The legal aspects of withrawal from the European Union
Kaminská, Jana ; Grmelová, Nicole (advisor) ; Hubková, Pavlína (referee)
My bachelor thesis focuses on the legal aspects of a state's withdrawal from the European Union. It analyzes current legislation, compares it with different organizations, and uses Great Britain as an example. The main goal of this thesis is an impact assessment of said withdrawal which outlines the relationship between Great Britain and the European Union. This thesis is divided into several parts. The first part deals with European integration and its causes, goals, and problems. The second part is about the nature of withdrawal - definition, impacts, and an examples of an alternative solution which would be applicable after such an action. The third part focuses in detail on the Lisbon Treaty along with analysis of Article 50 and comments on this amendment. In the fourth part, the comparison of World Trade Organization legislation is made. The case study is all about Great Britain in which withdrawal was the most plausible and realistic option due to the increase of euroscepticism. This case study outlines the relationship between Great Britain and the European Union, mentions negotiated exceptions (opt-outs), considers the causes and probability of withdrawal as well as the economic and overall impacts. The conclusion of this thesis contains a summary of the most important thoughts and points out the danger of such an important step like withdrawal.

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.

The Politics of Developing Countries in the WTO
Kubů, Zuzana ; Volenec, Otakar (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
This thesis aims to analyze the position and influence of developing countries in the WTO. The key points of analysis are the participation of developing countries throughout the history of the GATT/WTO, an assessment of their activity and participation in the WTO bodies and decision-making process, an examination of their bagaining power, suggesting that the position of developing countries may improve through the formation of coalitions. Through a study and analysis of the current round of trade negotiations and its roadblocks, this paper assesses the current position and influence of developing countries in the WTO with an emphasis on the recurring deadlocks of the round. The main phenomena of the current round are an increase in coalition activity and the emergence of a new group of dominant players, namely India, China and Brazil. Owing to these new trends, developing countries in the WTO have been able to vigorously promote their interests. However, these interests clash with those of the developed world, which results in a stalemate of the negotiations.
