Ambekar, Sankalp ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bejkovský, Jan (referee)
Asia's Machtpolitik Linking China's hegemonic intentions through its institutions in Southeast Asia Sankalp Ambekar Abstract Since pre-colonial times, the major powers in the region contesting and vying to influence Southeast Asia and South China Seas. However, in modern times things did not change much, though China came out as a revisionist and status quo power. And Chinese-led multilateral institutions are the new provider in this business. It rapidly became a first choice and alternative option to West-led institutions with long-term expertise in DFI. Moreover, certain ASEAN states are divided politically and economically, not having a unified stance on how they should approach China's behaviour. Although China's encroachment over the South China Sea and issue with Taiwan became severe concerns over the region's stability. Hence, China is an element of passive-aggressive and hegemonic intentions in its behaviour. But it is difficult to predict how it will shape the future of the region and Asia, as the region's dynamics change rapidly. Thus, a link with grave ambtions connects to China's behaviour. Keywords: China; free trade agreement (FTA); hegemony; multilateralism; maritime trade; regional powers; Southeast Asia; South China Sea; trade blocs

Zhang, Han ; Benáček, Vladimír (advisor) ; Bejkovský, Jan (referee)
This paper attempts to explore China's direct investment in Central Europe under the OBOR initiative. China's economic cooperation in Central Europe is short and the total amount is small. First, this paper analyzes the current situation of Chinese investment including scales, industrial structure, investment entities. Second, through data integration, this paper analyzes the competitive advantage of China's investment in Central Europe. Finally, this paper explores the motives of Chinese investment through the panel data model.

The significance of the "One Belt and One Road" Policy for China's Geopolitical and Economic Strategy
Ma, Xingdong ; Doboš, Bohumil (advisor) ; Bejkovský, Jan (referee)
From the perspective of China, the OBOR policy does not only represents China's new efforts to integrate deeply into the world, but also can drive economic development of the countries along the route. It is also China's response to the expectations of the international community, demonstrating China's efforts to change the imbalance of world economic development and narrow the development gap between countries. What's more, through the implementation of OBOR policy, China can expand the it's influence in these countries along the OBOR policy and international scope. In some extent, it can also alleviate China's geopolitical and economic stress. At the same time, countries such as India andsome other countries have doubts about the true intentions of China'simplementation of the OBOR policy, causing the OBOR policy and even China to face many obstacles in the implementation of OBOR policy. This thesis attempts to analyze the significance of the OBOR policy to China's geopolitical and economic strategy and study the impact of the OBOR policy on China's geopolitical and economic strategy.

THE TRADE ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIP AND POLITICAL POSITION BETWEEN AMERICA AND CHINA OBCHODNÍ EKONOMICKÝ VZTAH A POLITICKÁ POZICE MEZI AMERIKOU A ČÍNOU Abstract This paper focuses on the asymmetry in Sino-US trade relations. It combines the theory of interdependence and empirical analysis. It analysis the theory based on the two concepts of sensitivity and vulnerability. First of all, this paper reviews the previous definitions and arguments of interdependence. It shows an indicator system for measuring sensitivity and vulnerability. Trade size, trade dependence are the independent variables of symmetry sensitivity. The conception of vulnerability consists of market substitutability, trade structure, and strategic commodities. The study found that Sino-US trade remains in an asymmetrical state in terms of trade in goods. China's sensitivity to Sino-US trade declined, its vulnerability was stable. As a whole, the degree of asymmetry in Sino-US trade in goods has weakened. The dependence on Sino- US trade is deepening. Moreover, it compares with the approach of TiVA. Since the beginning of tariffs conflicts in 2017, I will explain the credit expansion on behalf of the political perspective behind it.

The Real Intention of China in Africa: Comparison with the EU in the light of neo-colonialism
Kucukbakkal, Eylul Maral ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; Bejkovský, Jan (referee)
In recent years, while China has become one of the global power in the world, it has also been accused of its activities, and some of them have been referred to bear neocolonial intention in Africa. While China has also increased its engagement in the South American and Asian countries in the last two decades, its engagement in Africa has led to more concerns in the world due to the claims on China's neocolonial activities and exploitation of African resources. On the other hand, African countries have also started to form a much deeper relationship with China, especially after 2000. One of the main reasons for the development of this relationship has been China's non-interference principle within its 'Soft Power' policy and its emphasis on 'South-South' solidarity against the EU's 'North-South' relationship in Africa. Consequently, China has increased its development policy with no-strings-attached aids and loans to Africa. However, this increasing engagement raised a serious question as to whether China's activities purely target African countries' improvement or those are self- interested activities. As a result, in light of these arguments, this thesis attempts to analyze China's development policy and shed light on the claims of neocolonialism with the comparison of the EU's development policy...
