The Doha Development Agenda
Obenbergerová, Linda ; Němečková, Tereza (advisor) ; Řehořová, Veronika (referee)
As the globalization goes further, the importance of international trade increases as well, not only as an instrument of reaching welfare but as a way to solve problems, too. The World Trade Organization (WTO) tries to put this approach into effect by means of liberalization. The current round of multilateral negotiations at the WTO that was launched in November 2001 in Qatar's capital Doha was to focus on developing countries. That is why it is usually called the Doha Development Agenda (DDA). The opponents claim, that the aspect of development is not strong enough, because developed countries do not want to make concessions (the main topic of this round are agricultural subsidies, harshly defended by the developed countries). The issue is the length of the round and constant postponing of the deadline to conclude DDA or even the absence of a credible classification of members according to their development phase. The original goal of this round lying in improvement of developing countries' situation in world trade is not being fulfilled and remains for the eights year almost unchanged.

Debt relief process influence on least developed countries
Rosenkranc, Filip ; Němečková, Tereza (advisor) ; Řehořová, Veronika (referee)
Bachelor thesis examines the problem of external debt of developing countries and also the initiatives that try to solve this problem. The biggest part deals with two initiatives: HIPC (Heavily Indebted Poor Countries) and MDRI (Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative). I examine the process and evolution of these initiatives and also their results, whether total amnount of debt relief or the decrease of ratio debt indicators. I further examine the impact of debt relief processes on the participating countries, especially the increase in poverty reducing expenditures and whether the debt sustainability is reached. I emphasize critical views of these initiatives, current problems and issues that will need further attention. The debt relief process and its effects are demonstrated on the example of one particular country - Uganda.

Lorencová, Ivana ; Jeníček, Vladimír (advisor) ; Řehořová, Veronika (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to point out that the battle against hunger can be won in our lifetime. However, this problem can not be solved without concerning all connections between undernutrition and other global problems. This thesis contains an analysis of various aspects of health, education, population growth, agriculture or trade which are strongly related to poor nutritional status. The technology, knowledge and resources exist to meet the needs of hungry. As it was revealed in my study, they should not been implemented unless they respect mutual links between different problems.
