Relationship between Free Trade Agreements and Foreign Direct Investment
Kim, Hyunjin ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Zamykalová, Miroslava (referee)
This paper analyzed the FDI trends between Korea and its FTA partners which were Chile, Singapore and EFTA. The other group was central European countries and their FTA partner countries that are Chile, Mexico and South Africa. The empirical studies of FDI developments after FTA have found that the results were different from country to country even though they have the FTA status with the same countries. Korea has been increased FDI investment in its FTA partner countries but not with Chile and EFTA. Similarly, Germany has increased its FDI in their FTA partner countries after FTA. But most central European countries which are Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary were not much changed their FDI investment after FTA. But their investment also increased when we measure FDI in the absolute numbers between before and after FTA. Regarding the prospects of FDI flows between Korea and central European countries after ROKEU FTA, We took into accounts such as FDI trends with its FTA partners, FDI regime and current FDI position etc including ROKEU FTA itself. Basically, we could predict that FDI would increase in central European countries from Korea when we consider the previous trends between them and the results of empirical analyses of the FTA partner countries. So it is hard to say that FDI will be increased in Korea from these countries after FTA. But Germany would be very active outward economy and it would invest more in South Korea than before FTA.

The Way of Tea as a part of culture understanding
HORÁKOVÁ, Kamila
The thesis is focused on a tea ceremony phenomenon. This work follows the tea ceremony ways of China, Korea and Japan, which refer to a very specific form of eastern culture. Based on the historical context analysis, social and culture meaning, semantic, aesthetic and philosophic elements, it rediscovers possible traces of cultural transmission. It further analyses this transmission via the means of both integrative and reconstructive hermeneutics and thus shows to what an extent are the above stated methodical approaches practically applicable and viable.
