Region is analysed by realism perspective. While MERCOSUR was understood as a product of bandwagoning executed by Brazil's neighbours, the research about Pacific Alliance was based on balance of power behaviour. I used two research strategies: (1) a descriptive method applying bandwagoning and balance of power concepts on process of creation of both respective organization and (2) comparative analysis to compare coalitions and bring insight on current success of Pacific Alliance and potential outlook in the future. Since the relevant continent is considered as zone of peace, the realistic view on power was enriched by economic aspect. Hence, a driving force in regional affairs is economic, rather than military power.

The factor of power in the international trade and in the international relations
Sheretova, Maria ; Zamykalová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Fireš, Adam (referee)
The topic of my bachelor's thesis is the issue of the factor of power in the international trade and in the international relations. The international trade began to develop intensively in the 19th century. The rate of development of the international trade started to anticipate the pace of world production. However, the power played its unique role long before, thus was one of the major instruments of influence on the state. Till today objectives are achieved with this power. The fundamental concept of theory of the power is often associated with military force, although in modern conditions the effort of the states to find diplomatic solutions for solving the problems without application of military force is growing increasingly. The subject mentioned above can be reviewed from different angles, so I would like to focus particularly on the definition and the concept of division of factor of the power in the international trade and in the international relations.
