Preliminary scope of work

Predkladaná práca sa zaoberá analýzou jedného zo stavebných kameňov neoralistického prístupu k skúmaniu medzinárodných vzťahov, t.j. teóriou balansovania. Na rozdiel od väčšiny štúdií na túto tému sa však táto práca nezaoberá primárne skúmaním svetových mocností či podrobnou analýzou vybraného štátu. V centre našej pozornosti stoja naopak menšie štáty, ktoré nepredstavujú dominantného aktéra vo svojom okolí a každodenne musia bojovať o svoje prežitie v anarchistickej štruktúre medzinárodného systému. V predkladanej práci sme sa rozhodli preskúmať závislosť medzi dvoma základnými typmi správania sa štátov a faktormi, ktoré tendencie k výberu jedného z týchto typov ovplyvňujú. Podľa neorealistickej teórie tieto základné typy predstavujú balansovanie a menej známy pojem bandwagonovanie (t.j. podriadenie sa silnejšiemu štátu). Nami skúmané faktory (t.j. nezávislé premenné) sú sila štátu, ktorý stojí pred voľbou, počet možných spojencov v jeho okolí, geografická blízkosť k susednému silnému štátu a rozdiel v politickom systéme medzi skúmaným štátom a silným štátom v jeho okolí. Vplyv vyššie menovaných faktorov je skúmaný v období od konca napoleonských vojen do vypuknutia 2. svetovej vojny, v geografickom regióne Európy a Južnej Ameriky. Práca sa zameriava na analýzu širokého vzorku prípadov, k čomu sú využité predovšetkým metódy kvantitatívneho výskumu.

Preliminary scope of work in English

This thesis analyses one of the key components of the neorealistic approach in international relations – the theory of balansing. Unlike the other studies on this topic, this paper doesn’t analyse behaviour of the world powers. It also doesn’t offer a comprehensive case studies of one particular state. The key unit of analysis in our thesis are all smaller states, which do not belong to dominant actors in their region and therefore have to fight daily for their survival in the anarchic structure of neorealist world system. In this paper we have decided to explore the relation between the two types of states’ behaviour and the factors which influence the tendency of the state to choose one of them. According to the neorealist theory, we can distinguish two basic types of the state behaviour – balancing and bandwagoning. Our factors influencing this behaviour (e.g. our independent variables) are power of the state, number of available allies, geographic proximity to the dominant actor in the geographic neighbourhood and the difference in political system of the state and his closest threat. The influence of these factors is analysed in the period from the end of Napoleonic wars until the beginning of WWII. As our thesis analyses a large number of data, we decided to use primarily quantitative research methods.
