Cíle předmětu
The course aims at introduction into history of international relations in Europe in the 17th-20th centuries Europe. The main goal of the course is to present the most important historical events and interpret these in the perspective of changing structures of European system of states, changing patterns of diplomatic conduct, changing conditions of economy, society and domestic politics and, to the minimal necessary extent only, also in the context of changing global international politics. The course is composed of chronologically subsequent topics dealing with the most important features of the given period. The ambition goes beyond mere description of key moments, events, figures, wars, battlefields etc. The teachers strive instead to present those features and trends of modern and contemporary international relations in Europe that were or have been shaping the recent external relations of the countries in the European Union and beyond. The course puts emphasis on political-diplomatic aspects of international politics but the readings and presentations will include other features (economic, military, cultural relations etc.) wherever necessary.
