Poverty Reduction in Developing Countries
Prchal, Tomáš ; Durdisová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Kubelková, Karina (referee)
Poverty is a serious problem of the contemporary world. According to the World Bank statistics more than 1/6 of the world's population suffers from extreme poverty (with daily income less than 1,25 dollars). The main tool of poverty alleviation is the official development aid, which is based on transfers of funds from developed to developing countries. The aim of this thesis is to assess, by how far has the development aid been succesful in reducing the poverty. The analysis of two regions -- East Asia and Sub-saharan Afrika -- will serve this purpose. In East Asia the poverty was reduced by 750 million of people within 25 years. However, the role of development aid was found to be negligible. Sub-saharan Africa, despite large volumes of aid, didn't experience any decrease in poverty incidence at all. The analysis implied that official development aid is not a way out of poverty. The solution is to integrate developing countries to international trade and to follow convenient economic policies establishing an environment favourable to business and foreign direct investments.

Globalisation and Developing Countries
Blažek, Ivan ; Volenec, Otakar (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
The thesis examines the impacts of globalisation on the spheres of economy, politics and culture of the developing world, in the sense of understanding globalisation as interconnecting the civilisational, regulatory and spiritual human constructs into a global system. This scheme is extended to the environmental dimension as a reflection of the conflict between the global system created by man and the pre-existent and superior global system of the ecosphere. In each dimension, the aim is to identify the particular impacts of globalisation on developing countries considering the positive or negative influences on their situation and problems.

The regional integration in Africa-chosen aspects
Bednárová, Ľudmila ; Černá, Iveta (advisor) ; Taušer, Josef (referee)
Disintegration of colonial system during the period of 1960s enabled the emergence of a group of developing countries, that broke out from political addiction and started independent operation. In the region of African countries the decolonisation was rounded out in the 1960 when the first african regional integrations were established. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the development of African regionalism (its chosen aspects), as well as other coherent agreements of cooperation. The thesis focuses on the answers to ulterior questions: Is it possible for Africa to get over huge economic and social backwardness? How did the African regionalism develop in substantially different parts of this continent? What are the results of economic cooperation between EU and Africa? The first chapter explains general social, cultural and political background of regionalism in Africa. The second chapter outlines the evolution of relations among the states of Africa and EU, examined on the basis of small steps in signing the agreements. The third chapter deals with the effectual formation of regionalism in Africa. The fourth chapter demonstrates the differences in approaches to regional integration in different parts of African region. This part compares two regional integrations and EU's attitude towards cooperation with them. The final chapter proposes the possible solutions of the most burning problems in Africa, through the conjoint process or with the help of the developed countries.

Food insecurity in developing countries
Lorencová, Ivana ; Jeníček, Vladimír (advisor) ; Řehořová, Veronika (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to point out that the battle against hunger can be won in our lifetime. However, this problem can not be solved without concerning all connections between undernutrition and other global problems. This thesis contains an analysis of various aspects of health, education, population growth, agriculture or trade which are strongly related to poor nutritional status. The technology, knowledge and resources exist to meet the needs of hungry. As it was revealed in my study, they should not been implemented unless they respect mutual links between different problems.
