Europeanization of Czech Foreign Policy

This work examines how much Czech foreign policy is influenced by the EU’s “soft power” in other words how much the Czech Republic follows the EU’s non-binding decisions. The work approaches the top down Europeanization of Czech foreign policy in the fields of development and security policies. The major emphasis is on the development policy concerning bilateral and multilateral cooperation as well as Official Development Aid. On the other hand the security policy mainly focuses on soldiers and civilians sent to missions abroad under the flag of the EU and NATO. It also examines the United States and Czech Republic’s relations.
