Cross-border Cultural Cooperation as the Principle Paradiplomacy Form: Evidence from the Czech-Polish Borderland
2021
Microprojects are an important part of Interreg programmes. This article presents areas of cooperation and categories of actors who have been active in submitting and implementing these microprojects in the Czech-Polish borderland. It identifies 11 thematic areas of microprojects, which mainly support people-to-people projects in the field of culture. The most active microproject actors are local govern-ments, while the participation of non-public sector actors has generally rather stagnated since 2004. Cross-border cooperation, based on the use of microproject schemes, is a decisive part of the paradip-lomacy of small and medium-sized municipalities in the Czech-Polish borderland. The rol…

Jurisdiction and applicable law in cases of damage from space in Europe—The advent of the most suitable choice—Rome II
2010
Liability for space activities is a much discussed subject and the advent of commercial space operations has only added to its importance. Articles VI and VII Outer Space Treaty, together with Articles II and III Liability Convention, remain the main entry level for state liability for damage arising from private space activities. Few space-faring nations have introduced national space statutes that include a flow down of their international obligations. The European Union (EU) Regulation on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations—hereinafter Rome II Regulation—could harbour developments for liability law in the context of damage resulting from space operations. Space activities w…
Pārrobežu iepirkšanās Latvijas un Igaunijas pierobežā
2017
Pārrobežu iepirkšanās ir izplatīta parādība, kas beidzamo pāris gadu laikā ir kļuvusi īpaši aktuāla arī Latvijā. Alkohola akcīzes nodokļa palielināšana Igaunijā ir veicinājusi tūristu skaita pieaugumu, kas vienlaikus radījis labvēlīgus apstākļus tūrisma un citu pakalpojumu attīstībai pašvaldībās, kas robežojas ar Igauniju. Pierobežā nereti sastopams pārrobežu iepirkšanos sekmējošu apstākļu kopums, turklāt tūristi Latvijas pierobežu galvenokārt apmeklē ērti pieejamās atrašanās vietas vai izdevīgāku cenu dēļ, tomēr bieži vien izmanto arī citas piedāvātās iespējas un pakalpojumus. Kopumā attieksmi pret pārrobežu iepirkšanos var raksturot kā pozitīvu, tomēr arī Latvijā plānots palielināt akcīze…
Foreign Taleovers and Wages: Theory and Evidence from Hungary
2005
This study discriminates FDI technology spillover from learning effects. Whenever learning takes time, our model predicts that foreign investors deduct the economic value of learning from wages of inexperienced workers and add it to experienced ones to prevent them from moving to local competitors. Hence, the national wage bill is unaffected by foreign takeovers. In contrast to learning, technology spillover effects occur whenever a worker with MNE experience contributes more to local firms’ than to MNEs’ productivity. In this case, experienced MNE workers are hired by local firms and the host country obtains a welfare gain. We investigate empirically wages, productivity, and worker turnove…
Patient’s Cross-border Mobility Directive: Application, Performance and Perceptions Two Years after Transposition
2016
Abstract This paper seeks to analyse the directive on the application of patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare. Two years after the transposition, it is time for first evaluations of its application, performance and perception. The analysis consists of three major elements: reconstruction of the legal scope and subject matter of the new legislation, conclusions of the evaluative reports monitoring its implementation and performance as well as the public opinion polls revealing the EU citizens’ perception of its details. These three components combined together deliver a picture of the state of play about the pan-European cross-border patients’ mobility. The bottomline conclusions nega…
Challenges of Pandemic-Related Border Closures for Everyday Lives of Poles and Czechs in the Divided Town of Cieszyn/Český Těšín: Integrated Function…
2022
AbstractThe article asks whether the divided town Cieszyn-Český Těšín can be considered a joint “living space” in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic. It evaluates the impact of the pandemic on various aspects of the daily lives of the inhabitants and institutions of both parts of this divided town. Three main dimensions of cross-border integration were studied: cross-border flows, cross-border structures/institutions, and the feeling of togetherness, which represents an ideational dimension of cross-border integration. The research was based on studying narratives covering border closures in the divided town, the analysis of cross-borderness of existing Facebook groups acting in both parts…
