Analýza dopadů členství v RVHP na československý zahraniční obchod v letech 1949-1959

Bachelor thesis deals with the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon) and its effects on the Czechoslovak foreign trade in the years 1949-1959. The work is mainly focused on changes in territorial and commodity structure of Czechoslovak foreign trade on the background of development of the Comecon. Partly also mentions impacts on associated industrial production. During this period, Czechoslovakia underwent the most extensive changes due to rebuilding the economy, which was directly associated with the Comecon and its effects on foreign trade. Through the Comecon, Czechoslovakia was forced to accept the role of supplier of other member states of products of engineering industry. Czechoslovakia thus helped with the industrialization of less developed countries. The work also points to the dominant role of the Soviet Union in Comecon, and how could politicize its activities to promote their political goals. The intention is also to outline the work of foreign trade in the Soviet model from theoretical point of view. The aim is therefore to assess the consequences of membership in the Comecon to Czechoslovak foreign trade and its functioning in the Soviet model based on planning and centralization.
