| Title | The Role of the European Union in the World Trade |
| Summary | Thesis offers an analysis of the current position of the EU in the world trade based on the economic indicators like the GDP growth, FDI flows, competitiveness or innovation capability for the last accessible year 2012 and in some cases also for 2013. Moreover, the position of the EU is compared with the countries of TRIAD and BRIC. Based on information from statistical databases such as World bank, WTO and Eurostat as well as on information from reports and scholarly books and papers concerning the role of the world actors in the area of the world trade nowadays, the thesis argues that EU has the dominant position in the world trade, but the trend is that the EU will not be able to maintain this position for the future without proper crucial actions. The reason is mainly current skepticism and distrust in the EU and the rapid emergence of new economies. Furthermore, the thesis also offers assessment of EU’s potential and limitations in the world trade as well as some possible recommendations for EU for the future in order to enhance its position of the global leader in the world trade. |
