Vogt, David ; Tomeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Čermák, Daniel (referee) ; Kopeček, Vincenc (referee)
This dissertation thesis is trying to find and apply a political-geographical approach to the study of political activities of the civil society. At first, it searches it theoretically, for example on the bases of theories of democracy, relations among the state and civil society, social capital etc. It stresses an importance of an active role of a citizen as an actor in liberal democracy, in a complex society, but also a conflictful character or forms of a part of civil society, which, by its public control, finally contributes to strengthening and maintaining of democracy. It also admits a possible risk of conflict with representative democracy. The thesis tends towards those approaches which investigate the relationship of the civil society with the state and the commercial sphere, in which conflicts occur in the (public) space and about the space.

Public interest in environmental law
Horáček, Zdeněk
OF THE DISSERTATION ON "PUBLIC INTEREST IN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW" Zdeněk Horáček, 2011 The dissertation examines public interest in environmental law. Due to the lack of professional resources dealing with the very concept of public interest, the dissertation offers its basic definition and relevant connections, but always in relation to the institutes of the environmental law. Interpretive and historical aspects of public interest are analyzed and basic definition features, classification and process of the formulation of public interest, including correction of the improper process, are established. The dissertation specifies public interest in environmental law as a legally defined value of environmental protection shared by whole society. Such a public interest is promoted in all the phases of evaluation and authorization of a project that may be harmful to the environment, in the extent always depending on the specific situation. The dissertation concludes that environmental protection is a worldwide shared value and public interest. In addition, public interest in environmental protection is a criterion for a decision making process carried out by public authorities, and the resulting public interest (adopted solution) depends on the specific circumstances of the situation.
