China in Africa - development and motives of cooperation
Kučerová, Tereza ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
The China-African relations have a tradition of several centuries. However, in last two decades, the character of their relations changes and is getting the dimension of a phenomenon. Currently, China is in a very advantageous position - one leg in the developing world, the other in the developed one. Its economic growth reaches about ten percent a year and its economy has enlarged beyond the state's frontiers. China thus becomes dependent on the international trade in both export and import of sources. The African continent can offer both. This situation, however, is hardly compatible with the role of a superpower which China desires and which is attributed to it by many specialists. This thesis analyses three motives of mutual cooperation - commerce, raw materials and political and strategic interests. Its aim is to give a compact and comprehensive picture which will prove the trueness of the three motives. For better accession and understanding, case studies of selected countries are an integral part of the thesis.

The thesis concentrates on the relations between the People's Republic of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Nevertheless, the relationship between them is analyzed in the context of the Chinese long-term strategy for the Korean Peninsula. The primary Chinese interests related to North Korea are identified together with instruments that can China use to accomplish them. Special focus is given to the assessment of the economic influence that China has over North Korea. However, the Chinese economic leverage is examined in connection with political and military relations between those two countries and in broader context of the development of international relations in Northeast Asia.

Sino-african economic cooperation
Stará, Veronika ; Němečková, Tereza (advisor) ; Adamcová, Lenka (referee)
A topic sino-african relations is in a Czech literature overlook. An idea that there are only few reasons for which China and Africa should maintain some important relations is misconception. The sino-african relations have a sixty years long history from a help during the national wars for independence, ideological belongings to a current economic cooperation which reflects a chinese industrial need for raw materials. The economic cooperation lays on a political agreement, an investment activity and a vast aid provided. Chinese demand for african raw materials increses revenue of african countries which are abundant in demanded raw materials and accelarate their development. Through all chinese statements it uses its stronger position against disunited african states which still look for a way how to gain from the sino-african cooperation in the future. China turns a blind eye and ignore critical situations in some african states and misuse non-democratical groups there for its own benefit. At the same time it is clear that it cannot long forever. China will have to participate in solving african problems to protects its own matters there.
