Summary/Abstract |
The new security challenges began to be emphasized in Czech strategic documents as early as the beginning of the 1990s. As a result, the Czech Army has been undergoing its radial and essentially continuous transformation since the beginning of its existence in 1993. The elimination of these threats became an important task for the Czech military. In contrast with the situation in the other armies of consolidated democracies, the ideal of the military professional has not changed much in the Czech Republic. It still is a combination of a warrior, technician, and manager. In 1989-92, there were some processes taking place in Czechoslovakia in the area of civil-military relations that, in many respects, differed from the development in Western Europe. The most important of these was the process of the de-politicization of the army in the sense of freeing it from Communist Party influence and control.

Summary/Abstract |
While the Cold War is a memory, and Hillary Clinton and Sergei Lavrov have hit the 'reset button', recent spy scandals show that the United States and the West still do not have smooth relations with Russia. If we wish to understand Russia, we must understand its cultural origins, something we have failed to do so far. While Russia's behaviors often appear western, they do not share the same traditions of Rome and religious reformation. One can make more sense of Russian security and intelligence culture-as opposed to specific Communist or Post-Communist cultures-by tracing their common philosophical and historic roots back to their point of origin, between 500 and 1,000 years ago to the Byzantine Empire.

Summary/Abstract |
Arms production in interwar Czechoslovakia has been a fascinating subject to research. The development of Czechoslovak weapons production was remarkably interesting as it was influenced by many political, military, and economic factors. The arms industry was obviously a particular branch that, together with arms exports, represented a matter that was also very politically delicate. In the 1930s, the rapid revitalization of the armament industry played an important role in the Czechoslovak economy. The armament boom helped the Czechoslovak economy to achieve better results and improved the situation in many branches of the Czechoslovak industry. However, high defense expenditures represented a rather dangerous phenomenon, with possible negative effects on the Czechoslovak economy in the long run.

Summary/Abstract |
This assessment of Russia as an Arctic power derives from an analysis of structural and ideological factors. It looks at the following indicators: Russia's domestic political system, Russia's foreign policy, and an assessment of Russian economic and military power, primarily in the context of Arctic circumpolar affairs. This assessment also rests on the assumption that Arctic security issues cannot be separated from the larger context of global security. As a result, Russia's behavior in the Arctic over the next decade and beyond will be shaped by its great power aspirations, its relationship with other great powers both in the Arctic and outside of it and the resources available to the Russian state to support its Arctic ambitions.
