Geopolitical significance of the European Union in the perspective of economic influence on its surroundings
Sušanka, Adam ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Ludvík, Jan (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the geopolitical significance of the European Union in terms of its economic impact on neighboring countries. Using the concept of geographical distance, Heartland and Rimland theories, geoeconomic theory and the world system theory, it examines its economic impact on six target countries in the geopolitically important area of Rimland in comparison with the world's three largest power actors. The main goal is to find out whether the European Union as a whole is competitive in geopolitical rivalry with the USA, China and Russia. The first hypothesis of this research claims that the EU's geopolitical influence is comparable to other world powers. Furthermore, a second hypothesis is presented that argues the importance of geographical distance in relation to geopolitical influence, ie the greater the distance of the domestic actor from the target he wants to act on, the more his overall geopolitical influence decreases, which is also analyzed in this project in the case of the European Union and others.
