OF DIPLOMA THESIS Author: Bc. Veronika Zdeňková Supervisor: Mgr. Petra Dvořáková Advisor: Mgr.

Czech-Chinese foreign relations: perspectives of cooperation
Zdeňková, Veronika ; Peterková, Jana (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
The development of the People's Republic of China over the last decades is considered being one of the most significant trends in the current international environment. The Czech Republic has also experienced series of political, economical and social changes over the last years. However, the development of the Czech-Chinese foreign relations has not so far reflected these fundamental changes sufficiently. This thesis therefore describes the past development of the Czech-Chinese foreign relations and the development of the foreign policies of both sides and examines options for their mutual cooperation in the future. It is concluded that increased mutual cooperation could be beneficial for both sides for which supporting arguments covering the political and economic fields are presented separately for the Czech Republic and the People's Republic of China. In addition, specific diplomatic, economic and ideological instruments are proposed that might be used by both states in order to intensify the mutual Czech-Chinese foreign relations.
