urrent development of CSDP and the Czech Republic's involvement in EU military missions

This bachelor thesis examines the Czech Republic’s perception of its membership in the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). The aim of the thesis was to assess whether and how the Czech Republic reflects its membership, specifically through participation in military missions within the CSDP. The thesis is based on a theoretical framework that focuses on security in international relations. In particular liberal and constructivist conceptions of security that work with security communities. It is the security communities that are subsequently introduced in the thesis and are followed up with a specific case study, which is CSDP. The research for this thesis has been conducted through textual analysis, specifically of strategic documents of the Czech Republic that have portrayed the perception of CSDP in the Czech environment over time. Based on the research, possible factors influencing the evolution of the Czech relationship with CSDP and likely possibilities for further development were identified.
