EU TRADE AGREEMENTS
PETROVÁ, Michaela
The diploma thesis deals with trade agreements that the EU concludes with third countries in order to remove tariff and non-tariff barriers to foreign trade. The theoretical part deals with the description of legislative documents that regulate the conclusion process of these agreements, where the EU member states are represented by the EU and act externally as a whole. The practical part dealt with the economic impacts of trade agreements with selected countries on the EU in comparison with its member state the Czech Republic. The impacts were assessed according to selected indicators, which focused mainly on the trade balance and employment. According to the studied literature, agreements have a higher impact on small economies and companies, as tariff and non-tariff measures are more difficult for them to overcome than for large corporations. The EU promotes global economic openness and seeks liberalization of the world market, but in recent years there have been increasing views on maintaining barriers, as some studies could jeopardize the competitiveness of the European market in certain commodities.

The Causes of the Deterioration of Trade Relations Between the US and China During the Donald J. Trump Administration
Broda, David ; Hornát, Jan (advisor) ; Sehnálková, Jana (referee)
1 Abstract The thesis' main focus is Donald J. Trump's administration's trade policy towards People's Republic of China. Since taking office, Trump has been striving to turn the trade policy towards PRC into a more protectionist one. His argument is that China's economic prosperity is acquired through unfair trade practices, which damages the economy of USA. Since the beginning of 2018 up until the end of 2019, Trump imposed high tariffs on numerous Chinese goods and PRC does the same in return. The resulting tit-for-tat policies cause the deterioriation of the two countries' trade relations. The thesis searches for the main causes of Trump's trade policy towards PRC, which is in comparison with the two preceding presidential administratives more aggressive. The thesis' primary hypothesis assumes that the cause lies in the risk that the strengthening China poses on the US hegemonic role in the international order. The thesis confirms this hypothesis on the basis of the theory of relative gains, hegemonic stability and comparative advantage. The hypothesis is supported with examples concerning US economy, security, institutional power and legitimacy. 2 Title: The Causes of the Deterioration of Trade Relations Between the US and China During the Donald J. Trump Administration Author: David Broda

Czechoslovak-Argentinian Economic Relations in the years 1945-1989 in the material of Czech archives
Kupka, Jiří ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Křížová, Markéta (referee)
This thesis aims to present and analyse economic relations between Czechoslovakia and Argentina in the years 1945-1989 (i.e. a period that almost precisely coincides with the duration of the Cold War. The work focuses on a historical analysis of primary sources and archival documents of the Czechoslovak Federal Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade. This material was selected in light of the rarity of secondary literature devoted to this area. To a certain extent, this is a pioneering work, especially given the fact that the archives of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Trade have not yet been declassified and still enjoy only limited usage (processing) in a single publication. One primary function of foreign trade with the Latin American countries (with the obvious exception of Cuba) was to foster good relations between South America and Czechoslovakia during the Cold War. The study of this use of trade as a foreign policy instrument can provide useful lessons about pragmatic considerations to be borne in mind when designing foreign policy as a whole. The thesis presents new findings on the topic and attempts what may constitute the most comprehensive attempt to address economic relations between the aforementioned countries within a defined period.
