Vaňková, Eva ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Hauser, Jan (referee)
The presented thesis is analyzing the cross-border co-operation between three units, the Czech-Polish-Slovak Euroregion Beskydy, the Czech-Slovak Bílé-Biele Karpaty and the Czech-Polish Euroregion Silesia. The object of the work is to point out the concrete factors influencing the collaboration in these Euroregions in 2004-2006 period. From the beginning of this date caught the countries, on whose territory particular structures are situated, as the lawful Member States of the European Union draw the financial aid from the Community Initiative INTERREG. An important part of this Initiative, INTERREG IIIA Programme, was in the Multiannual Financial Framework concerned designated to the support of the cross- border co-operation. The criteria are built on the base of the Theory of learning regions, according which the collaboration in cross-border structures is analysed: a milieu, from which the co-operation arised, a participation of the other subjects on the activities of the Euroregion and main areas of the co-operation and knowledge imparted. The priorities specified at the beggining of the partnership are envisaged with the intern setting of the Euroregion and with the projects truly realized in the period defined.

Common European Immigration Policy Versus National Interests: Case Study of Italy and Poland
Šmídová, Michaela ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (advisor) ; Hauser, Jan (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the development of common immigration policy in the EU in relation to the member states, who are often blamed for the slow progress in the realization of common policy aims. Two member states, Italy and Poland, are analysed in their approaches towards the common immigration policy. Focus is put on the examination of their national influence in the field of migration and its compatibility with the EU approach. The conclusion states a significant influence which the member states have on the development of the common immigration policy, especially in their accentuation of the restrictive character of migration policies. This has been typical of Italian approach until recently. Polish situation is different because of its only recent accession to the EU before which it had to harmonize its migration legislation with acquis communitaire. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

LEARNING PROCESSES DURING CZECH REGIONAL ACTORS' PARTICIPATION IN INTERREG PROGRAMMES
Basařová, Tereza ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Hauser, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis examines the participation of Czech regional actors in the transnational and interregional branches of the INTERREG program in 2007-2013, using organizational learning theory. It focuses on learning processes on individual, group, and organizational levels. To a smaller extent, it also examines dissemination of knowledge towards other actors on the local and European level. The aim of the thesis is to find out whether these learning processes take place on all the mentioned levels and also to uncover the main obstacles of these processes. The method of the research is a questionnaire survey combined with semi-structured interviews. The research reveals that both individual and group learning take place during the projects. The most common barriers are complications stemming from differing environments of the actors (different political, institutional, legal, or administrative environments). Organizational learning takes place as well, but to a smaller extent than learning on the preceding levels. The main problem is the preservation of tacit knowledge. The research also suggests that effective dissemination of knowledge towards other local actors takes place as well. However, the relevance of the final project outcomes for other EU actors appears to be rather low.
