This diploma thesis deals with the energy policy of the Russian Federation in the period from 2000 to 2008 and its prospects until 2030. First of all, I analyse particular targets of the energy policy of Russia and put them in a broader framework. Consequently, I focus my attention on three economic targets that need to be met if Russia is to become an "energetic superpower". Firstly, I search for the answer to the question whether Russia has enough oil and gas for foreigner markets and whether it can provide for their export in order to be able to act successfully as an "energetic superpower". Secondly, whether Russia will succeed when exporting oil and natural gas to world markets and whether it will manage to diversify transport routes for its exports. Thirdly, whether the effort to "make the economy move" supported by raw-material exports has been successful and whether this situation can continue. The thesis further follows each answer to these questions in two dimensions of time. A hindsight shall first clarify how successful the energy policy of Russia was when meeting these targets until 2008, or what problems Russia had to face while trying to meet them. In consequence, this provides a basis for a foresight.

The diploma thesis deals with energy commodities investments. The content of thesis is trough analysis of markets to identify key factors affecting supply, demand and prices of energy commodities. By correlation analysis examines the relationships between energy commodities, stocks and the business cycle. Processing time series models create predictions of energy commodities prices. Using the Value at Risk method to quantify the risk, which investor has to accept in the case of investing in energy commodities. In conclusion, based on the results obtained, formulates investment recommendation.

This thesis deals with the energy policy of the Russian Federation and its role within the Russian foreign policy towards the countries of the former Soviet Union. It focuses in particular on the Russian state gas monopoly Gazprom. The thesis inquires into Gazprom's relation to the Russian foreign policy and examines how and to what extent Russia uses Gazprom as a tool for enforcement of its political interests. It also analyses the implications of the Gazprom's acitivities in the postsoviet countries for the energy security of the European union.

Diploma thesis focuses on energy security of EU with special attention paid to oil and natural gas and their perspectives. Specifics of these resources are discussed as well as countries with biggest proven reserves. Further on it analyses present and projected transport infrastructure for oil and natural gas. Primary energy mix is discussed with detailed sections on both resources and their specifics in EU. Recommendations for diversification both in suppliers and sources are made in the final section.

This diploma thesis is focused on main aspects of the economic cooperation between Norway and Czech Republic. Theoretical part describes main determinants of international economic cooperation.

One chapter is focused on an import of the natural gas from Norway to Czech Republic, which is the most important part of the economic cooperation.

The diploma thesis called Energy Potential of Central Asia aims to assess the potential of this region as a supplier of resources of energy. In the first part the basic trends in the area of consumption and production of energy resources are summarized. In the second part the countries of Central Asia region disposing of extensive oil and gas reserves are briefly introduced. The third part describes in detail the oil and gas reserves, firstly considering the whole world and secondly for each of the countries independently. The fourth part describes the options of transport of the energy supplies from Central Asia to consumers' markets in Western Europe, China and India. The last part deals shortly with characterization of approach of the major world and regional powers to this area.

The European Union is becoming increasingly dependent on energy imports. Especially oil and natural gas imports are rising as their production in Europe declines. The most important energy partner of the EU is Russia, which delivers the biggest volumes of oil and natural gas to european countries. The highest rate of energy dependency on Russia can be observed in eastern and central Europe, where diverzification of energy supplies is one of key issues. It is necessary to reduce the energy dependency on russian gas, but at the same time, it is important to build a stable partnership with Russia, which is striving to become a leader at the global energy market, where demand for fossil fuels is rapidly rising. Apart from searching alternative suppliers to russian natural gas in order to achieve higher energy independence, an important role could play alternative energy sources, energy savings or rebirth of nuclear energy.

Diploma thesis describes situation of Russian federation as an energy power. It is concerned with relationships of EU and Russia, especially with the distribution of russian energy resources to Europe. It describes projected gas pipelines, which do not cross the territory of Ukraine. Thesis analyses European union dependence on energy supplies (especially gas supplies) from Russia and is concerned with the question of Energy security. In the thesis there are introduced both relationships of Russia and EU (one subchapter is devoted also to relationships of Russia and Czech republic) and relationships of Russia and China -- rising and rapidly growing economy which needs a lot of energy resources to its growth, therefore China increases its energy demand and turns its interest to Russia. The main contribution of the thesis is conducted analysis of the situation of Russia as energy power and analysis of russian relationships with Europe (and china) and mentioned solutions of EU-Russia dependence on gas supplies.
