Cíle předmětu

This course has a predominantly application character and it is designed mainly for foreign students. The content of the course is formed by three interconnected blocks and introduces students to the process of the Czech Republic’s public sector transformation. In the first block, the range of transformation in the Czech Republic will be introduced to the students and the transformation process will be characterized on the level of the central government. The second block describes the process of fiscal decentralization, and in the third block, students will get more familiar with the transformation of selected public sector segments. At the end of the course students should be able to understand the historical context of the reform and should have the ability to explain and interpret all its particular steps and their influence on the current situation (and issues) of the public sector.
