Fair Trade: the Fair Trade Organization
Castro Chaparro, Enrique Adolfo ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Zamykalová, Miroslava (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to clarify concepts regarding the Fair Trade system and to contribute to an objective debate about the viability of the model and its real effects. It analyses history and development of trade; trade institutions and major players, development theories and namely concepts of Free Trade and Fair Trade and the differences between them. It is not fair to blame the market for the poverty and hardships of the poor; but it is also unwise to expect things to be fixed alone. Fair Trade is an alternative; a choice. It must not be taken as something unquestionably beneficial, but it must not be demonized either: a sincere debate is necessary to assess the effectiveness of Fair Trade and other forms of help to combat poverty.

Fair Trade: Altruismus, nebo egoismus?
Pánek, Martin ; Chalupníček, Pavel (advisor) ; Petrášek, František (referee)
This bachelor thesis discusses the issue of Fair Trade. It tries to solve the question whether Fair Trade is an altruistic, or an egoistic phenomenon. The thesis explains how the author understands the terms "altruism" and "egoism" and then describes the methodology used to distinguish between the two. Special attention is paid to the problem of information asymmetry and how Fair Trade is specific in this respect. The thesis largely discusses Fair Trade as development aid and questions the effectiveness of this particular kind of development aid; it clarifies what role the problem of altruism plays in it. This thesis also discusses the issue of public choice related to the main topic. It reviews some examples of public decisions and links them back to the question of altruism. Using standard microeconomic analysis, the thesis is concluded with a statement on altruism or egoism behind Fair Trade.

Analýza Fair Trade jako tržního nástroje řešení chudoby obyvatel třetího světa
Duchoslavová, Romana ; Svoboda, Miroslav (advisor) ; Hlaváč, Petr (referee)
Hnutí Fair Trade v podobě ve které se objevuje dnes existuje ve světě od 60. let minulého století. Základní cíl, které si toto hnutí stanoví, je zlepšení podmínek producentů třetího světa, kteří jsou podle stoupenců FT hnutí na mezinárodních trzích znevýhodněni. Prostředkem, k tomuto cíli je existence férové ceny, za kterou FT obchodníci tyto plodiny a výrobky vykupují.?Hnutí Fair Trade je stále předmětem diskusí. Tato práce by se měla věnovat rozboru argumentace pro i proti a v závěru zhodnotit jednotlivá stanoviska a přiklonit se k jednomu z nich.
