Title: The impact of economic diplomacy over national economic security. Case study on Eastern Partnership region
Abstract: Economic security has been and will be a key concept in international economic relations. In the 21st century, an era of globalization, new technology, new actors, new issues, economic diplomacy proves its monopoly over international economic relations. An efficient foreign affairs representant is ever more essential to a state’s security, economic and social welfare. Saying this, we stress that economic diplomacy cannot be separated or even became crucial component from the totality of tools used to assure economic security. The EaP region is facing a number of challenges which are mostly resulting from the internal situation, but also determined by the external environment. Thus, diplomats are key players in strengthening the economic dimension of security, in negotiations to establish market rules and regulations, the dissemination of the huge impact that EU values have on national economy, the promotion and implementation of economic policies, and the advocacy of public and private economic interests.  Summarizing, when there is strong external economic activity economic security is enhanced for both sides, for the „home” country and for its partners.

Title: The Study of Mix-form Markets in the Context of Economic Theories of Nonprofit Organizations
Abstract: The objective of the article is to find an answer to questions whether the nonprofit organizations are characterized by a special nature and whether it is possible to approve it throughout comparison of behaviour of different service producers on mix-form markets. First, the economic theories of nonprofit organizations, namely government/market failure theory and trust theory, and resulting characteristics of non-profit organizations (trustworthiness, heterogeneity and value oriented) are introduced. Next, using literature search, empirical results of comparison of behaviour of different service producers are presented on several industries, e.g. hospitals, nursing homes and day centres.   By description of mix-form markets and production behaviour of organizations the empirical results are explained. In literature, special characteristics are often given to nonprofit organizations and forprofit firms as theirs extreme forms. This results to incorrect and misleading results about their behaviour. The production behaviour depends on organizational mission, environment and chosen tactic.

Title: Asymmetry of information, risk a decision making in the process of investing to funds of qualified investors
Abstract: The submitted paper focuses on information asymmetry in the area of investments in qualified investors’ funds. The qualified investors’ funds are the main force standing behind the development of collective investment market in the Czech Republic. Determination of investment strategy has a key role in defining the level of risk of the fund, the knowledge of such investment strategy is essential for the decision of the investor. The quality of the provided information is therefore critical; however, the investor cannot be expected to have the same knowledge of the fund as does the manager of the fund. The manager, maximizing the profit (his fee for managing the fund), may try to contort information towards the investor to “lure” him into an investment and thus achieve his goal. The objective of this paper is therefore the identification of risks connected to investing in QIF as result of the existence of IA on the side of the investor, qualitative analysis and proposal of measures leading to the elimination of IA. The main goal of realized analysis was to create an information model, as a methodological guide for potential investor shows how to work with asymmetry information and how to integrate these informations into the decision-making process.
