EEC and CMEA in 1957-1973
Krejčová, Jana ; Svoboda, Karel (advisor) ; Lomíček, Jan (referee)
The relationship between the European Economic Community and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance went through a major transformation between 1957 and 1973. This thesis argues that the institutional interactions between these two organizations were a logical consequence of their internal development. Both represented a regional economic integration and despite political and ideological differences they have been forced to establish a certain level of cooperation, due to the expanding contacts between the member states. After the signing of the Treaties of Rome, which founded EEC, CMEA refused to recognize de jure the existence of the Community and condemned it as a discriminatory capitalist organization. At the same time the Council passed reforms that were supposed to link its economies and strengthen the cohesion of the Eastern bloc. By adoption of the Statute of 1959, the CMEA established its internal structure and operating principles. The first success of the EEC, the pursuit of its own reforms and the UK application motivated CMEA to revise its attitude to the EEC for the first time. The Soviet leadership tried unsuccessfully to get through a supranational leadership of the CMEA - principle they criticized in the EEC for being discriminatory. After the appointment of de Gaulle as...

Development of Romanian-Soviet relations in 1950s and 1960s.
Nakládal, Tomáš ; Tejchman, Miroslav (advisor) ; Šisler, Filip (referee)
This thesis deals with relations between Romania and the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 60s. It aims to analyse which elements had an impact on relations between Bucharest and Moscow. After the death of J. V. Stalin, there was relaxation in relations within the eastern bloc. Romanian communists, under the leadership of Gheorgiu-Dej, had very ambitious plans for the industrialisation of the country, which would guarantee them national sovereignty. A significant moment during was the withdrawal of the Soviet troups from Romania in 1958. Khrushchev's criticism of Stalin's Cult of Personality, combined with his policy of peaceful coexistence with the West, enabled Romania to pursue its own way towards socialism based on the polycentric perception of the world communist movement, national sovereignty, and independence. Contradictions existed between the two countries, not only in bilateral relations, but in international organisations of the eastern bloc, such as CMEA and the Warsaw Pact. Soviet proposals for economic specialisation of the CMEA countries and for transforming the Warsaw Pact into an supra-national organisation were considered unacceptable to Romanians. Romania sought support for its economic plans in maoist China. The dismissive position of Romania towards the Soviet proposals differed...

Importance of the European members of the CMEA for Foreign Trade of Czechoslovakia in the seventies of the 20th century.
Němeček, Michal ; Szobi, Pavel (advisor) ; Dufek, Pavel (referee)
The thesis analyzes the influence of non-european members of the CMEA, who came in the seventies, on foreign trade Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. It starts with brief characteristics of foreign trade and periodization of the development of Comecon organization. It also mentions the characteristics of foreign trade of Czechoslovakia in the 70s of the 20th century. Then focuses on the analysis of statistical data on foreign trade between Czechoslovakia and Cuba and then between Czechoslovakia and Vietnam. This work attempts to answer whether the accession of non-european states to the Comecon organization was of great importance to increase CSSR´s trade turnover with these countries. The answer to this question is partly unclear - Cuba's accession to the organization, was of great importance to increase amount of foreign trade with Czechoslovakia, whereas in Vietnam I can not say with certainty that the accession resulted in an increase in amount of foreign trade because it grew annually at a high pace before the accession of Vietnam to the CMEA.

Later trade relations were very strongly influenced by a centrally planned economy and politics of Czechoslovakia and the membership of Czechoslovakia CMEA.
