Title: Implications of the institutional theories of regional development for the emergence of the regional innovation systems in the CzechRepublic Author: Pavla Žižalová Summary The accelerated intensity of the economic globalization and its implications for all segments of the society during the last couple of days have changed profoundly the workings of contemporary capitalism. Increased pressure is put on national and regional economies to continuously upgrade their competitive advantages and at the same time new learning opportunities occur at a faster rate than ever. As a result, in recent years, almost all have come to a consensus that today's advanced economies are "knowledge-based" economies -economies directly based on the production, distribution and use of knowledge where learning and innovation creation is the most fundamental process for competitiveness not only for firms and organizations, but also for nations and regions. Parallel to the globalization process there are, however, strong forces of localization. To some extent paradoxically, empirical studies have revealed that knowledge intensive industries - the most potentially footloose of all activities - tend to agglomerate in space, often in proximity to universities and research institutes. Indeed, the most knowledge- intensive of these...

Historical development of crossborder co-operation in Czechia after 1989 on the example of Euroregions
Mňuk, Tomáš ; Havlíček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Milan (referee)
Since the 1990s, cross-border cooperation has been an instrument of the European Union for the development of geographically disadvantaged regions at the border, for which cooperation should be a way to cope economically with the central areas and be an instrument for the often isolated and culturally different inhabitants of the border. Euroregions, which were established to solve regional economic, institutional, or social problems, became a platform for cross-border co-operation activities. One of the objectives of the thesis was to describe the circumstances of the establishment of Euroregions and development of the activity of Euroregions in Czechia with the assumption of regional differentiation. The method used for this part was a desk research and semi-structured interviews. Thanks to finances from the European Regional Development Fund, cross-border cooperation is supported in the form of subsidies, which are available for individual program periods for applicants from defined areas near the border. The Czech parts of the Euroregions are administrators of Small Project Funds, which include projects with a small financial scope, mostly supporting meeting activities of local communities. The second goal of the thesis was the comparison of the funds of individual Czech Euroregions over...
