Předběžná náplň práce

Cílem této práce je analyzovat prezentaci strategických narativů různých institucí Evropské unie (EU) vůči Čínské lidové republice (ČLR) se zvláštním zaměřením na vývoj v letech 2012 až 2022. Jádrem výzkumu byla analýza strategických a zahraničněpolitických dokumentů EU týkajících se Číny. Cílem je nejen identifikovat různé strategické narativy EU vůči ČLR, ale také analyzovat, jak tyto narativy předpokládají strategickou angažovanost EU a Číny, jak se vyvíjejí v čase, jak se liší mezi jednotlivými institucemi a jaká je dynamika různých narativů v rámci institucí EU.

The aim of this thesis is to analyse the presentation of strategic narratives by various European Union (EU) institutions towards the People's Republic of China (PRC), with a particular focus on developments between 2012 and 2022. The core of the research was an analysis of EU strategy and foreign policy documents on China. The aim is not only to identify different EU strategic narratives towards the PRC, but also to analyse how these narratives envisage EU-China strategic engagement, how they evolve over time, how they differ across institutions, and what the dynamics of different narratives within EU institutions are.
