It primarily highlights different approaches to addressing the consequences of the crisis, including a proactive economical policy and a passive economic policy.

The third last chapter is focused on political impacts of the Great Depression, in particular those affecting the shape of the state system. This section examines the rise of right-wing populist military dictatorships, the emergence of ideas of communism and the decline of democracy.

BRIC - a group of special attention
Selezneva, Evgeniya ; Žamberský, Pavel (advisor) ; Suchá, Tereza (referee)
BRICs is an acronym for a group of four emerging countries: Brazil, Russia, India and China. The sequence of letters in the word is determined not only by harmony but also by the fact that the word BRIC in the English transcription is very similar to the word "brick". Members of BRICs are characterized as the most rapidly developing major countries. Advantageous position of these countries is ensured by a large number of important resources they possess: Brazil - agricultural products Russia - mineral resources India - cheap intellectual resources China - cheap labour force. In my work I want to focus mainly on two countries: Russia and China.
