La ville de Brody en Galicie autrichienne, située aujourd’hui en Ukraine occidentale, devint ville frontalière de l’Empire des Habsbourg suite au Premier partage de la Pologne en 1772 et l’est restée jusqu’à 1918. La thèse esquisse un portrait de cette ville au cours du long 19e siècle. A première vue, la notion de « contre-performance » s’impose : des critères objectifs comme la croissance économique et démographique, tout comme la perception des contemporains connus comme l’écrivain Joseph Roth, qui décrit Brody comme le symbole éternel de la périphérie, invitent à un tel constat. La thèse conteste cet avis parce que beaucoup de témoignages qui ont été produits à partir de la seconde moitié du 19e siècle ont ignoré l’importance de Brody jusqu’en 1800, et ont projeté le présent sur le passé. La thèse veut aussi relativiser dans une certaine mesure cette contre-performance économique et démographique parce que, par rapport à la Galicie, ce déclin doit être perçue plutôt comme une « normalisation ». / Brody, a town today lying in Western Ukraine, became a border town of the Habsburg Empire following the First Partition of Poland in 1772. This thesis embraces a timespan of almost 150 years, excluding the First World War. It examines Brody’s economic and social history in the first two sections; the third section is dedicated to the perception of the town’s Austrian past. The most important material which serves as the basis for this work are archival sources mainly holdings in L’viv, Vienna, Paris and Kraków as well as published sources such as statistics, administrative handbooks and travel reports.

Regional political parties and the European Union: Case study of Spain Abstract The diploma thesis "Regional political parties and the European Union: Case study of Spain" focuses on the area of the regional parties on the stage of the European Parliament, a subject which has not been analysed thoroughly in the past. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis of this phenomenon on the case of the Spanish historical regions (Catalonia, Basque Country, Galicia) which are a recognizable proof of the remarkable institutional strengthening in the framework of a regionalized unitary state. The methodology of triangulation was used for the analysis of this issue as the data of the diverse type (i.e. electoral results, party's material etc.) have been put together through different methods (as a qualitative and quantitative content analysis, deductive and comparative approaches) with the aim to reveal the complete character of the issue and to reach the objective results as possible. The study focuses on the analysis of the regional parties on the European level through their cooperation in the European federations of the political parties as well as the framework of the political groups in the European Parliament. The emphasis is also placed on the analysis of the own work of the members of the European Parliament...
