This diploma thesis deals with conflict prevention in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Its aim was to compare its relevance and results in the both countries.

This was examined in terms of Copenhagen school and its broaden meaning of security, whereas the paper focused on the political, economic and societal dimension. Then the notion of conflict prevention was framed within terminological and historical context and considered in terms of its trends and current challenges. At the end of the theoretical section, the concepts if security dimensions and conflict prevention were discussed in terms of their applicability for the case studies of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.

Laube, Pavel ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Kašpar, Václav (referee)
The study works with the paradigm of energy security of supply in the context of three Central Asian republics; Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It focus on the relations related to gas and oil. The subjects are analyzed from the point of their own energy strategy, institutions' efficiency as well as position in the energy market. The analysis deals with the main external actors; Russia, China and European Union. A great stress is laid on the evolution in gas and oil trading and the energy infrastructure in the region. Problems of relation between energy, security and politics are included. I try to cover the main trends in the gas and oil market and put them in the context of Central Asia. My conclusions limit the popular scheme of russian dominance and stress the growing cooperation with China, in contrast to EU. However, the growing interconnection of the euroasian gas market is also very important.

Ekonomický význam Kaspického moře pro státy regionu
Dreiseitl, Daniel ; Kašpar, Václav (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
Kaspický region tvoří pět států, jejichž ekonomické vztahy s Kaspickým mořem se navzájem liší. Je to dáno třemi hlavními faktory: existence právního režimu, stav zásob a hustota infrastruktury. Na jednom konci se nachází Ázerbájdžán a Kazachstán, kteří jsou zcela závislý na produktech jezera, následuje Turkmenistán a Rusko, pro něž Kaspické moře neznamená hlavní ekonomický příjem a na konci je Írán s minimálním užitkem. Ekonomický prospěch z Kaspického moře může být ohromující, pokud stát splňuje všechny tři podmínky (Ázerbájdžán nebo Kazachstán), ale pokud se nebude držet určitých zásad, může ji také silně poškodit.
