The Energy dependency of world´s economic centers
Štesková, Beáta ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
This master's thesis aims to assess energy dependency on primary energy sources of the three main economic actors in the contemporary world scene that includes the European Union, the United States and China. Energy geopolitics gets a new face nowadays, turns upside down and the centers of world economy must face all these changes. Disparity in availability of energy sources and consumption, new drilling and manufacturing technologies, methods of extractions, new players and adopted energy policies as well as limited domestic supplies have a significant impact on the structure of the energy mix and energy (un)self-sufficiency. In the first part, the author deals with engineering and deployment of observed energy sources as well as the definition of energy dependency respectively energy security. In the next chapters, the author focuses especially on three economic centers while analyzing the nature, characteristics and trend of their production and consumption of energy as well as energy raw materials flow to these countries respectively to integrations. At the end, the author obtains by these analyses an image of energy dependency or vulnerability of these economies.

European dependence on oil and its consequences
Koderová, Markéta ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Machytka, Daniel (referee)
Energy plays a fundamental role in economic activities. It influences our everyday life and concerns everyone of us. Exactly due to these reasons it is necessary to be concerned with the energetic situation of our region and with the state of dependency related to using oil as an energetic source in Europe. This is the crucial topic and major objective of the research of this work. At the same time the attention is paid to outlining possible recommendations for the European countries considering territorial diversification and reserching the spectrum of potential alternatives to oil.

European Union energy dependency in the context of its trade policy
Reginevich, Yuliya ; Hnát, Pavel (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
The thesis is about energy dependency of the European Union. Aim of the work is to analyze the situation of the energy relations of European Union and regions, which are the main energy suppliers from the trade policy point of view. Thesis is aimed at characterizing trade instruments used in trade with natural resources. EU - North Africa relations are studied in more detailed way as a concrete example of energy relations.

EU-Russia: mutual energy relations
Bezrodná, Ksenija ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Kašpar, Václav (referee)
Depleting fossil fuel reserves in EU and energy consumption growth lead to the fact that the European Union is becoming increasingly dependent on energy imports. The most important energy partner of the EU is Russia which delivers the biggest volumes of oil and natural gas to european countries. High rate of energy dependency on Russia is - especially in the context of gas crisis - perceived as a threat to EU energy security and it is necessary to deal with it immediately. The aims of the European Union policy on energy are to achieve higher territorial diversification of fossil fuel suppliers and transit countries and diversification of the EU energy mix, to promote renewable forms of energy and to establish common energy market to ensure solidarity among EU member states. European Union also should learn how to act as "one actor" and "one voice" on energy relations with Russia because that could help to ensure better negotiation position and to become a sovereign partner in mutual energy relations with Russia.

Development of EU's energy dependence
Glockner, Martin ; Vondrušková, Barbora (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
There is a huge disproportion, in the world we know today, in terms of geographical distribution between the mining sites and the location of final consumption of energy resources. The aim of this thesis is to analyze this imbalance, to quantify the dependence of the EU region and to analyze European energy policy, its conception, evolution and transformation.

Energy dependency of the EU with focus on Russia
Braunová, Marie ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Harmáček, Jaromír (referee)
The European Union is becoming increasingly dependent on energy imports. Especially oil and natural gas imports are rising as their production in Europe declines. The most important energy partner of the EU is Russia, which delivers the biggest volumes of oil and natural gas to european countries. The highest rate of energy dependency on Russia can be observed in eastern and central Europe, where diverzification of energy supplies is one of key issues. It is necessary to reduce the energy dependency on russian gas, but at the same time, it is important to build a stable partnership with Russia, which is striving to become a leader at the global energy market, where demand for fossil fuels is rapidly rising. Apart from searching alternative suppliers to russian natural gas in order to achieve higher energy independence, an important role could play alternative energy sources, energy savings or rebirth of nuclear energy.
