Práce se zabývá fenoménem globalizace. Hledá odpověď na otázky: Kdo je beneficientem tohoto procesu a za jakých okolností? Kdo na něj doplácí a dotuje ho? Východiskem je zejména sociologicko-ekonomický kontext, který poukazuje na rozporuplnost tohoto procesu, během kterého nadnárodní koncerny získaly značný vliv, kterým ovlivňují světovou ekonomiku a nutí státy přizpůsobovat se jejich požadavkům.

The creditor protection law within corporate debt financing Abstract In this paper I have dealt with the protection of a creditor in debt corporate financing, where the debtor is a capital company. In this case, there are relatively specific conflicts of interest between creditors on one hand and shareholders on the other. This is due, in particular, to the characteristics of a capital company where the shareholders are not liable for the liabilities of the company (or they are limited in their liability) and are not responsible for their decisions, while the assets of the company are separated from the assets of the shareholders. Shareholders and creditors thus make competition for company assets. While the shareholders want to realize their investment as quickly as possible, they stand in an imaginary queue as residual creditors of the company at the end. This may lead to their attempt to overtake fixed creditors. This motivation culminates especially in situations where the company is in financial difficulties. Shareholders are aware of the fact that in case of insolvency, no company assets will be distributed to them. In this thesis, I focus on protection of creditors of companies from opportunistic behaviour of shareholders, who may withdraw the company's assets at the expense of its creditors, i.e....
