Vietnam enters WTO
Duong, Minh Vuong ; Gullová, Soňa (advisor) ; Laschoberová, Libuše (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on development of Vietnam from a centrally planned economy to market economy. This thesis is divided into 7 chapters and thematically into two parts. The first part describes the "Doi Moi" reform, which led to the economic success of Vietnam. Effect of economic reforms is closely linked to the entry of Vietnam into the WTO. Doi Moi has contributed to the acceleration of the economy and reducing poverty in many rural areas. The second part includes the procedure of entry of Vietnam into the WTO and the benefits and pitfalls that membership brings. Doi Moi reform and the actual entry of Vietnam into the WTO is closely linked due to changes that started the economy of the country for a long period devastated by war. Entry to the WTO for a relatively poor country like Vietnam is indeed a success. By the entry into WTO the Vietnamese government has proven the ability to meet the objectives set out from the first steps of the Doi Moi reform .

Analysis of the WTO Dispute on Trade with GMOs
Everett, Kirstin Elizabeth ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Zamykalová, Miroslava (referee)
In 2003 the United States filed an official complaint against the European Community at the World Trade Organization in regards to the ban imposed on GM crops within the EU, saying that there was no scientific defense for their point of view, and this had created barriers to trade. After one of the longest dispute settlement in WTO history, the body sided with the US and deemed the ban to be restricting free trade. Conflicting research on the safety of GM crops has further complicated the matter and many members of the EU are still choosing to ban GM crops in defiance of the WTO ruling.

Role of the WTO in economic progress of developing countries
Walter, Jan ; Adamcová, Lenka (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
Underdevelopment of developing countries is in present one of the thorniest problems of the world. Economic globalisation brings about increasingly deeper integration of world markets and increasing volumes of international trade. Multilateral trading system represented by the World Trade Organization (WTO) is one of the instruments that can, under certain circumstances, strongly contribute to economic progress of developing countries. The goal of the thesis is to reveal such circumstances and describe their coherence with the WTO and its predecessor the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Firstly, the thesis focuses on theoretical basis of international trade as an instrument of economic development. The thesis also describes possible imperfections of the theory specifically with regard to developing countries. Secondly, the role of the WTO in the process of liberalisation of international trade and its activities leading to reduction or elimination of the imperfections are described. The thesis shows that, on the known theoretical basis, it is possible for developing countries to gain from liberalisation of international trade on the multilateral basis. The thesis, however, also indicates that it is possible to achieve certain improvements in the existing system to the benefit of the developing countries and leading to their greater and more equitable involvement in the international division of labour.
