Jaroš, Milan ; Ludvík, Jan (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on Russian international trade of conventional weapons. Arms trade had played an important role during the Cold War as a tool to gain influence. Currently, Russia is using it to regain the influence it had lost after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in various regions around the world. At the same time, Russia is the second largest arms exporter after the United States. The thesis briefly addresses past Russian arms trade, but the main focus is on the decade between 2010 and 2020. It answers the question whether Russia currently uses its arms trade opportunistically to only maximalise its economic profit or whether it serves as a part of a larger strategy to balance the influence of the United States. The work focuses on Asia, the MENA region, and Latin America. It analyses circumstances surrounding arms deliveries from Russia into the countries in these regions. The thesis consists of several case studies, which illustrate the evolution of Russian approach towards arms trade. It reaches the conclusion that, for Russia, international arms trade is an important tool to help reach its foreign policy goals. Russia maintains strong and stable relations with the most important trade partners to support its defence industry. At the same time, other countries receive...

Bitcoin - Legal Aspects and Regulation
Moravec, Jiří ; Kohajda, Michael (advisor) ; Kotáb, Petr (referee)
in English The motivation for this thesis is to analyze Bitcoin as Bitcoin is still a new phenomenon and requires an economical, legal, and legislative evaluation. In this thesis we seek an answer to the question what is Bitcoin. This thesis is divided into three main blocks, within them we use analytical, descriptive, and comparative methods. In the first part, we aim mostly on the economic side of Bitcoin, comparing Bitcoin to money in general sense. In the second part, we argue whether Bitcoin shall be considered a thing in a legal sense under the Czech law. In the third part, we describe the current Bitcoin's regulatory situation and suggest a drafting of Bitcoin specific regulation. The conclusion of this thesis is that Bitcoin is a digital medium of exchange that cannot be considered money or currency. To the extent, Bitcoin might be interpreted in ways where it does not satisfy the legal definition of a thing in legal sense, but for regulatory purposes it shall be, at least for now, considered a thing in legal sense. We also suggest that Bitcoin shall be systematically regulated by imposing various duties on persons who's scope of business is relating to the Bitcoin.

The aim of this work is to introduce a coherent summary of monetary unions in the world and subsequently to present research of their current economic and political situations. In addition, the question of viability of present and potential monetary unions is also examined. The work also focuses on the geographical aspects of these problems. The comparative method and the method of conformity and difference were used for the research. In the research were found different magnitudes of proportions of various criteria between single members of the monetary unions. Selection of them was inspired by Mundell's A Theory of Optimum Currency Areas and by the methodology of Fragile States Index. Three economic and three political indicators were analysed and afterwards the monetary unions were evaluated as member states and whole monetary unions from a geographical perspective. We discovered from our research that between all of the selected African monetary unions, there exist relatively big differences in political criteria for single member states. Smaller differences were found between the member states of the fourth selected monetary union, that is, East Caribbean Currency Union. The differences were smaller in the economic domain. It was discovered on the basis of evaluation of the countries with the...
