Learning outcomes

The aim of the subject is to broaden and deepen the basic knowledge of the students in the regional economy and its functioning in the context of current trends in the Czech Republic and the EU. The concept of the subject is based on the need for detailed knowledge of factors influencing the regional economy at the national, international and global level. Particular attention is paid to the particular structures of the regional economy and the specific application of knowledge on the example of the Czech Republic (primary sector, industry, quarternary and quinternary activities in space and their regional differentiation).
Students will understand the theoretical and practical context of the wider context of regional economy functioning with regard to geopolitical influences and typology of contemporary problems in national and transnational contexts. They will be able to identify and interpret key trends affecting regional economies in the Czech Republic and the EU, analyze and evaluate related economic policies and public spending programs.
