Approaches to ensuring energy security in the EU and the USA
Kopová, Petra ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
The need to ensure that reliable, affordable and sustainable energy is a clear priority in building a powerful and strong economy. Therefore energy security has gradually become an integral part of the economic and foreign policies of the European Union and the United States of America. Although this concept did not exist ten years ago, energy security has rapidly risen in importance in the last decade. Both the USA and the EU have implemented energy issues as one of the pillars of their national security. The first chapter of this paper addresses the definition of energy security and characterizes its particular subsystems. The second part is devoted to real security in terms of the first and the second subsystem (the securing of energy resources, and the transport and transformation of energy resources). The final chapter briefly defines the energy policies of the European Union and the United States and compares approaches to ensuring the energy security of both regions. The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to identify and clarify the similarities or potential differences between these two approaches.

Je přítomen i v jiných sférách hospodářství, čímž se stává vlivným instrumentem vnitřní a vnější politiky a ekonomiky Ruska.

Energy volatility of the world economy and its impact on energy security of the Czech Republic
Kopecký, Jan ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Vondrušková, Barbora (referee)
Sustainable development of the human society is continuously dependent on energy resources. On one side, demand of energy resources still grows while, on the other hand, the availability of energy resources decreases. It is not determined only by decreasing reserves of non-renewable resources but also by other factors - economic, ecologic, technologic and by politics because possession of energy resources helps to strenghten economic power and makes it easier to enforce one's political interests. Thus it is crucial to be concerned with energy volatility of Europe (as a region) since solving this issue in Europe is directly connected with the Czech Republic which cannot deal with its energy volatility in an isolation on a national level.

Energy policy of the European Union
Hasmanová, Věra ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Jiránková, Martina (referee)
Práce analyzuje faktory ovlivňující hlubší spolupráci států EU v sektoru energetiky a možnost vytvoření společné energetické politiky. Zaměřuje se na hlavní překážky větší integrace v tomto sektoru, především na problematiku strategičnosti odvětví, jaderné energie, národní rozdíly mezi státy a rozdílné postoje členských států k hlavním dodavatelům energií do EU. Rozebírá energetické politiky vybraných členských států a hodnotí současné strategie EU, které mají vést k vytvoření hlubší spolupráce. Poukazuje na energetickou bezpečnost jednotlivých států i EU jako celku a s tím související rostoucí závislost na dovozech energií.
