Abstract

Tato studie se zabývá hospodářskými vztahy mezi Jugoslávií a Československem v období let 1918 a 1938. Na vztahy mezi těmito státy měly podstatný vliv okolnosti, z nichž lze například zmínit politickou situaci ve světě po první světové válce, politickou a hospodářskou adaptaci na nové hranice, vztahy v rámci Malé dohody, regulaci obchodních vztahů prostřednictvím různých obchodních smluv, vypuknutí Velké hospodářské krize či průnik německého ekonomického a politického vlivu do Podunají.

This article deals with the issue of the economic and trade relations between Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia in the period between 1918 and 1938. This article is a shortened version of the doctoral thesis defended in June 2016 at Department of History of the Masaryk University in Brno, and it focuses on the issue of trade relations and the overall development of the economic relations between the two countries. In this analysed period, the two countries were close allies and had developed intensive economic relations, and our goal is to thoroughly research the economic relations between Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia as well as the interdependence of political and economic relations between the two countries.
