Vývoj a aktuální postavení BRICS v mezinárodních obchodněpolitických a investičních vztazích

Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) are identified as key countries on the development of the world economy. The post-crisis economic situation evolves in those countries favorably than in the current world centers. The question remains, however, the long-term sustainability of this growth, which is subject to joint cooperation by countries in addressing political, trade and investment issues. The thesis, therefore, addresses the common features in these areas leading to a coherent cooperation in solving their current development and future positioning in the world economy. The thesis is structured in three chapters of the above-mentioned areas, which give us an objective view of the current position of BRICS and define common characteristics and interests of a unified collaboration to sustain their development.
