The main theme of this thesis is associated with the person of Francisco Franco and his influence on political and economic situation in Spain after the World War II. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific period of Franco's rule. The thesis deals especially with following periods: period of international isolation between the years 1945-53, consequently it investigates the phase of escape from the international isolation between 1953-59 and in conclusion there is analysed the development of the economy and policy in Franco's Spain during the period of 1959-73 which includes so-called "Spanish miracle". In the thesis I will try to evaluate Franco's era from the economical point of view and I will study the influence of "Caudillo" on the spanish economy. One of my aims will be the typological classification of the regime based on economical and political theories. In my research I will focus on analysis of monographs, studies, published literature and I will also try to analyse some of the unpublished resources which were provided to me with Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Czech republic.

My theses scope is description of the Spanish relationship to European Union from the first integration tendencies after the WW II till the preferential agreement ratification in 1970. I will try to analyze part of the Spanish economic history within the context of west-European integration. This period precedes the political transformation of autocratic Spain to modern democracy. These democratic cabinets were able to aspire seriosusly to fully-fledged European Union membership. In my opinion it is not possible to view political transformation as a start-up for democratically elected governments to setup new relationships with EU but it is necessary to understand it as an important condition which is part of a long-term process of Spanish convergence to west-European integration. In my theses I primarily concentrate on the economic development but I mean that it is important to mention the political situation as well.
