Černý, Martin ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Baláž, Peter (referee)
The growing world population accompanied by an increase in GDP is effectively raising the demand for energy. One of the options are unconventional means of oil and gas, originating mainly from shales and oil sands. The goal of this thesis is to introduce the reader to unconventional means and their influence on international business. After a short introduction and definition an analysis of the situation in the U.S. follows, where the recent years have brought an increase in production from unconventional sources. The positive influence on the economy, employment and energetic security will be mentioned same as possible impacts on the environment. Furthermore the paper provides an analysis of the potential of repeating the U.S. shale revolution in other countries, with special focus on the EU. The success of unconventional sources opens the possibility of new trade routes, influence on the trade balance and the potential of influencing the whole gas market. However, it will also have an impact on current oil and gas producers. Considering the close bond between energetic security and politics, the thesis closes with an analysis of influences on the economy and politics of both -- current oil and gas producers and countries, which might be directly and indirectly affected by changes in the oil and gas market.

The change of OPECs market power after the first oil shock
Celer, Martin ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Chalupecký, Petr (referee)
In 1973 the world was hit by first, intentional, oil shock. It was caused by relatively new organization OPEC which imposed trade embargo on some western countries supporting Israel during Jom Kipur war. This oil shock which had deep impact on global economics was in fact due to long lasting friction between recently founded OPEC and cartel of oil producing companies known as "Seven sisters". These companies and OPEC led mutual negotiations concerning purchasing oil prices. In this work I intend to analyze the changes of OPEC power following the first oil shock and to prove that this power has substantially increased. I will achieve this by analyzing relationships between both players on the oil market and literature sources concerning time period being in concern.

Position of The Middle East Countries in The World Trade
Rybová, Kateřina ; Steinmetzová, Dana (advisor) ; Vondrušková, Barbora (referee)
Střední východ je velice specifickou součástí světové ekonomiky. Jedná se o politicky nestabilní region, který je i hospodářsky a sociálně značně nestejnorodý. Nepříznivé přírodní podmínky jsou příčinou potravinové nesoběstačnosti a nutí většinu ekonomik zemědělské produkty a potraviny dovážet. Na druhou stranu disponuje oblast Perského zálivu ohromným ropným bohatstvím. Proto zde najdeme největší producenty a exportéry ropy na světě. "Černé zlato" se stalo nejvýznamnější vývozní komoditou těchto států a ropný průmysl představuje stěžejní odvětví jejich národního hospodářství. I v současné době si Střední východ stále udržuje pozici důležitého dodavatele ropy.
