Summary

Cílem předmětu je nastínit současné postavení EU ve světové ekonomice v porovnání s hlavními světovými konkurenty (USA, Japonskem) a dalšími vybranými zeměmi (Ruskem, Čínou a Indií), které v posledních letech dosahují vysoký hospodářský růst, a tím zesilují svou pozici ve světové ekonomice. Hospodářský růst je dosahován prostřednictvím hospodářské politiky, jejíž charakter a směr se v jednotlivých státech různí. Absolventi získají přehled o praktické realizaci těchto směrů hospodářské politiky na příkladech vybraných členských zemí EU i dalších vybraných zemí jako jsou USA, Japonsko, Čína, Rusko a Indie.
