China and Southeast Asia: Trade Integration and Rivalry
Sukhova, Ekaterina ; Semerák, Vilém (advisor) ; Riegl, Martin (referee)
South-East Asian region is the most dynamic region in the world. It is also known for having enormous number of RTAs, which became the main drive force for trade integration. Moreover, China is the leader in this region, changing fast and becoming either a pioneer or a threat for the neighbor countries. This paper uses a gravity model to estimate the influence of RTAs on the countries in the region and attempts to find out whether new agreements will deeper the trade cooperation or make the 'spaghetti bowl' effect even worse.

The evolution of Elettariopsis (Zingiberaceae)
Hlavatá, Kristýna ; Fér, Tomáš (advisor) ; Dančák, Martin (referee)
This work attempts to offer an insight into the problematic of the genus Elettariopsis Baker, the last unrevised genus in the subfamily Alpinioideae (Zingiberaceae). Phylogenetic analyses are performed on ITS, matK and DCS sequence data and correlated with absolute genome size and biogeographical distribution of the samples. Elettariopsis as a genus is found to be weakly supported and strongly supported only with the addition of some species of Amomum Roxb., including the type species A. subulatum. The absolute genome size in this group is greater than in the outgroup represented by members of the Zingiberoideae subfamily. The evidence given by sequence data further suggests that Elettariopsis is divided into two well-supported groups, the "E. curtisii" group and the "E. triloba/E. unifolia" group, each of which contains several well-supported clades. In the analysis of absolute genome size it is shown that the absolute genome size in the "E. triloba/E.unifolia" group is higher than in the "E. curtisii" group. These two groups also differ slightly in their biogeographical distribution, the group G being distributed in only in Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, while members of group H are also occurring in Singapore and Indonesia (Borneo). Keywords: Zingiberaceae, Elettariopsis, South-East Asia, ITS,...

Thailand's position in the world economy
Klimešová, Nikola ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Zamykalová, Miroslava (referee)
The thesis describes the position of Thailand in the world economy. Its aim is to answer these questions: Which role does the country play, or will play, in the world economy? What are its main strengths and weaknesses? How will the future development be? It is achieved by an analysis of Thailand's recent history, current economical state, integrative trends, and its international trade. In the conclusion, the future development is forecasted, based on various analyses of the region.
