Předběžná náplň práce

Cieľom tejto bakalárskej práce je priblížiť energetickú politiku Spojených arabských emirátov (SAE) a prostredníctvom neorealistickej teórie medzinárodných vzťahov vysvetliť jej motiváciu. SAE disponujú jedným z najväčších globálnych uhľovodíkových kapitálov. Uplynulé roky ukázali, že krajina aj napriek svojmu ropnému a plynovému bohatstvu zintenzívňuje investície do obnoviteľnej tranzície a umocňuje udržateľné energetické politiky. Motivácia zmeny smerovania je v práci prisúdená záujmu o ukotvenie si ekonomickej a politickej bezpečnosti na medzinárodnej scéne. Práca je systematicky členená na dva hlavné celky, z ktorých prvý približuje teoretické ukotvenie tematiky v kontexte medzinárodných vzťahov a druhý ponúka empirické príklady konkrétnych politík, ktoré krajina implementuje. Zistené politiky súčasne prepájam s neorealizmom a poukazujem na ich dôležitosť v zahraničnej politike krajiny.

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to elucidate the energy policy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and to explain its motivation through the neorealist theory of international relations. The UAE possesses one of the largest global hydrocarbon capitals. Recent years have shown that despite its oil and gas wealth, the country is intensifying its investments in renewable transition and enhancing sustainable energy policies. This thesis attributes the motivation for such change in direction to the interest in anchoring economic and political security on the international stage. The thesis is systematically divided into two main parts, the first of which outlines the theoretical grounding of the topic in the context of international relations, while the second offers empirical examples of specific policies implemented by the country. I concurrently link the identified policies with neorealism and highlight their importance in the country's foreign policy.
