in English language: This work pursuits the evolution of the so-called Hanoverian factor in British politics of the 18th and early 19th centuries, with particular regard to the specific interests of George III. to this territory.

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.
