The Role of ASEM in Eurasian Relations
Beroun, Vladimír ; Voráček, Emil (advisor) ; Eichler, Jan (referee) ; Maitah, Mansoor (referee) ; Handl, Vladimír (referee)
The main objective of our doctoral thesis is to evaluate the role of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) and its political, economic and socio-cultural pillars as a political process in interregional (multilevel) governance in Eurasian relations. We have conducted a unique case study that is based on a holistic qualitative interpretation by means of a postpositivist perspective and discourse analysis. Given the transitional and multidimensional nature of interregionalism as a political process, we are applying the (neo)realist balancing with elements of (neo)liberal multilateralism and social constructivism as the basic theoretical approach. Based on this structure, we have come to the conclusion that (1) ASEM as an interregional policy framework is too flexible (in terms of its scope and agenda-setting) and too inclusive (in terms of its enlargement). (2) Given the inability of ASEM to actively respond to various challenges and to implement properly its policies through its currently available instruments, this Eurasian interregional process cannot be regarded as a fully-fledged contribution the global (multilevel) governance. (3) Therefore interregionalism as part of the ASEM process will not lead to a creation of an "Eurasian Century", despite the undeniable need to identify corresponding supranational political regimes that will efficiently promote a balance of power between Europe, Asia and America. (4) Interregionalism as a political approach cannot be demoted to a loose and informal interaction of nation states or regions only because the current challenges in international relations require an organized and results-oriented framework for cooperation. (5) Additionally, the existing bilateral relations between individual countries in Asia and Europe will continue to be the key and most efficient form of solving various issues and challenges between the states.

Globalisation processes and international organisations evolution: Effectivity and reform of international organisations with an example of the WTO
Procházka, Petr ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
A radical change of the socio-cultural order has brought about globalisation processes. Their consequences in the economic sphere include, mainly, growing interdependence, increasing mobility of the production factors and rising efficiency of the global economy. This brings important causes in the political dimension, were the anarchy at the global level translates into erosion of the role of state sovereignty and creation of world economy inefficiencies. Qualitatively new system of global governance, governance at multiple levels and a regulative sub-system emerge, which the World Trade Organisation is a main example of. To reach an effective solution, it is essential to introduce a reform. The central methodological bases are systems theory and neo-liberal internationalism of this analysis.

Global Governance: definition and current reforms
Brož, Ondřej ; Hnát, Pavel (advisor) ; Nováková, Jana (referee)
Global governance finds itself at the crossroads. Current system is, to some extend, still reflecting world from the first half of the 20th century. Therefore it has not reflected all the changes and is struggling to bring itself up-to-date. Namely, the significant changes in developing world and rise of developing economies seem to be the cause of global governance that is ineffective and out of date. Aim of this paper is therefore to point out necessary changes, focus on main actors of global governance and analyze possible directions that global governance can take in the near future. This paper will mainly focus on economic dimension of global governance. It will show why the new architecture should be build around G20, International Monetary Fund and UN and it will underline changes that are necessary in order to reflect current world situation and improve its legitimacy, effectiveness and power.
