Cíle předmětu
Central European countries (Austria, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) are linked by a common historical development and key determinants that have influenced their development. A significant part of the present-day Middle-European countries shared a long-standing fate in common state formations, which influenced the development not only of these entities but also of the local legal arrangements. Knowledge of the similarities, parallels and specificities is useful for better orientation in the Central European space and understanding of the many issues that are reflected in current legal regulations and approaches of these states. The course aspires to present the development of the state and law (mainly from a constitutional point of view) in the Central European area, focusing on the period from the 19th to the 20th century and then on the key areas of law, which will be further divided into public law (especially criminal and administrative law) and private law (especially civil, family and labour law). Students will gain a basic overview of Central European states' historical development and legal systems.

- summarize the historical development of legal order in Central Europe mainly from the 19th to the 21st century,
- compare the congruences and differences in the legal development in Austria, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia,
