Závodníková, Naďa ; Moravcová, Dagmar (advisor) ; NÁHRADNÍ, OPONENT (referee)
Diploma dissertation "Civil Society in Peace Negotiations. The Case of Colombia" deals with the engagement of the Colombian civil society in the peace negotiations with the Movement 19 (M-19) that took place in 1989-1990, with the National Liberation Army (ELN) in 1998-2002 and with the Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 1999-2002. The examination of the selected peace processes revealed that the civil society had only limited impact on the negotiations. The involvement of the representatives of the civil society led to increase in number and extend of the objectives that were negotiated, decrease in the level of organization of the negotiations and while it did not reinforce the negotiating position of the main actors, it neither disposed with sufficient power to exert an effective pressure on the main actors of the conflict. The performance of the civil society was influenced by the external informal institutions - represented by traditional execution of power, clientelism, functioning of the political parties and continuing internal conflict - and by the internal informal institutions - namely by the characteristics of the colombian civil society and by the structure of incentives in the participative instances. The formal institutions - the Constitution and the laws - proved to have only...

Liberalization of mutual trade between the European Union and Sub-Saharan Africa
Prášil, Václav ; Urban, Luděk (advisor) ; NÁHRADNÍ, OPONENT (referee)
Diploma thesis "Liberalization of mutual trade between the European Union and Sub-Saharan Africa" evaluates the hitherto development of the economic relations between the EEC, or EU, and the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. The analysis covers, after a short excursus to the period of the European colonization, the formation of contractual framework which regulated the exchange of goods between both continents. Special attention is given to the way how this trade regime was adjusted to the particular trends and external pressures often emanating from the international financial institutions. The Cotonou Agreement of 2000 is the reaction to the preceding critiques as well as a synthesis of numerous reforming efforts to boost the linkage between trade and palpable economic and political development of the third world countries. Its main measures have however so far been implemented with certain difficulties. The thesis also underscores the fact that the member countries of the EU themselves have diverse interests. After half century of bold initiatives and spectacular proclamations, it is evident that the original declared targets of the business cooperation between the European Union and the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa were not fulfilled. Certain tangible contributions of the cooperation, including the...

Kyoto Protocol and Geenhouse Gas Emission Trading at Global and Regional Levels
Zástěra, Pavel ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; NÁHRADNÍ, OPONENT (referee)
Diploma thesis "Kyoto Protocol and Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading on Global and Regional Levels" deals with main intellectual currents and initiatives, both economic and political, contributing to negotiations on climate change mitigation and international emissions trading. Subsequently, the thesis analyses them from the point of view of international relations theory and regime theory in particular. A case study focuses on issues related to negotiations and decision-making in the field of climate change in the EU and the European emission trading system. The chapter focusing on applying the externality theory on environmental issues leads the author to the conclusion that despite the fact that both tools setting price and volume can in economic theory, if set on an optimal level, internalize negative externality in an efficient way, in case of greenhouse gas emissions where a risk of sudden deterioration exists, setting an emission system, as a main instrument to mitigate climate change, together with additions measures, is beneficial. Analysis of international climate change negotiations and relevant documents from the point of view of international relations theory and regime theory in particular shows that institutionalization of cooperation in the field of climate change facilitates compromise...

International Trade Liberalization in the European Union Development Policy
Foitová, Lucie ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; NÁHRADNÍ, OPONENT (referee)
Diploma thesis' ultimate objective is to assess the role of International Trade Liberalization in the European Union Development Policy and to put the EU's activities in this field within the global framework of world trade in the context of the WTO. European Union within its budget and the European Development Fund provide more than half of all global funds for world development assistance and is thus the world leader. Its main objective is the gradual integration of developing countries into the world economy, promoting sustainable development and especially poverty eradication. The thesis is on a number of examples confirming the absence of general consensus on the benefits of liberalization of world trade not only for developing countries, but also in general. It cites numerous studies highlighting the growing concern of poor countries about the impact of continued trade liberalization, resulting in a dramatic increase in imported agricultural and food products, which the developing countries cannot compete. The thesis is in its conclusions commenting on realistic voices within the EU leadership, taking into account concerns of developing countries about the rapid and complete liberalization of trade as legitimate. EU is the largest commercial and development partner in the world and therefore must take...
