Cyprus: the Crossroad between Europe and Asia
Smetáček, Martin ; Adamcová, Lenka (advisor) ; Němečková, Tereza (referee)
In my work I consider the cultural-political routing of Cyprus from its position between Europe and Asia with respect to its economical orientation. In the view of the fact that Cyprus was a profoundly developing country in the year 1960, when winning its independence from Great Britain, I focus mainly on its economic development after the year 1960 and the performance of the economy on the threshold of the 21st century, whereas I ask myself if Cyprus has already completed its transformation from a developing country into a socially and economically developed country with modern free market economy. The work briefly records the history of the country since its infancy in as early as 8th millennium BC up to the end of the 20th century AC, it further considers the economic development of Cyprus at the end of the 20th century, and finally it focuses on the current social-economic conditions in the country under the pattern of dividing economies between developing and developed countries. The work also regards the intercommunity rupture, which dominates Cyprus since 1974 and factually divides it in two parts: the Cyprus Republic and the internationally unrecognized Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. I accentuate exclusively the date regarding the Cyprus Republic.

Sino-african economic cooperation
Stará, Veronika ; Němečková, Tereza (advisor) ; Adamcová, Lenka (referee)
A topic sino-african relations is in a Czech literature overlook. An idea that there are only few reasons for which China and Africa should maintain some important relations is misconception. The sino-african relations have a sixty years long history from a help during the national wars for independence, ideological belongings to a current economic cooperation which reflects a chinese industrial need for raw materials. The economic cooperation lays on a political agreement, an investment activity and a vast aid provided. Chinese demand for african raw materials increses revenue of african countries which are abundant in demanded raw materials and accelarate their development. Through all chinese statements it uses its stronger position against disunited african states which still look for a way how to gain from the sino-african cooperation in the future. China turns a blind eye and ignore critical situations in some african states and misuse non-democratical groups there for its own benefit. At the same time it is clear that it cannot long forever. China will have to participate in solving african problems to protects its own matters there.
