Návrat mocnosti: Čína a její působení v OSN

Chinese Foreign Policy has undergone various changes, which attract attention of external actors. One of the areas where Chinese Diplomacy has seen a dramatic shift is the policy towards the United Nations (UN). Thus China is becoming a more active member of the global multilateral framework. An Assessment of China's actions in the UN and relations between these two actors of International Relations is the main subject of this bachelor thesis. Behavioural patterns and important milestones of Chinese Foreign Policy towards UN may serve for predictions of the future Chinese engagements in the UN. The primary aim of the thesis is to evaluate Chinese behaviour in the UN based on selected topics -- mainly participation in UN Peacekeeping Operations. The secondary aim is to spark a debate in this field. The author put great emphasis on searching for causes of Chinese behaviour and possible implications of such behaviour in the future UN-China cooperation. This thesis concludes with a summary of outcomes such as ambitions and behavioural patterns of China in the UN.
