Funkce integračních uskupení, cíle a jejich dosahování - případ ASEAN

The ASEAN Integration Group is a very non-homogenous cluster of developing countries and high income countries. In the framework of the thesis, the impact of the group's activities on the region and its achievement of its goals was examined. In order to achieve the goal of the work, missions were reduced to measurable points that are summarized as raising living standards, economic development, and maintaining or developing the rule of law. These parameters were examined from the point of the whole region and of the individual countries. In addition to measuring the dynamics of the development, there was examined also the convergence aspect. While it is not possible to determine how great the impact of community's effort on all of the Member States, some points have been found, on which it is possible to point out the specific activities of the cluster community and thus examine its effect.
