Depuis soixante ans la Corée est un pays divisé entre deux Etats, la République populaire démocratique de Corée au nord et la République de Corée au sud. On trouve des traces de la civilisation coréenne dès la préhistoire dans la péninsule. La nation coréenne va par la suite se développer progressivement pour aboutir à l'unité. C'est en 1910 que la Corée est annexée par le Japon jusqu'en 1945 date à laquelle elle sera libérée par les troupes soviétiques au nord du 38ème parallèle et par les troupes américaines au sud. Cette ligne de démarcation provisoire deviendra définitive suite à la création de deux gouvernements différents et à l'occupation du Sud par les troupes américaines. La guerre de Corée de 1950 à 1953 aggravera le sentiment que chaque Etat est bien distinct l'un de l'autre, laissant un antagonisme perdurer jusqu'à maintenant aboutissant à des accrochages politiques et militaires récurrents. Face à cette division imposée de l'extérieur, les deux Etats coréens se sont rapprochés pour coopérer dans certains domaines. La réunification semble être compromise depuis que le gouvernement conservateur au Sud est de retour, n'acceptant pas une réunification dans le cadre d'une confédération, système proposé par le Nord, le Sud préférant une réunification par absorption. Le problème de la réunification dépasse largement les frontières de la péninsule. Il concerne en premier lieu la Chine et les Etats-Unis. Le Japon est également concerné. L'Europe est absente du débat. La Fédération de Russie semble être le seul Etat puissant à ne pas trouver d'inconvénient à la réunification de la péninsule coréenne. / For already sixty years, Korea has been divided into two states, the Popular Democratic Republic of Korea in the North and the Republic of Korea in the South. The Korean civilisation exists in the korean peninsula since the era of the prehistory. The Korean nation will develop itself progressively and will be unified before its annexion by Japan from 1910 until 1945. Afterwards Korea will be free from Japan thanks to the armed intervention of the soviet troups above the 38th parallel and of the american troups below. This temporary demarcation line will become definitive after the creation of two governments and the occupation of the South by the american army. The Korean war from 1950 until 1953 will make the situation worse leaving side by side two governments leading to recurrent political and military conflicts. Because of this division imposed from the outside, the two Korean states came closer to each other to cooperate in certain fields. However the korean reunification seems to be compromised since the conservative government in the South came into power and refused the korean peninsula to be reunified using the system of confederation, the Republic of Korea prefering absorbing the North. The problem of the reunification overtake the borders of the peninsula. It concerns above all China and the United States. Japan is also concerned. Europe is missing from the debates. The Federation of Russia seems to be the only big power having no objection to the reunification of the korean peninsula and ready to help Korea to accomplish this goal.

The objective of this thesis is to investigate the influence and. impact of foreign direct investment inflow into the Republic of Korea. It is also an investigation of the development of the Korean economy. The research investigates the relationship between foreign direct investment and the development of the Korean economy by examining both the macro and micro aspects of the relationship between the two. This involves considering the performance of the Korean economy as a whole and then taking a more detailed approach by treating the analysis of the relationship at the level of individual industrial sectors. It also involves investigating the role played by the Korean government in the development of the economy and the control of foreign direct investment inflow. The analysis uses a two stage approach, first by taking an exploratory correlation analysis of the interaction between the inflow and a series of key variables, which allows a number of tentative conclusions to be drawn. By using these conclusions in conjunction with the literature survey we were able to analyse the nature and impact of foreign direct investment in Korea using regression analysis. The analysis revealed that except for isolated instances, the influence of the inflow of foreign direct investment at either the macro-or micro level is long-term. The positive effect of the inflow appears to be strongest on Gross National Product and Gross Domestic Product and on exports rather than imports. The results from the principal industrial sectors suggest that greatest impact was when the inflow was associated with larger firms. Furthermore the results suggest that the country of origin of the investment may well have an influence. In addition the research highlights the importance of the role played by the Korean government.

The thesis describes Korean Peninsula political development from 1998 to 2008, in the frame of historical context from 1948 when two independent states were oficially founded. Discussed decade was characterized by the policy of engagement or the sunshine policy of the Republic of Korea, respectively. This represented a concept of friendly relationship towards the DPRK, aiming at final unification. Detailed description of the political development year by year and its evaluation is the subject of this thesis.

This study was concerned with examining the process of educational policy-making at the central government level in the Republic of Korea through an application of systems analysis. The purposes of this study were (1) to examine the relationship existing between politics and education; (2) to construct a systems analysis for examining the process of educational policy-making; and (3) to identify problems and limitations in the educational policy-making process in the Republic of Korea. To accomplish these purposes analytic and descriptive methods were used as a research technique.

The increasing volume of bilateral trade between the Czech Republic and the Republic of Korea is the statistical fact. Korean companies employ many Czech workers. Korean companies cooperate with many subcontractors, that come from different legal environment. Czech managers communicate with Korean investors. In these interactions there is not only a possibility of conflict of different cultural traditions, but also legal culture. I seemed it therefore appropriate to examine what legal environment the Korean investors and business partners came from, and what misunderstandings may possibly arise from the lack of information. Another area of practical application of my work can be a legal relationship with an international element. If the parties choose the law applicable to their contract, it is essential for the actors of the contract to be aware of differences in the jurisdictions considered. The Korean law was influenced by both continental legal system and Anglo-American legal system. Moreover, there are still noticeable the residues of traditional Chinese law, and he later developed traditional Korean law. Due to these different influences, the current Korean law is interesting from a theoretical point of view, too. The source for this work is the Korean commercial and civil act and the Czech Commercial and Civil Code. Whereas I have never learned Korean, I was studying Korean laws in their English translation. In my comments I would like to suggest basic differences between the Czech and Korean law. I hope that my work will provide enough information for the theoretical understanding of the differences and similarities of Korean and Czech legislation.

This diploma thesis summarizes the issue of the developmnet and the transformation of the Korean economy. It focuses on the development of the economy since the Japanese occupation untill now. Due to this broad time period it's goal is not a detailed analysis of each transformation step and process but rather a general summary of the issue. The emphasis is put on the inner-economic processes as well as on the outside circumstances interfering the economy and on inner political issues.
