Předběžná náplň práce

Preferenční obchodní dohody se staly v celosvětovém tržním hospodářství už napořád populární a vyvolaly velký zájem jak akademiků, tak i politických činitelů. Tato práce zkoumá účast České republiky na průběhu přípravného jednání a následujících jednacích kol v rámci Asociační Dohody mezi Evropskou unií a Střední Amerikou, a dopady, které to přineslo obchodní politice a obchodním tokům České republiky se zmíněnou oblastí. Zaměřuje se na kvalitativní přístup politické ekonomie regionalismu a liberální pohled, tak aby podala vysvětlení, jak se Česká republika podílela na této dohodě před jejím podepsáním v roce 2012 a podává přehled některých důsledků, které nastaly po jejím dočasném uplatňování. Práce zjišťuje, že se Česká republika musela řídit právními předpisy a postupy Evropské unie a její společnou obchodní politikou. Navíc, přestože Česká republika nehrála v tomto konkrétním případě významnou roli, to, že je malou a poměrně novou členskou zemí Evropské unie, jí nebránilo zahrnout své zájmy do Dohody a naplnit je. Výzkum si také všímá, že i když podepsání Asociační Dohody přineslo jen málo výsledků, již se projevily změny z obchodního hlediska, včetně zvýšení obchodních toků mezi Českou republikou a Střední Amerikou a snížení obchodních bariér. Tato práce v závěru předkládá další důsledky pro politiku a doporučení pro Českou republiku pro sblížení se se zeměmi Střední Ameriky.

Preferential Trade Agreements have become evermore popular in the worldwide market economy and have raised much interest in academics and policy-makers alike. This paper studies the participation that the Czech Republic had in the Association Agreement between the European Union and Central America during the pre-negotiation and negotiation rounds, and the effects that it brought to the Czech Republic’s trade policies and trade flow with the mentioned region. It focuses on a qualitative approach of the Political Economy of Regionalism and liberal perspective to explain how the Czech Republic participated in this agreement previous to its signature in 2012 and views some of the consequences it has caused after its provisional application. It finds that the Czech Republic had to abide by the legislation and procedures of the European Union and its Common Commercial Policy. Additionally, although the Czech Republic did not give it great significance in this specific case, being a small and fairly new Member State in the European Union did not impede it to impose and meet its interests in the Agreement. The research also notices that even though there are limited results after signing the Association Agreement, there have already been changes in the trade aspect, including a decrease in trade barriers and an increase in trade flows between the Czech Republic and Central America. The thesis concludes giving further policy implications and recommendations for the Czech Republic to draw closer to the Central American countries.
