Předběžná náplň práce

This thesis explores the interventions of Turkey and Russia in Libya through the lens of constructivism in International Relations, emphasizing the role of identity narratives in shaping interest and foreign policy. In the wake of the Arab Spring and the subsequent overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, Libya descended into chaos, inviting the intervention of various external actors, notably Turkey and Russia. This research delves into the national identities of both countries, analyzing how historical experiences, domestic politics, and ideological narratives influence their international behavior. Through a constructivist framework, this thesis aims to provide a deeper understanding of the motivations behind Turkish and Russian interventions in Libya. It posits that these interventions are not merely reactions to geopolitical opportunities or threats but are deeply rooted in the constructed identities of the states involved. Ultimately, this thesis contributes to the broader discourse on international relations by demonstrating the significant role of identity in shaping state behavior. It provides insights into the complex interplay between identity, foreign policy, and intervention, offering a nuanced perspective on the ongoing geopolitical struggles in Libya.
