Bamwesigye, Dastan
The study assesses some effects on factors on coffee production and export in Uganda, examines the economic effect of trade liberalization of the coffee subsector in Uganda, and nonetheless establishes the different types of ties used for coffee development in East African region as well. The study employed both Regression and Correlation methods to analyse the data collected from the coffee value chain, Regulators, and the farmer families. Analysis of a time series data on production, export, world prices and domestic consumption data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) was done using ordinary least squares (OLS). The results illustrated that coffee production and the world price index have a positive relationship with coffee exports in Uganda. Nonetheless, indicated an inverse relationship between domestic coffee consumption and exports. The study further shows that coffee exports, domestic consumption and world price have a positive relationship with production. The research findings show that there are statistically significant relationships between Family Ties and Coffee development in Uganda (r= -0.038, p-value< 0.025 (=0.822)), Farm to Farm ties (Beta=-0.304, t=-2.253p<0.025 (=0.014)), and Friendship Ties and Coffee development (r= -0.222, p-value< 0.025 (=0.048)) respectively. The study recommends that the government of Uganda as a matter of urgency implement the existing coffee policies and if necessary, make some modifications to improve production and promote the product on the international markets for more competitiveness and maximum earnings.

The prospects of the Doha round: Asia’s attitude towards negotiations
Balúnová, Slávka ; Hnát, Pavel (advisor) ; Cihelková, Eva (referee)
India, China and Indonesia are among the six largest and fastest growing economies in the world (BRIICS). Rich countries are still reluctant to accept the fact that developing countries are becoming stronger and that the balance of economic power is shifting. The international community therefore seeks to find the way how to deal with this situation and the answer is to involve developing countries in the international trade. The main objective of the WTO is to involve developing countries in world trade and to create better conditions for them. Therefore, in 2001, the Doha Development Agenda has commenced and its aim is to achieve the goals of the WTO. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the success of the Doha round and its prospects with the focus on the attitudes and interests of the major Asian economies, namely China, India and Indonesia.

Influence of trade liberalization on the sources of the economic growth of Brazil
Colmenárez García, Anna Carolina ; Hnát, Pavel (advisor) ; Jiránková, Martina (referee)
This diploma thesis studies the influence of trade liberalization on the sources of the economic growth of Brazil. The theoretical part of this work presents some definitions of economic growth and characteristics from two basic economic growth models: the Solow model and the endogenous growth model. Regarding trade liberalization, some international trade theories are presented in this thesis, including the basis of protectionist measures, which are frequently implemented around the world. The practical part of this work analyzes the course of the Brazilian economy throughout different periods, where the GDP growth rate, sources of economic growth and the presence of protectionist policies are taking into account. Later on, the thesis reviews the trade liberalization process that Brazil experimented in the 1990s and how this process influenced the performance of the Brazilian GDP. For long time, the topics of positive effects of free international trade and the unavoidable globalization process have been on the table. Brazil enjoys conditions that are given for economic success. However, the question is whether Brazil will manage to make full use of these favorable conditions and handle the obstacles that come up along the way to its development, while enforcing free international trade and promoting its full liberalization aiming to positively influence economic growth.
