Euroregions and INTERREG V-a: A comparative analysis of projects at the Czech-Polish border
Outhierová, Leticie ; Young, Mitchell (advisor) ; Kasáková, Zuzana (referee)
Euroregions are a popular type of cooperation between sub-state actors in the Czech-Polish border area. However, their impact on regional development is still a subject of debate among academics. This thesis explores if the Euroregions affect how their members use EU funds. For this purpose, the members' and non-members' projects, realized within the framework of the INTERREG V-a program between 2014 and 2020, are compared. They are compared in terms of price, number, and type of participants, specific themes, and general thematic goals. The thesis is narrowed down to bilateral Euroregions at the Czech-Polish border - specifically to the Euroregions Glacensis, Praděd, Silesia, and Cieszyn Silesia. The research also offers a comparison between the four selected Euroregions. The results indicate that members' projects are significantly more expensive and involve a larger number of participants. Differences were also spotted regarding the themes and thematic objectives. In comparison, the members' projects of selected Euroregions also had different characteristics. This thesis inquires whether the distinction between members' and non-projects exists.

Jílková, Zuzana ; Říchová, Blanka (advisor) ; Höfer, Karel (referee)

Then the work observes the presence of the parties in coalition, symmetry and asymmetry across levels of governments and coordination across levels in parties, between governments and within coalitions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of political parties in the development of the federalization of Belgium. Resource base is made up of election results from the official website of the Belgian state institutions, of the general literature about elections, political parties and formation of coalitions and of political party's direct expression.

Multilevel governance in the field of renewable energy: The Case of Brittany
Kasalová, Michaela ; Tomalová, Eliška (advisor) ; Mejstřík, Martin (referee)
The master's thesis Multi-level governance in the field of renewable energy: the case of Brittany focuses on the development of renewable energies in the French region of Brittany. The theoretical approach is based on the distinction of two types of multi-level governance developer by Hooghe and Marks. The thesis aims to investigate whether these two types can be found in the case of Brittany. Changes in the position of the region on the energy field caused by the process of energy transition are also addressed. The development of energy policy at the European level is described since it has decisive influence on the renewable energy sources. The EU set binding targets through its Climate and Energy Package which are then transposed to the national level. The thesis continues by investigating the role of the French regions in the field of renewable energy and comes to the conclusion that the regions have been empowered through the process of energy transition. Regions are actively involved in the development of renewable energy as is shown in the case of Brittany; nevertheless, they are still dependent on the decisions taken at the national level.
