Husáková, Gabriela ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; Karlas, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of different efficiency between two integrational organizations in Latin America: Andean Community, and Union of South American Nations, by using neoliberal theory of international relations to examine he causes as to why the Andean Community is more efficient than the Union of South American Nations. First, the theoretical definition of neoliberal theory and the concept of cooperation problems are discussed. Then, follow chapters describing integration in Latin America, in general with all its characteristics, and a chapter describing history and basic institutional settings of the two organizations. In the practical part, each cooperation problem is either applied to the organizations and a relation between these problems and institutional setting, number of member states, and homogeneity between member states is examined. In the conclusion, the all three cooperational problems are brought together to determine, whether the main cause of different efficiency is the institutional setting and number of member states, or the homogeneity between members.

This work describes current economic situation in Peru, which is illustrated by selected macroeconomic indicators. It describes the evolution of the Inca empire, through the Spanish conquest, independence struggle and briefly deals with the policy over the past 20 years. Peruvian industrial structure, main exported commodities and major trading partners are also mentioned. The second chapter includes a description of the Andean Community of Nations since its foundation in 1969 until the present, describes its development goals, which were initially very ambitious and beyond realistic options of the member countries. The work also mentions the crises, which has the Community passed, and finally achievements in the field of international cooperation, liberalization of trade and deepening the integration. The last chapter analyzes the status of Peru, among other Member States and compares them based on macroeconomic data and social indicators. Peruvian exports to the countries of CAN are only 5% of its total exports and trade balance with countries of CAN is consistently negative. Therefore it is important for Peru to trade without tariff barriers with the other countries of CAN and to benefit from the political leverage in international trade agreements.
