Cette thèse porte sur la mise en oeuvre du Fonds Social Européen (FSE) en Pologne et son impact sur les femmes vivant en milieu rural. L’objectif est d’analyser l’intervention concrète de l’Union européenne au niveau local dans le domaine de l’emploi et du social ; d’identifier les spécificités ou particularités locales qu’elle rencontre dans les zones rurales polonaises, s’agissant des femmes ; d’observer la manière dont les différents acteurs mettant en oeuvre les programmes cofinancés parle FSE se mobilisent et à quelle fin, comment les bénéficiaires elles-mêmes y répondent et avec quels effets.Ce travail se situe dans le champ théorique de l’Européanisation des politiques publiques, considérée ici comme un processus d’ajustement des institutions, desidées et des intérêts, exprimés à un niveau régional et infrarégional et sous l’angle des interactions entre acteurs. Une dimension microsociologique est ajoutée en fin de thèse, destinée à questionner les limites de la dynamique d’ajustement. Après un retour historique permettant de saisir la spécificité du cas polonais en termes de situation des femmes, d’espace rural, de marché de l’emploi et d’équilibre territorial, nous adoptons une démarche comparative entre trois régions ayant des profils économiques, sociaux et ruraux bien différents : la région Podkarpackie, située au sud-est du pays, la région Łódzkie, au centre, et la région Zachodniopomorskie, au nord-ouest. Nous nous appuyons entre autres sur une recherche empirique de plusieurs mois effectuée dans chaque région, et sur un corpus de 152 entretiens semi-directifs réalisés auprès d’acteurs du FSE et de leurs bénéficiaires. / This research deals with the implementation of the European Social Fund (ESF) in Poland and its impact on women living in rural areas. Our aim is to study the concrete action of the European Union at the local level in the field of employment and social integration; to identify the specific aspects of Polish rural areas and rural women’s situation to which ESF programs are confronted; to analyze the way the different actors mobilize for implementing these programs, how female beneficiaries react to them and what the effects are.Our theoretical field is the Europeanization of public policy, who is considered hereas an adjustment process of institutions, ideas and interests, expressed at a regionaland sub-regional level and through actors’ interactions. We add a micro-sociologicaldimension to our work, in order to question the limits of this process.We begin with a historical return to understand the specificity of the Polish case regarding the situation of women, rural areas, the labor market and the territorialbalance; then we develop a comparative approach between three Polish regions presenting different economic, social and rural backgrounds: Podkarpackie, a region located in the southeast of the country, Łódzkie, in the center, and Zachodniopomorskie, in the northwest. The comparison is based inter alia on a several month empirical research, conducted in each region, and on 152 semistructured interviews with ESF actors and their beneficiaries

Thesis is focused on regional policy of the European Union (known as cohesion policy). The goal of the regional policy is to reduce regional disparities among the member countries of the European Union. Therefore, regional policy has an important role among other policies of the European Union. In the period from 2007 to 2013, regional spending account for 36% of the EU budget. The recent enlargement to 27 Member States has dramatically increased disparity levels across the EU. The new Member States have lower levels of income per head and employment rates than other EU countries. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part characterizes development of the regional policy, its principles and financial instruments. The second part describes enlargement of the European Union to 27 member states, its impacts, reform of the regional policy and the time period from 2007 to 2013. Different views on impacts of the regional policy together with short case study are added. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the convergence process among the old and new Member states.

There are two main aspects this thesis is based on. These are human resources as a major factor of regional development and human capital as the most valuable asset of the organization. The aim of the thesis is to map the situation in the labor market in the Zlín region as seen from the perspective of employers and from the perspective of further regional development in prospective sectors of the economy.

It describes selected areas of human resource management that are important for the theoretical basis of the thesis. The practical part is divided to three parts. The first part introduces the analysis of the situation in the Zlín Region. It contains basic indicators of the level of human resources and compares them with other Czech regions. Then there are the results of a survey and structured interviews, which were conducted among employers in the Zlín region. The aim of the survey was to identify employers' satisfaction with human resources in the region and assess the quality of human resources in terms of the appropriateness of the focus of education and its level compared to the needs of employers in the region. The final part of the thesis summarizes the results obtained in the analysis and compares them with the results from employers in the region. It is concluded by the evaluation of hypotheses.

Master's thesis focuses on the British economy in the first half of the 20th century and examines the most important components of the economic and regional policy in this period. The aim of the work is to discover the main impact of the first and second world war on the economy of Great Britain while emphasizing the role of the arising regional policy in this period. An evaluation of the most important macroeconomical indicators is performed to fulfil the aim of the work. Results of this paper show that the First World War led to the decline of traditional industries. This was supported in the inter-war years by the decrease of demand, high real wages and overvaluation of the pound while returning to the gold standard. Because the employment was mainly concentrated in the declining industries, which were regionally located, regional disparities in the country increased. The high unemployment in these regions led to the beginnings of state controlled regional policy. However significant decrease of the unemployment was only achieved with the mobilisation of the economy during the Second World War and the impact of new growing industries in the fifties.
