Acknowledgements

This monograph is based on my Ph.D. thesis developed at Metropolitan University Prague. In this respect, I would like to thank my Ph.D. supervisor Prof. Petr Kratochvíl from the Institute of International Relations Prague. From the first moment, he has been an essential source of support and very pertinent questioning of my research directions. I appreciate very much both his academic supervision and his personal approach, which made every interaction with him a pleasant and enriching experience. At the same time, I would like to thank the two opponents of my Ph.D. thesis: Associate Professor Jan Eichler from the Institute of International Relations Prague and Dr. Karel Svoboda from the Institute of International Studies, the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University in Prague. Their valuable and critical remarks and comments have contributed to improving the Ph.D. thesis and thus also the text of this monograph. The final version of this text was developed at the Institute of International Relations Prague. I would like to thank Mr. Jan Hrubín from this institution for his linguistic correction and proofreading of the text of this monograph. Last but not least, I would like to thank all the people at Springer who participated in the proces
