Praxe ekonomické diplomacie: Případová studie České republiky a Keňské republiky

Economic diplomacy is becoming one of the primary activities of states in promoting their national economic interests. Establishing an optimal system to support economic diplomacy is therefore absolutely crucial. This thesis focuses on the structure and evolution of economic diplomacy models in two countries: the Czech Republic and Kenya. It is a two-case study analyzing economic diplomacy models and tracking development of such models in two distinct environments. In both cases, the overall institutional framework of the system is analyzed alongside the activities of trade and commercial diplomacy. At the same time, the long-term development of the models is examined, as well as the position of economic diplomacy within foreign policy priorities. Although the Czech Republic and Kenya represent two markedly different states for both political and economic reasons, their economic diplomacy systems do not exhibit such significant differences. A formally established dual model operates in both countries. In both cases, a shift in the economic diplomacy model from a dual to a more networked system has also been observed, promising greater efficiency through better coordination of all actors.
