Das europäische Verfassungsprojekt scheiterte an ungünstigen innenpolitischen Umständen. Nun weitet sich der halbherzige Ratifizierungsprozess zu einer Orientierungskrise aus, die auch durch den „Plan D“ der Brüsseler Kommission nicht aufgefangen werden kann. Kernpunkte des Verfassungsentwurfs sollten 2009 erneut zur Diskussion gestellt und in einem paneuropäischen Referendum zur Abstimmung gebracht werden. / The project of the European Constitution failed because of unfavourable circumstances related to domestic affairs. Now the ratification process extends to a crisis of orientation, which cannot be solved by the „Plan D“ of the Brussels-based commission. The essentials of a draft constitution should be presented again for discussion in 2009 and then decided in a pan- European referendum.

In der Diskussion um die internationale Rolle Europas ist die Gemeinsame Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik (GASP) Gegenstand häufiger Kontroversen. Ist die EU-Außenpolitik „das blutärmste Produkt der europäischen Integration“ (Kagan 2002) oder gar Beleg für eine wachsende Kluft zwischen Erwartungen und Fähigkeiten (Hill 1998)? Deutlich im Gedächtnis ist noch die Zerrissenheit und Einflusslosigkeit der europäischen Außenpolitik während des Irakkrieges 2003. Sind entsprechende Bemühungen der EU also nicht der Rede wert? Sind die Vorschläge zu Reformen der Verfahren und Institutionen, wie sie der Europäische Konvent zur Zukunft Europas und die anschließende Regierungskonferenz zuletzt vorlegten1, nur Sandkastenspielzeug für Politikwissenschaftler? Oder verspricht der geplante Verfassungsvertrag den strategischen Durchbruch, der die EU zu einem wirklichen außen- und sicherheitspolitischen Akteur im internationalen System werden lässt? / The institutional set up of the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) has been a highly controversial issue on the agenda since its creation. In light of the forthcoming enlargement, the European Convention proposed an institutional reform of the CFSP in July 2003. The reform envisages, among other things, the establishment of an Union minister for foreign affairs instead of the rotating presidency. The hybrid institutional nature of the CFSP makes prognoses very difficult, especially with regard to the division of labour within the EU. New flexible modes of cooperation may become a common feature in the EU-25. „Structured cooperation“ is likely to strengthen EU crisis management.

Ett konvent för frimärkssamlare kommer äga rum i Stockholm år 2019 där internationella besökare kommer närvara. Studier visar att konventindustrin möjliggör ekonomisk tillväxt för destinationen där konventet hålls. Dessvärre finns begränsad forskning kring ämnet. Det är flera olika aktörer som är inblandade vid genomförandet av ett konvent. En vanlig förekommande aktör är en Professional Congress Organiser (PCO), i detta fall Meetagain som är ansvarig för att erbjuda deltagarna aktiviteter och upplevelser i Stockholm. För att marknadsföra destinationen och dess utbud behöver målgruppen identifieras. Mötesarrangören bör ta reda på vilka de är, vad de vill uppleva och hur budskapet ska kommuniceras till dem. Denna studie visar att målgruppen främst består av äldre frimärkssamlare som reser ensamma eller med en partner och att de uppskattar paketering av aktiviteter. Dock bör inte äldre resenärer generaliseras utifrån sin ålder utan i detta fall ses som storstadsresenärer, där deras intressen styr vad som ska erbjudas i form av aktiviteter och upplevelser i Stockholm. / A convent for stamp collectors will take place in Stockholm in 2019, where international visitors will be present. Studies have shown that the convent industry enables an economic growth to the destination at which the convent is being held, unfortunately the scientific research about this topic is limited. There are multiple different actors involved with the implementation of a convent. One of the more commonly used actor is a professional congress organizer (PCO), in this case Meetagain, who is responsible for presenting the visitors with activities and experiences available in Stockholm. In order to market the destination and it’s supply the target group needs to be identified, who are they, what would they like to experience and how is this message best communicated towards them. This study shows that the target group is mainly represented by elderly stamp collectors who travels alone or in the company of a partner, and would appreciate a package solution with activities provided for them. An elderly traveler should not be generalized by his or her age, but should be considered as a city traveler, where the person's interest controls what should be presented in forms of activities and experiences in Stockholm.

