The aim of this paper is to describe the history of Czechoslovak-Japanese relations and Czech-Japanese relations since their conception until now. The paper is based on the social constructivist theory formulated by Alexander Wendt. The development of the relations is interpreted through Wendt's concept of national and social identities, while the main focus lies on the political dimension and historic context, under which the interactions between Czechoslovakia and Japan (or Czech Republic and Japan) were acted out. The final part of the paper, which describes the current state of Czech-Japanese relations, introduces the phenomena of globalization as a crucial power transforming the international system and the socially constructed reality of international relations, and analyses its influence on the relations between the two countries.
