Abstract [eng] The dissertation focuses on identifying the agency problem and finding ways to reconcile the interests between parties to the international commercial agency through the norms of civil and commercial law. It seeks to define the conceptual peculiarities of international commercial agency, develop legal regulation, and identify laws applicable to international commercial agency agreements from a comparative perspective. The dissertation also focuses on the determination of conflict areas within the internal agency relationship, analysing the mechanisms of reconciliation of interests between the agent and the principal. Also, the research aims to analyse the relationship between the parties to an external agency relationship, identifying the balance of interest between the subjects in case the agent is acting outside the scope of authority. The thesis dedicates a great amount of attention to the doctrine of apparent authority and its part in ensuring the balance of interests between the commercial agency participants. The thesis provides a deep analysis of the interrelations between the doctrine of ratification and the doctrine of apparent authority.