This diploma thesis deals with brewing and malting as a way of livelihood of ecclesiastical and secular goods in the territory of the Czech kingdom. This work is also aimed at showing our traditional and national beverage as an important part of our culture and tradition. It wants to introduce beer not only as an alcoholic beverage, but mainly as a business article. Its production and trading with it has been a source of high income not only in the treasuries of cities and nobility, but also in the treasuries of the church. As an example of the Church Brewery, the Conventional Brewery was chosen in Vyšší Brod. The first chapter of the work attempts to show the history of beer brewing closer. The thesis does not aim to describe the history of beer production, but to focus on the first references to it and the production methods used from the oldest cultures, such as Mesopotamian, Babylonian or Egyptian, to our closest Slavonic culture. Another chapter tries to map the production of beer and the struggle for it on the territory of the Czech Crown in the period of its rise, prosperity and mild decline in the middle of the seventeenth century. The last chapter is focused on the Conventional Brewery in Vyšší Brod, which was chosen as a characteristic example for the selected theme and above all as a monument...

Zwei Themenbereiche, die Kernfragen einer Verfassung nach dem klassischen juristischen Verständnis darstellen und sich im europäischen Vertragswerk durch ihre besondere Unübersichtlichkeit auszeichnen sind die Kompetenzen und die Handlungsformen der Europäischen Union. Im Zuge der europäischen Verfassungsdebatte wurden zu beiden Bereichen sowohl innerhalb des Europäischen Konvents als auch von Seiten der Europäischen Institutionen und der Literatur zahlreiche Reformvorschläge vorgebracht. Dieser Beitrag bietet einen Überblick zu einigen dieser Vorschläge über eine Vereinfachung des Rechtsquellensystems und eine bessere Abgrenzung der Kompetenzen und beleuchtet Ansätze, wie das Verhältnis zwischen Handlungsformen und Kompetenzen in einem künftigen Verfassungsvertrag geregelt sein könnte. Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt dem Entwurf des Europäischen Konvents, der die Grundlage für die kommende Regierungskonferenz 2003/2004 zur Entscheidung über eine Europäische Verfassung bilden wird.

The introductory chapter fills a completely blank space concerning the history, organisation and spirituality of the Order of the Discalced Augustinians in the Czech context. The existing literature has so far only briefly outlined this topic; however, it cannot be explored with no knowledge of the 20th -century professional Italian research works or the preserved resources produced by the General Curia in Rome and the 18th century literature of the Order. The thesis also provides a general overview of the activities of the Czech mon­ asteries of the Discalced Augustinians in the period context, also reflecting the in­ fluence of the Order on the spiritual and cultural life of the laymen, an influence which, as regards the monastery in Lnare, extends into the early 20th century. The extant resources have helped to describe relations between the members of the Order and the outside world, be it the links to the local clergy or laymen, espe­ cially burghers and nobility or its dependants. The relationship between the famil­ ies who financed the foundation of the two latest monasteries (Lnare and Lysa nad Labem) and the monastic community is the focus of specific attention. The monas­ tery benefactors who financed specific artworks were also recruited from these contacts. In return, they could hope to be...

This master thesis deals with the history of the Capuchin order in Czech-Moravian territory during 1618-1673. The Czech-Austrian Capuchin province was established in 1618 and in 1673 was divided into Czech and Austrian part which led to formation of two individual provinces of the Capuchin order. The first chapter of the master thesis introduces the review of existing literature that deals with this theme and the characterization of sources. This chapter is focused on narrative sources that are fundamental for this master thesis. In the second chapter, the Capuchin order is characterized (with the emphasis on the structure and formation) and its history, because this information explains the behaviour of Capuchins in the Czech-Moravian territory. We could not omit the Franciscan order and its history in this passage, because these also influenced the orientation and spirituality of the Capuchin order. The whole history of the Czech-Austrian Capuchin province is comprised in the third chapter. This period witnessed a significant progress in admission of new members of the Capuchin order. We are interested in the national origin of the members and their social stratification. Further, we deal with the impact of the Thirty Years War on the order in the specified region. The reasons of founding new...
