Majovská, Barbara ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (referee)
The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the tools and consequences of the fiscal federalism in Spain.

It has been mainly reaction to cultural, historical and political reasons of creation of Autonomous Communities. Economic crisis stroke the Spanish economy very strongly and has been a challenge for the whole financing model. Thus, the main aim of my thesis is to deal with the recent development of the financing model. Since Spain is a member of the European Union, I describe also tools of the fiscal federalism put forward by the European Union. Spain is considered to be one of the most decentralized countries in Europe. In my thesis I want to prove that further decentralization has been confirmed by reforms responding to the economic crisis. Then, I want to show that used tools of fiscal federalism are profitable for both state and autonomous communities and positively affect economy of Spain and that they has helped to deal with economic crisis. Finally, I want to show that Spain is getting closer to federal arrangement of government. As has been proved, decentralization is still prevailing tendency in financing model of autonomous communities. But central government has been proposing...

Devolution and Labour Party in Scotland
Havlíková, Veronika ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Váška, Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Devolution and Labour Party in Scotland" addresses the issue of the relationship between state decentralization and the inner decentralization of political parties. The adoption of devolution has significantly changed the institutional environment in which the British parties operate and thus they were confronted with fundamental question of adapting to this new arrangement. This thesis examines the development of policies and organisation of the Scottish Labour Party after devolution, and aims to evaluate whether the creation of the Scottish Parliament brought for the Scottish Labour Party greater autonomy from the central leadership of the party. The first part of the thesis establishes the theoretical framework for examining the impact of decentralization of the state on organisation and functioning of political parties. It is followed by description of evolution of the Labour Party and its regional branch in Scotland prior to the devolution. This part forms the basis for comparison of the changes in policies and organisation of the Scottish Labour Party after the establishment of the autonomous institutions. The research itself focuses on development of policy in the Scottish Labour Party after devolution, formulation of party policies and electoral programmes. It also examines the...

Hosnedlová, Eva ; Temelová, Jana (advisor) ; Fialová, Dana (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the impact of turistification and decentralization of functions on the use of city centre of Třeboň. The aim is to evaluate how changed the functional use of buildings in the city centre over the past 20 years, who visits the city centre in a variety of daily and yearly periods and whether there is depopulation of the city centre. It has been shown that in Třeboň grows mainly outer zone of the city, while in the city centre is a gradual loss of permanent residents. Over the past 20 years there has been a change in functional use of buildings in the city centre in favor of commercial functions and services for tourism. Due turistification and decentralization leads to depopulation of city centre primarily during out of the tourist season.

Heading for a personal union? Current development of decentralization in Belgium
Hudcová, Nikola ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Bobková, Eva (referee)
This thesis deals with the process of decentralization in Belgium. There live two dominant nationalities - Flemings and Walloons in the country. Their disputes influenced the constitutional development of Belgium and culminated in the transformation of a unitary state to a federation. Despite the formation of the federation and constitutional changes, the relationship between Flemings and Walloons is tense and unresolved, there is still the pressure to further decentralization. After the elections to the Parliament of Belgium in 2010, there was a political crisis in Belgium. The winning parties were unable to form a coalition government throughout the 541 days. As a result of this crisis constitutional changes, which led to decentralization were adopted. The aim of my thesis is to determine if the country is heading to become a personal union.

Kingdom of Spain: from decentralization to an independent states? Efforts of Catalonia
Maľárová, Soňa ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Fleissner, Kamil (referee)
The main point of this thesis is to analyze the status of Catalonia in Spain and the relationship between them. In recent years, in European and even in the worldwide media we can read about the efforts for the Catalan independence with the aim of creating an independent Catalan state. A theoretical analysis of the formation of constitutional arrangement and its vertical structure is instrumental for getting to the heart of the matter. The twentieth century is characterized by the development of democracy and the emergence of new states. Theory of decentralization and separatism are integral parts of these processes. To elucidate the events and the incentives to the efforts for the Catalan independence from Spain is described by the acquisition of Catalan autonomy, since its establishment II. Spanish Republic. By examining political, economic and social spheres, it is clear that Catalonia will continue to seek independence and the creation of an independent state. For now, it appears appropriate to continue the dialogue with the Central Government of Spain and to find common solutions to the project in a conflict-free way. The contribution of this thesis is to clarify for the Czech and Slovak public the Catalan efforts to create an independent state. If the goals of these separatist endeavours are achieved, both the Czech Republic and Slovakia will have to express their opinion on the international recognition of the Catalonian independency.

Monitoring and auditing in structural funds of EU
Vykouková, Barbora ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
This thesis explores the question of the decentralization processes between institutions and other parties involved in auditing and monitoring of the structural funds of the EU. I evaluate the present functional relations of these subjects using document analysis. The thesis follows two levels of analysis, which are compared in the end. The first level concerns the general setting of the systems of relations between union bodies and member states. The second one presents specific situations in the operational program Prague Competitiveness. The thesis disproves the initial hypothesis and claim that the relations on the supranational level tend to be more deconcentrated than decentralized, whereas the system at the national level shows more decentralization characteristics in this specific case.
