Motýlová, Ivana ; Druláková, Radka (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
This diploma thesis analyses the security dimension of South Korea's foreign policy. This analysis is lead by the tools of realism theory: security dilemma, arms races and definition of the state as the main security actor. These tools are considered to be more suitable for the explication of this topic than the tools of social constructivism represented by the so called Copenhagen school and above all its security complex theory. The aim of this thesis is to prove that in the security area of South Korea's foreign policy, security is still viewed in the traditional realistic sense of a one-dimensional military-political security rather than the multi dimensional view of security prevailing in the international relations area since the Cold War end. In this thesis, South Korea's role in the international system is depicted with the emphasis on the security field from the beginning of the 20th century to the contemporary era. Furthermore, the close security area (East Asian region) and direct security area (North Korea) of South Korea are examined. The last chapter consists of an analysis of official government documents concerning the security dimension of current South Korea's foreign policy.

Relations in commercial law of the Republic of Korea
Pappová, Martina ; Kotoučová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Švarc, Zbyněk (referee)
The increasing volume of bilateral trade between the Czech Republic and the Republic of Korea is the statistical fact. Korean companies employ many Czech workers. Korean companies cooperate with many subcontractors, that come from different legal environment. Czech managers communicate with Korean investors. In these interactions there is not only a possibility of conflict of different cultural traditions, but also legal culture. I seemed it therefore appropriate to examine what legal environment the Korean investors and business partners came from, and what misunderstandings may possibly arise from the lack of information. Another area of practical application of my work can be a legal relationship with an international element. If the parties choose the law applicable to their contract, it is essential for the actors of the contract to be aware of differences in the jurisdictions considered. The Korean law was influenced by both continental legal system and Anglo-American legal system. Moreover, there are still noticeable the residues of traditional Chinese law, and he later developed traditional Korean law. Due to these different influences, the current Korean law is interesting from a theoretical point of view, too. The source for this work is the Korean commercial and civil act and the Czech Commercial and Civil Code. Whereas I have never learned Korean, I was studying Korean laws in their English translation. In my comments I would like to suggest basic differences between the Czech and Korean law. I hope that my work will provide enough information for the theoretical understanding of the differences and similarities of Korean and Czech legislation.
