Master's thesis

Abstract:

Obsahom tejto diplomovej práce je analýza ekonomickej diplomacie Číny v Afrike. Sústredí sa na hľadanie jej motívov, aktérov a nástroje, ktoré sa pri jej výkone používajú. Východiskom je teoretický, všeobecný popis ekonomickej diplomacie a konkrétnejšia charakteristika zahraničnej politiky a ekonomickej diplomacie Číny. Ústrednou časťou je analýza jednotlivých oblastí ekonomickej diplomacie Číny v Afrike, kde je možné sledovať jej výkon v praxi. Jedná sa hlavne o obchod, investície a rozvojovú pomoc. Hlbšie skúma sektor nerastných surovín, kde sa jednotlivé nástroje a aktéri pretínajú. Doplnkovo sa potom venuje ďalším špecifickým oblastiam ako je "health" diplomacia a soft power. Komplexnejší obraz ponúka prípadová štúdia Nigérie, ktorá je ukážkovým príkladom stratégie ekonomickej diplomacie Číny v Afrike. Záver práce hodnotí celkové implikácie pôsobenia Číny v Afrike.
