INICIATIVA PÁSMO A CESTA V OBLASTI MAGHREBU A JEJÍ DOPAD: PŘÍPADOVÁ STUDIE MAROKA, ALŽÍRSKA A TUNISKA

This thesis provides an in-depth examination of China's Belt and Road Initiative and its multifaceted impacts on the Maghreb region, specifically focusing on Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Through an extensive review of scholarly literature, reports, and interviews, the research identifies both opportunities and challenges arising from the BRI's engagement with these countries. The study finds that while the BRI offers avenues for economic growth, particularly in infrastructure development and energy diversification, it also presents complex challenges related to trade imbalances, governance issues, and environmental sustainability. These challenges necessitate nuanced strategies from both businesses and policymakers in the Maghreb region. The thesis contributes to the existing body of knowledge by offering actionable recommendations for leveraging the benefits of the BRI while mitigating its potential drawbacks, thereby aiming for a balanced and sustainable engagement. Keywords: Belt and Road Initiative, Maghreb, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Infrastructure Development, Trade Imbalances, Economic Growth, Governance, Environmental Sustainability, Foreign Policy, China-Maghreb Relations, Business Strategies, Policymaking.
