This diploma thesis deals with the topic German-French cooperation on crisis management in the eurozone. Germany and France, represented by chancellor Merkel and president Sarkozy, cooperated together very closely during the crisis and contributed significantly to the further deepening of European economic and monetary union. The aim of this thesis is to analyze and compare the features of the German and French European policy and the German and French ideas about the functioning of economic and monetary union. Secondly, to examine the progress of the German- French cooperation on finding crisis solutions. And finally to define convergence and divergence in the crisis management of both countries. Due to different ideas about economic policy - the German ordoliberalism and French concept called Gouvernance économique - both countries were forced to make mutual concessions. The most important compromises within the anti-crisis measures are the bailouts to indebted countries, European rescue funds or tightening budgetary discipline of European countries by using the fiscal pact. Nevertheless, there are still areas in which both countries disagree, primarily the Eurobonds and other measures to support economic growth. The last part is devoted to the question of German models implementation into the EU and the...

在一兩開放體系為貨幣同盟與非貨幣同盟的情況下， 本文利用微分賽局理論來探討兩對稱國政府在財政政策上的策略搭配。 本研究分析並比較兩國在貨幣同盟國與非貨幣同盟國中採取合作的財政政策、非合作的財政政策與領導和跟隨者的財政政策等三種不同策略對兩國總體經濟之影響。 最後本文對本研究的模型作數值模擬並試圖利用其結果來闡明目前歐元區國家主權債務危機的可能解決之道。 / Considering both cases of monetary union and non-monetary union, this paper uses the differential game theory to explore the coordination of the fiscal policies between two governments. In both cases, each country can choose to cooperate in the fiscal policy, not to cooperate in the fiscal policy, or just to follow the policy of the other country. Diffrent stratigical decisions may cause different economic impacts. Finally, the paper also uses numerical method to simulate our model and provide some possible solutions to the current economic crisis of the Eurozone.

Ireland is generally seen as one of the biggest supporters of the European Union. Irish public opinion researches have been showing long-term and extremely positive attitudes to the European integration. The pro-European consensus is also known among the local political parties. Moreover, at the end of the 20th century, a strong economic growth had started and the Ireland quickly became a model example of how positive impact the European integration may have on its Member states. European issues therefore did not attract too much attention in the local political discourse. This changed in the early 21st century, when the increasing public euroscepticism began observable. The thesis examines whether selected Irish political parties adapted their rhetoric and actions to ever more critical mood of voters. These are Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party. The thesis covers three critical moments of the Irish European integration, namely the Nice Treaty, the Lisbon Treaty and the Irish debt crisis. It searches for negative comments about the EU and European integration of examined political parties in the campaigns before the referendum on European issues, as well as in their election statements to the Irish parliamentary elections, also taking place in the selected period. The aim of the thesis is...
