The goal of the thesis was to identify the overall life situation of men on parental leave, decisive factors that led them to take the parental leave and at the same time identification of protective and limiting factors influencing mastering the care for the child from the point of view of men on parental leave. The Introduction states reasons that led me to select the topic and describe the issue and direction of my work more closely. The Theoretical Part is comprised of six chapters describing the issue of family, fatherhood and family policy in general, the current situation of men on parental leave in the Czech Republic and in other European countries and legislative problems connected with it. The Research Part comprises eight case studies focused on the research areas set in advance. The Discussion is then comparison of specialist literature speaking on the subject and of results I collected in the Research Part. The Conclusion sums up the whole work and formulates my opinions about results of my studies. Here, I also mention my findings for potential further research. The basic methods used in my qualitative research were half-structured dialogue and open participant observation. The collected data were elaborated in eight case studies. The research sample of eight men was selected by random systematic selection. The men came from Prague and its surroundings and they were between 32 and 55 years old. The research lasted from June 2008 to April 2009. Results of my work can help to make the decision-making in family more objective in view of real benefit of one of the parents taking the parental leave. Further, the work could help overcome common taboos and find at least partial answers to questions that are new to many men.

Partnerships of private and public sectors in form of so-called PPP can be assumed for modern and efficient instrument for public services provision under certain conditions. Its optimal functioning is connected with many assumptions -- for example rigorous implementation of value of money concept and complying with international best practice together with national specifics reflection. Key aspect of PPP is risk allocation which is also the main generator of abovementioned value for money. The paper pursues to PPP definition, its basic types, principles, advantages and potential threats. The emphasis is put on identification, reflection and management of risks in PPP framework, which can be connected with lower level of transparency and many hampers for reliable value for money achievement demonstration (in comparison with classic public procurement). Paper tries to illustrate main features of the most common methods used for risk adjustment in PPP. There are used and described methods coming from Victoria Partnership, MFSR and Treasury UK methodologies. The most important parameters of financial model used for investment decision-making and following project management and their specificities in the Czech Republic are mentioned. Separate chapter of diploma paper is devoted to PPP recording in government finance statistics and government and debt impacts especially in ESA 95 and GFSM 2001 methodologies. Also issues connected with PPP recording in government and financial crisis are mentioned. The final part of paper illustrates main features of the actual largest considered project D3/R3.

In the Czech Republic, half of the infrastructure network is still missing. Moreover, in the past, Dutch and Czech road infrastructure projects have been delivered over-budget and rarely on schedule. Despite a weak fiscal position in the Czech Republic there is still a need for infrastructure investments. Solution for mentioned issues can become the realization of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects. The features (for instance the payment mechanism) of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects not only make these investments possible but also solve other problems mentioned. Both the Netherlands (NL) and the Czech Republic (CR) have already established an environment enabling PPP implementation (e.g. established PPP Units, methodologies, dealing with legislation); But despite many PPP projects being carried out on the municipality level, there is not even one PPP project being implemented on the national level in the CR. This is in contrast to the NL, where there is already a developed PPP market, and there is investment in several new national projects every year. How can the CR improve its PPP implementation policy? The answer to this question provides the final recommendations based on the Dutch PPP practice within this Master's thesis. Learning from mistakes of the other countries, in this case it is the Netherlands, may provide for higher effectiveness in the PPP implementation and in the faster adaptation or improvement of the current partnerships. To elaborate the thesis it has been used interviews, questionnaire and several primary and secondary sources, that have been available in czech, dutch and english languages. The main contributors to the development of this thesis have been the experts from the Dutch PPP Unit at Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment and the experts from the UNECE, who commented on the results and enabled application of the UN National PPP Readiness Self-Assessment tool to enhance the quality of the thesis. Other contributors are experts from PPP Centre at Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic, PPP Association, Czech Ministry of Transport and Ministry of Finance. The tools, recommendations, as well as the PPP maturity Pyramid occurring within the Master's thesis can be applied not only for the further development of the PPP implementation in the Czech Republic, but also in other Eastern European countries. General recommendations arose by comparing practices of both the CR and the NL with respect to the UNECE's criteria. The all recommendations have been shown for clarity in terms of political, practical and procurement level. This comparison has practically enabled to point out the strengths and weaknesses of PPP projects in the CR and NL. Dutch experience has served as a source of considerable information that can make the practical implementation of Czech PPP projects much easier. As a part of the final conclusions of the thesis can be considered a PPP Maturity Pyramid, which schematically describes the current position of both countries due to the successful use of PPP projects. Basically, both countries have already passed "Bad" experience with PPP projects, have produced suitable environment and conditions for their use, but the next step is very important for the successful implementation of PPP projects in the CR. Based on the political support (considered as an essential factor), it is necessary to learn from the past mistakes and start with the practical realization of simple projects (from the beginning) that can be the basis for a standardization and a practical application of PPP projects in the future.
