This final thesis aims to clarify the part of diplomacy, which is most visible to the public eye and that is cultural diplomacy, namely the French model. It explains its current institutional structure, financing, the objectives and the means to achieve them.

Olbrecht, V. Impact of the Institutional Framework on Firm's Performance during the Economic Contraction. Diploma thesis. Brno: Mendel University in Brno, 2015. The diploma thesis focuses on exploring the impacts of the institutional framework on the firm's performance in the stage of economic contraction. The thesis extends current research by using microeconomic approach, the stage of economic contraction and TFP approach. By using panel regression with fixed effects it results in different effects and importance of some of the institutional factors. Political and legal environment is overvalued in the developed countries, in contradiction to the post-transition economies where improvements of this environment could contribute to economic performance. The size of government is overall negatively correlated with the performance while the openness of the economy to the foreign trade is correlated positively. Surprisingly, the worse macroeconomic condition is connected with increased firm's performance.
