The Rise of China in the Global Energy Governance: An analysis of China's International Energy Policy
Merlo, Piero ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kučerová, Irah (referee)
As the world's largest energy consumer and producer, China is the leading player of the international energy arena. Among other important achievements, China has become the world's largest wind power market as well as largest producer of hydroelectricity and solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity. In recent years China has been at the centre of almost every work stream within the International Energy Agency (IEA), and many other international energy organizations. This thesis aims to understand what role China can and will play in global energy governance by examining how its domestic energy context shapes the country's attitudes toward the multilateral, market and climate change aspects of global energy governance. China's recent re-emergence has resulted in a significant increase in the global demand of commodities and is already having major impacts on the dynamics of global commodity markets. In the case of the global uranium market, we are at the very beginning of a new era in the global energy system. However, we can already observe interesting trends. My research question will be," How China's search for supplies changes and influences its role in the global energy governance? "

Baluchová, Daniela ; Stuchlíková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Žamberský, Pavel (referee)
China's economic miracle is more than impressive. The thesis focuses on the factors influencing the development of economic situation in recent years. It is pointed out the connection between rapid economic growth and substantial deterioration of the environment, particularly the air pollution. The chinese authorities have recently adopted strict measures and regulations to predict the negative impacts of pollution on the living standard of inhabitants. It is obvious that the questions concerned the environmental issues need to be discussed at international level. There have been decsribed some agreements of bilateral and regional characters as well as multilateral commitments of Chinese People's Republic.
