| Tato studie se zakládá na analýze amerických konceptualizace České republiky a způsobu jak byly prezentovány v dokumentech amerických prezidentů mezi lety 1989-2009 a v amerických médii. V případě rozboru mediální scény se studie soustředí na období mezi 14.-25. září 2009 před ohlášením zrušení třetího pilíře protiraketové obrany. Studie vychází z výsledků předchozího výzkumu v rámci konstruktivistických interpretací teorií mezinárodních vztahů a též se odvolává na tradici kritické geopolitiky. Studie se snaží odpovědět na otázku v jakém světle a za jakým účelem byla Česká republika prezentována v americkém geopolitickém diskurzu. Prostřednictvím kritické analýzy způsobů prezentace České republiky v dokumentech amerických prezidentů v časovém rozmezí dvanácti let a jak se tak dělo v případě jedné konkrétní události zachycené médii během období dvou týdnů tato studie identifikuje trendy a míru konzistence v americkém geopolitickém smýšlení o České republice (ve smyslu tzn. mental maps). Studie též ukazuje v jakém rozsahu americká média přebíraly při informování o obratu prezidenta Obamy v otázce protiraketové obrany již existující konceptualizace České republiky na základě postojů amerických prezidentů artikulovaných v předchozích dvanácti letech. Výsledky obsahové analýzy jednotlivých sad textů odhalují, že Česká republika má určitou symbolickou a strategickou hodnotu, která se odráží v jistém specifickém chápání americké národní identity s kořeny ve studené válce. |

| This study constitutes an analysis of American conceptualizations of the Czech Republic as presented in presidential materials from 1989 to 2009 and American media reporting the cancellation of the Third Site of ballistic missile defence from 14-25 September 2009. It draws on the previous research offered by constructivist interpretations of international relations and the field of critical geopolitics to explore how, and for what purpose, certain American sources of geopolitical reasoning have portrayed the Czech Republic. By comparing and contrasting the ways in which the Czech Republic has been conceptualised in presidential materials over a period of twenty years and in media sources over a two-week period relative to a particular event, the study identifies trends and thematic (in)consistencies in American “mental maps” of the Czech Republic. It shows the extent to which media reporting on President Obama’s ballistic missile defence policy shift recycled pre-existing conceptualizations of the Czech Republic broadcasted on the presidential level over the twenty years prior to the policy shift. The results of content analyses of each set of texts reveal that the Czech Republic holds specific symbolic and strategic value that ultimately points back to a particular understanding of American national identity with origins in the Cold War. |
