Ekonomická diplomacie v sektoru elektromobility: Čína a USA

This thesis provides a comparative analysis of the economic diplomacy of China and the United States in the electric vehicle sector. The aim of the study is to identify the main differences in the diplomatic approaches of both powers in advancing their strategic interests within a rapidly developing industry that plays a crucial role in shaping the future energy agenda and international relations.The thesis is based on the theoretical framework of economic diplomacy and examines the specific instruments employed by China and the United States, including trade policy, investment strategies, technological cooperation, and control over critical raw material supply chains.The empirical part focuses on the institutional environment of both states and analyzes which of these actors is currently more successful. While the United States relies on market mechanisms, China adopts a more centrally coordinated approach that includes active support of domestic industry and the systematic expansion of control over critical raw material resources essential for electric vehicle production.The findings suggest that competition between the United States and China in the electric vehicle sector goes beyond conventional economic rivalry in the commercial sphere and represents a key element in the ongoing transformation of the global economy and its strategic orientation.
