Economic Rationale for Industrial Policy in Developing Countries
Matyáš, David ; Klosová, Anna (advisor) ; Araujo, Ricardo (referee)
This thesis goes through basic principles of industrial policy in developing countries and analyses examples of recent industrial policies in BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) in the last two decades. The analysis shows the coexistence of unsuccessful and fruitful stories of industrial policy implementation. In the text, I focus especially on the last two decades. I recognize that industrial policy can have a positive impact on economy in some cases, but on the other hand, government failures are frequent and they can result in deep distortions of economic systems and waste of resources. Since 90s', pro-active approach positively contributed to the growth primarily in China and India -- although the progress of these two countries differs substantially. These two countries were (and still are) relatively poorer than Russia and Brazil. Typically, industrial policy in BRIC countries broadly overrides problems of corporate governance, corrupt practices and bureaucratic burdens.

BRIICS: Unilateral or multilateral path to political and economic growth
Makhalova, Evgeniya ; Hnát, Pavel (advisor) ; Cihelková, Eva (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to identify position of the group BRIICS on the international arena and to determine whether the economic and political rise of concerned economies is potentially hidden in a closer multilateral cooperation or in the separate influences on the world. Moreover, this work aims to answer the question if the BRIICS countries have the potential to dictate their conditions to the international organizations and world public. It also describes the developing countries, their basic categorization and after all the fastest growing economies (emerging markets) are singled out. This paper also examines the impact of the internal social, demographic and political problems on the existence of the organization.

Position of BRIC countries on selected international commodity markets
Pospíšil, Jakub ; Müller, Štěpán (advisor) ; Taušer, Josef (referee)
The bachelor thesis analyzes position of BRIC countries on international commodity markets with coffee, natural gas, gold, coal and iron ore in context with recent development of their economies. International economics theory is applied to put their global stance and engagement in international trade under scrutiny. Involvement in regional integrations is also briefly discussed. Brazil is key supplier of coffee to global markets and Russia enjoys prominent position in production of natural gas, whereas Indian demand moves the gold market. Chinese demand is fundamental for development of trade with coal and iron ore. Further in the paper the ability to influence market price of given commodities by the countries is analyzed and humble attempts of modest future development predictions are made.

Analysis of foreign economic relations of the Czech republic with BRIC countries.
Sibagatova, Adel ; Plchová, Božena (advisor) ; Halík, Jaroslav (referee)
Today there is a great interest in the strategic markets or priority markets in the world. The list includes such countries as Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine, USA, Vietnam. World find them priority because they hide a great potential and dispose of large amount of wealth, important for the future prosperous development of the whole world. It is clear that other economies that are not in the list, try to establish business relations with these countries and strengthen their positions on their markets. All BRIC countries are currently considered as the priority markets. In my work I tried to describe the current situation in the development of bilateral trade relations between the Czech republic and the BRIC countries. BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) - a young forum of strengthening dialogue and cooperation with major countries among the dynamically developing countries, whose role in the global economy and politics is constantly increasing. During the last decade the BRIC countries became the "locomotive" of economic development in the world. Approximately 50% of world GDP growth in 2010, including the period after the crisis, was produced by BRIC countries. The Czech Republic is a relatively small economy, for which penetration to international trade plays an important role, and therefore for Czech exporters should BRIC markets become in the near term the main object of concentration.
