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.

Disintegration of colonial system during the period of 1960s enabled the emergence of a group of developing countries, that broke out from political addiction and started independent operation. In the region of African countries the decolonisation was rounded out in the 1960 when the first african regional integrations were established. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the development of African regionalism (its chosen aspects), as well as other coherent agreements of cooperation. The thesis focuses on the answers to ulterior questions: Is it possible for Africa to get over huge economic and social backwardness? How did the African regionalism develop in substantially different parts of this continent? What are the results of economic cooperation between EU and Africa? The first chapter explains general social, cultural and political background of regionalism in Africa. The second chapter outlines the evolution of relations among the states of Africa and EU, examined on the basis of small steps in signing the agreements. The third chapter deals with the effectual formation of regionalism in Africa. The fourth chapter demonstrates the differences in approaches to regional integration in different parts of African region. This part compares two regional integrations and EU's attitude towards cooperation with them. The final chapter proposes the possible solutions of the most burning problems in Africa, through the conjoint process or with the help of the developed countries.
