Novotná, Jana ; Knotková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Havlová, Radka (referee)
Already for several decades, the relations among the People's Republic of China, the United States of America and Taiwan are in a situation, which is hard to solve. The Taiwan Strait symbolizes a place, where whenever can break out a conflict between the United States and China. Chinese effort to take over Taiwan seems as the most assumed reason of the war, and in this case the USA would support Taiwan by force. The main aim of my work is an analysis of how important role plays the Taiwan question in relationships between China and the United States and how these relations are influenced by this problem. The Bachelor thesis is divided into four parts. The first chapter analyses economic relations between China and the United States. Next three are focused on political and strategic relations between the USA and China. The first two of these deals with the American and Chinese foreign policy. The last chapter analyses the problems of armed forces. The conclusion is focused on a summary of observed facts.

Chinese soft power in Asia
Janáková, Zuzana ; Druláková, Radka (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
Within the context of the foreign policy of the People's Republic of China, one hears frequently about Chinese "soft power". This work deals with Chinese soft power in three Asian subregions - Southeast Asia, Japan & South Korea and Central Asia - in order to verify to what extent can soft power be regarded a universal approach in Chinese foreign policy. After introducing the concept of soft power this work is aiming to explain the characteristics of Chinese soft power, define the potentials and limits of Chinese soft power resources and explain how soft power corresponds with China's general strategy of foreign policy. In order to create an image of Chinese soft power in each of the three subregions, I define the key soft power tools according to which I measure Chinese soft power: Bilateral and multilateral diplomacy, promotion of culture and language (mainly through Confucius institutes), education of foreign students at Chinese universities and foreign aid. The rest of work is an analysis of employment of these tools in the respective subregions.

Due to the fact that in the DPRK and the mutual relations with other countries, it is very difficult to find a direct link with the ideas of proclaimed ideology, the main characteristics for a given pair of countries is emphasised. Mutual relations with five countries, which are articipating in the six-party talks with DPRK(the disarmament process is discussed in a separate section of thesis) are commented on. The role of the European Union is mentioned, because in the future, the EU could happen for several reasons, an important partner for the DPRK.

Globalisation and Developing Countries
Blažek, Ivan ; Volenec, Otakar (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
The thesis examines the impacts of globalisation on the spheres of economy, politics and culture of the developing world, in the sense of understanding globalisation as interconnecting the civilisational, regulatory and spiritual human constructs into a global system. This scheme is extended to the environmental dimension as a reflection of the conflict between the global system created by man and the pre-existent and superior global system of the ecosphere. In each dimension, the aim is to identify the particular impacts of globalisation on developing countries considering the positive or negative influences on their situation and problems.

Czech-Chinese foreign relations: perspectives of cooperation
Zdeňková, Veronika ; Peterková, Jana (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
The development of the People's Republic of China over the last decades is considered being one of the most significant trends in the current international environment. The Czech Republic has also experienced series of political, economical and social changes over the last years. However, the development of the Czech-Chinese foreign relations has not so far reflected these fundamental changes sufficiently. This thesis therefore describes the past development of the Czech-Chinese foreign relations and the development of the foreign policies of both sides and examines options for their mutual cooperation in the future. It is concluded that increased mutual cooperation could be beneficial for both sides for which supporting arguments covering the political and economic fields are presented separately for the Czech Republic and the People's Republic of China. In addition, specific diplomatic, economic and ideological instruments are proposed that might be used by both states in order to intensify the mutual Czech-Chinese foreign relations.

Corporate Social Responsibility in China: Path to Sustainable Growth (Selected Problems)
Kuksová, Magdalena ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
Social, cultural and technological changes of recent decades led to a new dominant feature of the world economy in the form of globalization. This coincided with the extraordinary growth of international political institutions that seem unable to control the process of globalization and its effects. Multinational corporations have become drivers of economic growth in the world. They have outsourced production to developing countries with low standards and weak legislation, particularly to China, where violation of Chinese and international law occurs frequently. No one assumes responsibility for this situation. The question therefore arises whether such economic growth can be legitimate and sustainable. The master thesis focuses on working conditions related to the production of goods in China. The aim of this master thesis is to try to determine to what extent the concept of corporate social responsibility can contribute to sustainable growth and improve working conditions in China. The thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter contains a theoretical introduction to social responsibility, the second chapter shows the influx of foreign businesses into China and its impacts on society. The third to the fifth chapter introduce attempts by various authorities and corporations to address the problem of harsh working conditions and violations of legal norms. The sixth chapter encourages consumer to take responsibility. The work is exclusively focused on the social pillar of corporate social responsibility.
