratado de Lisboa por parte dos países membros da União Europeia foi o de aprovação parlamentar, à excepção da Irlanda que foi por referendo.On the second half of 2007, Portugal took on, for the third time after 1992 and 2000, the EU Presidency as it‟s due to rotate every six months among its members. During this mandate, there were many events and meetings with the representatives of the EU member countries namely the Lisbon Informal Summit on 18th and 19th October 2007 in Lisbon, and the Informal European Council, where an agreement on Lisbon Treaty was reached. Given the importance of this summit, there were many journalists present, many of which from portuguese press. There was a specific media team within the organisation committee, Mediateam, looking to assist on all the requirements from the media representatives. Based on some research and articles written in the national press during 2007, the possibility of achieving an agreement related to the Lisbon Treaty spreaded an optimism not only from the journalists but also from the political representatives of the EU members. Considering that the European Treaties are a fundamental pillar for the EU as we know it, the process of ratification of the Lisbon Treaty by EU members was of parliamentary approval with the exception of Ireland which conducted a referendum.

Full textAbstract:
Topics associated with the United States' foreign policy towards the European Union have become increasingly intense in expert discussions since the turn of the millennium. This is due to several factors, primarily including the strength of the two clusters, on two shores of the Atlantic ocean. The work on the topic of transatlantic relations is divided into four chapters, where the first chapter deals with the theory of regionalism, the historical development of relations between the United States and the European Union, and the European Community. The conclusion of the chapter then anchors foreign policy actors from the US perspective. However, the thesis aim is to compare two US presidents and their relations with the EU. The selected presidents are Barack Obama and Donald Trump, when the 2012-2018 period is a crucial time for work. The aim of the thesis is to find answers to several questions, when the main one is whether and what difference is in the approach of Barack Obama and Donald Trump towards the EU. The paper sets out several criteria by its research, which will then be compared from the perspective of two presidents in order to show whether and how the policies of two consecutive presidents differ in EU relations.

Full textAbstract:
The diploma thesis "Předsednictví Rady EU a energetická bezpečnost" (The presidency and the energy security) deals with factors relevant for the presidency of the EU. The current debate is highly focused on the size of the presiding country, which leaves very little space for an alternative explanation. The main task of this thesis is therefore to enrich the debate. The main method is comparing the two presidencies on the basis of the concept of energy security. The energy security was a relevant topic due to the context of the presidencies given by the interruptions in gas supply from Russia. Both countries differed in three relevant factors: the foreign orientation (relationship to Russia), the presidency style and the type of coordination mechanism. This diploma thesis tests the relevance of these factors on the presidency.

Using the qualitative content analysis and an inductive approach to the collected data, an analysis of two corpuses of articles was carried out. These articles treated the topic of the Czech presidency of the European Union and were published during that period in the Czech newspaper MF DNES and the French newspaper Le Monde. The most important Czech actors and other elements were identified, which together hold up the media image of the Czech Republic. The media image of the Czech national identity is described through them. Based on the results and wider theoretical frame of the thesis, the author further reflects the position of identities in the European media space and states that this space is not Pan-European but rather...

The aim of this Master thesis was to find out whether the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union was able to exert influence in EU's external relations after the Lisbon Treaty has entered into force. Thesis was looking on two post-Lisbon Council Presidencies- Hungarian Council Presidency and the Polish Council Presidency and their influence in Eastern Partnership-the flagship initiative of both of these presidencies. Through the identification of the informal roles of the rotating presidency-agenda setter role and broker's role, the influence on the development of Eastern Partnership of both Council Presidencies was determined. The other factors such as the reputation of the presiding country, stable domestic political situation, ability to deal with unexpected developments have been considered as important pre-requisites for the Council Presidency to be able to exert influence through its informal roles.

Full textAbstract:
The key research question of my diploma thesis deals with the problem of whether the President of the Czech Republic Milos Zeman creates the same discourse as far-right political parties in the Czech Republic. The research concerns the social discourse surrounding the current migration crisis facing Europe. In this connection, there is a discourse analysis of the themes of migration, Islam, terrorism, external and internal actors. This research is conducted on the basis of the theory of binaries from Teun Van Dijk, which can be applied to a populist political style characterized by President Zeman and extreme right-wing political parties, among which are analyzed the Workers' Party of Social Justice, National Democracy, Dawn - the National Coalition, Freedom And Direct Democracy - Tomio Okamura and the Citizens' Rights Party. Research data is collected from President Zeman's official communications channels and political parties, including official websites and social networks. Based on a discourse analysis of their political views, it is possible to compare President Zeman and the extreme right-wing parties to each topic and to conclude whether they speak the same or differently about these themes.
