Summary/Abstract: The analysis surveys the evolution of security studies in the Czech Republic after 1990. Firstly, the historical context and institutional development of the discipline are analyzed; afterwards the intellectual tradition of Czech security studies is introduced, and the theories used in the discipline in the Czech Republic are mentioned. The central point of the analysis is the character and content of the articles published in the journal Mezinárodní vztahy. We conclude that the research of international security in the Czech Republic is strongly interconnected with the country’s executive politics and that Mezinárodní vztahy is the central platform for Czech security research.
