This thesis deals with the development of mutual trade between the Czech Republic on one side and Russia, China, Ukraine and India on the other side in the last decade, focusing on export from CR to the chosen countries. It also includes a comparison of the main macroeconomic and demographic indicators describing these countries and a comparison of trade-policy terms. Furthermore it gives some recommendations to Czech exporters for their preparation for trade negotiations in the chosen countries.

Russian literature is traditionally regarded as one that served a model and guide for Chinese intellectuals in developing their national literature. It is also recognized that Eastern European literatures drew much attention of Chinese intellectuals in their quest for national identity and modernization. This thesis is aimed at providing a more detailed look at the Chinese- Slavic literary discourse of the 1920’s, focusing on Russian literature as a recognized literary “authority” of the time, and Ukrainian literature as an example of a literature of an oppressed nation, which went under both Russian and Eastern European “labels” at the time. I argue that challenged by a deep social and political crisis, Chinese intellectuals were compelled to develop a unique form of national identity, basing it on two usually mutually exclusive forms of nationalism, which manifested itself in the literary works of the period.

Subject of my master thesis is evaluation of strategically important partners of Czech Republic in international trade: China, Russia, India and Ukraine taking into account their political and law environment, economic environment and social and cultural environment. All of this information is used for analysis of common international trade relations in past with special focus on last 10 years. In the final part of each chapter, dedicated to specific region, I predicted development of future trade relations and I defined strategically important areas of business that can help to accelerate Czech export to these markets.

Energy security has become an important part of national security policies in the last decades.

The conditions shaping Central Asian countries decision making process&rsquo / as well as the policies and priorities of the US, China, India and Russia are analyzed in the light of latest energy policy developments and related pipeline projects in the region. While doing so, this thesis aims to compare and contrast the practices and policies of the US, China, India and Russia in securing access to energy resources of Central Asia.

ABSTRACT Title: How Kalmar Industries and Trelleborg AB developed their business in the emerging markets of China and Russia Background and Purpose: The world is becoming more global and companies are quick to grab hold of this opportunity to internationalize and expand into emerging markets. The emerging markets studied in this paper are China and Russia, which boast growing economics, large sources of labor, and are reportedly highly corrupt. The research for this paper focuses on Kalmar Industries – a leading supplier of cargo handling equipment to ports, terminals, and Trelleborg AB Fluid Systems – an industrial company that sells industrial hose and other industrial rubber components. Both companies have entered the markets of China and Russia and are presently expanding operations there. This paper’s aim is to get a better insight into how they entered these emerging markets and what difficulties they have faced developing in these markets. Method: A survey was sent in advance to potential interviewees working closely with the subject markets. The authors then followed up with interviews, phone interviews, and emailed responses. Theory: Market entry strategies, framework for integrated risk management in international business, international risk perception and mode of entry, two dimensions of corruption, and relationship marketing Findings and Conclusion: Both Kalmar Industries and Trelleborg AB Fluid Systems entered the market through exportation and have gradually increased investments in these markets. Both have experienced challenges in these markets mostly due to government policies and other general risks associated with entering into foreign markets. Although corruption is present in China and Russia, neither company feels that it affects the way they do business. In spite of the risks, both companies feel the benefits outweigh the drawbacks and they plan to continue growing in these markets.
